Cleaning Vater top-up valve
The boiler cover can be cleaned with a
moist cloth and afterwards dried and po-

detergents or solvents.
Upozornění: Before cleaning turn the
boiler off with the main switch.

Regular service
To assure continuous and safe running of Fig. 5
your boiler, we recommend that the boiler
is checked and serviced in regular yearly
intervals. These inspections are not cove-
red by the boiler’s warranty. The works to be
done are specified in the Service Book and
must be done by an authorised service.

Warranty and waranty conditions

The PROTHERM Panther 24 KTV, 28 KTV
and 24 KOV gas-fired boilers are covered
by a warranty defined in the Warranty
Certificate, the Service Book and by other
conditions specified in this Operation Guide
and Installation Guide (chapters Introduc-
tion and Boiler installation).
