"General safety regulations" beyond the scope of these
regulations are listed below.
The safety regulations must be observed during opera-
tion, maintenance and repair of heaters of the Thermo E
series.
ATTENTION
Failure to follow the installation instructions and the
notes contained therein will lead to all liability being
refused by Spheros GmbH and its companies. The
same applies if repairs are carried out incorrectly or
with the use of parts other than genuine spare parts.
This will result in the invalidation of the ECE Type

For heaters in vehicles, which are not subjected to the
European Directive, inspection and approval by the
respective inspection authority is required, if applicable
regulations are in place.
