Air in the heating water causes corro-sion in the heat generator circuit and in theproduct.▶ If you use non-diffusion-tight plastic pipesin the heating installation, ensure that noair gets into the heat generator circuit.Caution.Risk of material damage due to heat trans-fer during soldering.▶ Only solder connectors if the connectorsare not yet screwed to the service valves.Caution.Risk of material damage caused bychanges to the pipes that have alreadybeen connected.▶ Only bend connection pipes if they havenot yet been connected to the product.5.1 Installation requirements5.1.1 Information on liquefied petroleum gasoperationIn the as-delivered condition, the product is preset for opera-tion with the gas group indicated on the data plate.5.1.2 Purging the liquid gas tankIf the liquid gas tank is not purged properly, this may result inignition problems.▶ Ensure that the liquid gas tank has been purged properlybefore installing the product.▶ If required, contact the filler or the liquid gas supplier.
