3.  FOR THE USER

3.1 

Instructions for Use

Warnings

The installation and commissioning shall 
be done by a recognised installer.

Always make the device free of 
voltage before opening the door. Have 
maintenance and fault recti

fi

 cation 

carried out by authorised personnel. 
Never work on the device while feed 
voltage is still present.

The device may not be operated by 
people (including children) with limited 
psychological and/or mental abilities, 
lack of experience and knowledge 
unless they have received agreement 
or instruction from a person who is held 
responsible for their safety.

From the point of view of safety it must 
be ensured that children do not play with 
the device.

3.1.1  Filling the Device

Method of working:
1.  Check whether the drain valve is 

closed.

2.  Open cold water valve to the boiler and 

open all valves at hot water drainage 
points for bleeding. The device is 

fi

 lled 

as soon as cold water 

fl

 ows at all 

drainage points.

3.  Reclose all valves at hot water drainage 

points.

3.1.2  Putting into operation

Method of working:
1.  Check whether the device is 

fi

 lled 

with water.

2.  Switch the mains switch on for 

fi

 xed connection or place the 

connector in the stop contact.

3.1.3 Use

The device is under water pipe pressure 
(maximum 8 bar (=800 kPa)). As 
much cold water is fed is as hot water 
consumed. The regulating thermostat 
switches the electrical feed automatically. 
This means that if the temperature 
rises above the desired temperature, 
the circuit is closed and heat is fed to 
the water. The circuit is broken once 
again when the desired temperature is 
reached.

Changing the set temperature is an 
operation which must be carried out by a 
recognised installer. For this purpose the 
device must be made completely voltage 
free before the access door to the 
regulating thermostats may be opened.

In connection with limiting scaling it is 
recommended to set the temperature 
at 60°C. A maximum thermostat is also 
installed which interrupts the circuit fully 
at a water temperature of 93°C. This 
thermostat can be reset again once the 
temperature of the water has dropped 
by 20°C. If the maximum thermostat 
intervenes again the regulating 
thermostat must be set to a lower 
temperature.
