1.5.4 Danger from high temperatures
Hot surfaces
WARNING
Risk of injury from hot surfaces!
❒ FOR SAFETY REASONS, KEEP ALL DOORS TIGHTLY CLOSED.
❒ Before all work on the boiler, burn out the fuel-loading chamber and let the
boiler cool.
❒ Protective gloves must generally be worn for work on the boiler. Only touch
the boiler using the handles provided.
❒ Insulate the flue gas pipes and do not touch them during operation.
❒ Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the boiler.
❒ Allow the boiler to cool before carrying out any maintenance work.
➥ Touching hot surfaces on the boiler, on the flue gas pipe and on heating
pipes can cause serious burns.
Hot media
WARNING
Risk of scalding from hot media!
❒
Temperature adjustments on the boiler controller must only be undertaken in
consultation with the manufacturer.
❒ Do not touch heating pipes and consumer loads in the heating circuit (radiator
etc.) during operation.
❒ Allow the system to cool before carrying out any maintenance work. Always
wear protective gloves when working on the system.
❒ Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the heating system.
➥ Heating pipes and consumer loads in the heating circuit can heat up
considerably from the hot water. An incorrect setting at the boiler controller
means that the water obtained can be extremely hot. Contact with hot
water or hot surfaces can cause scalding to skin.
Hot ashes
WARNING
Risk of injury from hot ashes!
❒
Always wear protective clothing and protective gloves when working on the
system.
❒ Before handling ash, check whether or not it is still hot. Allow to cool if
necessary.
➥ Ash is extremely hot after the combustion process. Contact can cause
serious burns.
