7. Activate "ON mode" by going through the following steps:
- Press once on the blue arrow ( ) to position the cursor beside

with .
8. If there is no heat demand, then raise (11.4 "Setting the water temperature")
T
set
. Note the original setting. Draw some hot water off to create heat
demand.
9. Check whether the heating cycle runs correctly (9.3 "The appliance's
heating cycle").
10. If you have adjusted T
set
, return it to the original value (11.4 "Setting the
water temperature").
11. Remove the plastic cover on the top of the appliance.
12. Check the supply and burner pressures (3.13 "Check the supply pressure,
gas control valve pressure, CO
2
value and switching pressure") and adjust
them where necessary.
13. Check that all components of the chimney flue system are properly attached.
14. Check the pressure differential across the pressure
switch (3.13.4 "Switching pressure measurement") and, if this is too low, the
heat exchanger should be cleaned (15.4.3 "Clean heat exchanger").
15. Test the operation of the overflow valve of the protected cold supply setup.
The water should spurt out.
16. Check the drainage pipes from the discharge points of all valves and remove
any scale deposits that may be present.
17. Drain the water heater (see draining (6 "Draining")).
15.3 Water-side
maintenance
15.3.1 Introduction
The following steps must be carried out on the water side:
1. Descaling and cleaning the tank
.
2. Clean condensation water discharge.
15.3.2 Descaling and cleaning the tank
Scale and lime build-up prevent effective conduction of the heat to the water.
Periodic cleaning and descaling prevents build-up of these deposits. This
increases the service life of the water heater, and also improves the heating
process.
Take the rate of scale formation into account when deciding on the service
interval. Scale formation depends on the local water composition, the water
consumption and the water temperature setting. A water temperature setting of
maximum 60°C is recommended for the prevention of excessive scale build-up.
To guarantee a good, watertight seal around the cleaning opening, replace the
gasket, washers, bolts and, if necessary, the lid with new parts before
reassembly (see the figure). A special set is obtainable from the
supplier/manufacturer.
