tain additional information.
Target group
These instructions are exclusively inten-
ded for qualified contractors.
■ Work on gas installations must only be
carried out by a registered gas fitter.
■ Work on electrical equipment must
only be carried out by a qualified elec-
trician.
■ The system must be commissioned by
the system installer or a qualified per-
son authorised by the installer.
Regulations
Observe the following when working on
this system:
■ Statutory regulations regarding the
prevention of accidents
■ Statutory regulations regarding envi-
ronmental protection
■ Codes of practice of the relevant trade
associations
■ All current safety regulations as
defined by DIN, EN, DVGW, TRGI,
TRF, VDE and all locally applicable
standards
■ Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regu-
lations
– the appropriate Building Regulation
either the Building regulations, the
Building Regulation (Scotland), Build-
ing Regulations (Northern Ireland),
– the Water Fittings Regulation or
Water Bylaws in Scotland,
– the current I.E.E. Wiring Regula-
tions.
If you smell gas
Danger
Escaping gas can lead to explo-
sions which may result in serious
injury.
■ Do not smoke. Prevent naked
flames and sparks. Do not
switch lights or electrical appli-
ances on or off.
■ Close the gas shut-off valve.
■ Open windows and doors.
■ Evacuate any people from the

If you smell flue gas
Danger
Flue gas can lead to life-threat-
ening poisoning.
■ Shut down the heating system.
■ Ventilate the installation site.
■ Close all doors in the living
space.
Flue systems and combustion air
Ensure that flue systems are clear and
cannot be sealed, for instance due to
accumulation of condensate or other
causes. Ensure a sufficient supply of
combustion air.
Instruct system users that subsequent
modifications to the building characteris-
tics are not permissible (e.g. cable/pipe-
work routing, cladding or partitions).
Danger
Life-threatening poisoning
caused by carbon monoxide in
the flue gas occurs as a result of
leaking or blocked flue systems
or an insufficient supply of com-
bustion air.
Ensure the flue system is in
proper working order. It must not
be possible to close apertures for
interconnected combustion air
supply.
Extractors
Operating appliances that extract air to
the outside (cooker hoods, extractors, air
conditioning units, etc.) can create neg-
ative pressure. If the boiler is operated at
the same time, this can lead to reverse
flow of the flue gas.
Danger
The simultaneous operation of
the boiler and appliances that
extract air to the outside can
result in life threatening poison-
ing due to reverse flow of the flue
gas.
Fit an interlock circuit or take suit-
able steps to ensure a sufficient
supply of combustion air.
Working on the system
■ Where gas is used as the fuel, close
the main gas shut-off valve and safe-
guard it against unintentional reopen-
ing.
■ Isolate the system from the power sup-
ply (e.g. by removing the separate fuse
or by means of a mains isolator) and
check that it is no longer 'live'.
■ Safeguard the system against recon-
nection.
!Please note
Electronic assemblies can be
damaged by electrostatic dis-
charge.
Prior to commencing any work,
touch earthed objects, such as
heating or water pipes to dis-
charge static loads.
Repair work
!Please note
Repairing components that fulfil a
safety function can compromise
the safe operation of your sys-
tem.
Defective components must be
replaced with genuine
Viessmann spare parts.

Auxiliary components, spare and
wearing parts
!Please note
Spare and wearing parts that
have not been tested together
with the system can compromise
its function. Installing non-author-
ised components and making
non-approved modifications or
conversions can compromise
safety and may invalidate our
warranty.
For replacements, use only orig-
inal spare parts supplied or
approved by Viessmann.

Vitodens 242-F, type B2UA
Preset for operation with natural gas E
and natural gas LL.
For conversion to LPG P (without con-
version kit), see page 53.
In principle the Vitodens 242-F may only
be delivered to countries listed on the
type plate. For deliveries to alternative
countries, an approved contractor must
arrange individual approval on his own
initiative and in accordance with the law
of the country in question.
Intended use
The appliance is only intended to be
installed and operated in sealed unven-
ted heating systems that comply with
EN 12828, with due attention paid to the
associated installation, service and
operating instructions. It is only designed
for the heating of water that is of potable
water quality.
Intended usage presupposes that a fixed
installation in conjunction with permissi-
ble, system-specific components has
been carried out.
Commercial or industrial usage for a pur-
pose other than heating the building or
DHW does not comply with regulations.
Any usage beyond this must be
approved by the manufacturer for the
individual case.
Incorrect usage or operation of the appli-
ance (e.g. the appliance being opened
by the system user) is prohibited and
results in an exclusion of liability. Incor-
rect usage also occurs if the components
in the heating system are modified from
their intended function (e.g. if the flue
gas and ventilation air paths are
sealed).
Preparing the installation
Handling
If possible, leave the boiler on the pallet
during handling.
If space constraints make it necessary,
the boiler can be split for handling.
!Please note
Prevent damage to the appliance
during handling.
Never set the boiler down on its
front or sides, or apply any load
to these surfaces.
