a
 Danger!
Risk of poisoning and burns caused by 
escaping hot flue gas!
Hot flue gas can escape and cause poison-
ing and burns if the boiler is operated with 
an incompletely mounted or open air/flue 
gas duct or if the boiler is operated with 
internal leaks with the front casing open.
 > Operate the boiler
- for commissioning
- for testing purposes
- in continuous operation
only when the front casing is fitted and 
closed and the air/flue gas duct is com-
pletely mounted.
 > Exclusively for test purposes such as gas 
working pressure testing the boiler may 
be operated with the front casing 
removed for short durations ONLY but 
must have a completely mounted air/flue 
gas duct.
 > After completing the installation, stick the 835593 
sticker in the user's language to the front of the unit. 
The sticker is delivered with the boiler.
You must brief the operator of the boiler on the handling 
and function of the ecoTEC plus.
 > Explain the importance of regular maintenance by a 
competent specialist company to the operator.
It is strongly recommended that a maintenance contract 
be taken out to ensure regular maintenance. Important 
information is available from Vaillant Service Solutions 
(0870 6060 777).
 > Fully complete the Benchmark gas boiler commissioning 
checklist which will be found at the back of this manual.
If this boiler is not installed and commissioned in accord-
ance with manufacturer's instructions, this may void the 
guarantee (Note: Your legal rights remain unaffected by 
this.)
 > Handover the boiler to the operator.
 > Explain the basic operation of the heating installation to 
the operator.
 > Provide the operator with all relevant instructions and 
boiler documentation.
 > Go through the operating instructions with the operator
 > Reply to his questions if necessary.
 > Make the operator aware of the need to keep the instruc-
tions in a handy location near the boiler, but not in or on 
the boiler.
 > Draw special attention to the safety instructions, which 
the operator must follow.
 > Instruct the operator that no changes or adaptations 
must be made to the flue system or combustion air sup-
ply. These must both terminate outside of the building 
and be constructed only from approved components.
 > Explain to the operator how he should monitor the water 
level/filling pressure of the system.
 > Explain to the operator which measures are required to 
top up and purge the heating installation if required.
 > Explain to the operator how to correctly set the tempera-
tures, the controllers and the thermostatic radiator 
valves (economically).
 > Complete and sign off the Benchmark commissioning 
check list.
 > Complete and sign off the guarantee documentation.
