To owner/user: please note that as explained in the warranty information, installation is not covered by the warranty (for example, electrical and gas connections to the wall furnace). However, we still require that you have these things checked because they can affect the performance (and/or safety) of the heater. This is why we have included them in the Maintenance Schedule. Further, routine maintenance may be required more frequently in non-domestic applications or when operating in adverse environmental situations. It is your obligation to ensure that you comply with these requirements.
