Liability
Operator responsibilities
The operator must ensure that the machine undergoes regular maintenance and that the safe-
ty devices are checked regularly by a Schaerer AG service partner, a representative thereof,
or other authorised persons.
Schaerer AG must be notified in writing of any defects within 30 days. For hidden defects, this
period is extended to 12 months from the date of installation (work report, handover report),
but no longer than 18 months after the product leaves the factory in Zuchwil.
Safety-relevant parts such as safety valves, safety thermostats, boilers etc. must not be re-
paired in any circumstances. They may only be replaced.
The following intervals apply:
• Safety valves: every 24 months.
• Boilers (steam boilers, flow heaters): every 72 months.
These measures are performed by a Schaerer AG service technician or your service partner
as part of the maintenance routine.
When using additional products it is the responsibility of the operator to provide information on
any properties which may trigger an allergic reaction.
