The appliance should be sited in a well ventilated room where
it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing.
To prevent corrosion, the combustion air must not contain
any corrosive substances. Substances classed as corrosion-
promoting include halogenated hydrocarbons such as are
found in solvents, paints, adhesives, aerosol propellants and
various household cleaners. Appropriate measures should
be taken where necessary.

temperatures below freezing. If this is not possible, the
appliance must be switched off and drained and the batteries
removed whenever there is a risk of freezing.
Danger: the appliances are designed to prevent flame reflow.
In case you suspect anything unusual in the appliance
operation, please shut down gas and water cocks, and call
