CHECKING THE DHW FLOW

You can check the DHW fl

ow detected by the water heater (read in US gallons 

per minute or in liters per minute). See ACCESSING THE INFORMATION MENU 

on pages 1-10 to 1-11.

ADJUSTING THE DHW MODES

Note

: These modes apply only to the SFC series of boilers.

When in standby, the unit has three DHW modes related to the heat exchanger 

temperature:
Standard Mode (OFF): The unit will respond to a call for DHW as a priority over 

the space heating demand. When the DHW demand is satisfied the unit will 

return to the space heating load if the load is still calling. The water heater’s 

heat exchanger will not maintain its DHW temperature between demands for hot 

water. 
Comfort Mode (ON): The water heater’s heat exchanger is maintained at the 

DHW temperature.
ECO Comfort Mode (ECO): This mode operates like the Comfort Mode but has 

the added advantage of learning when the DHW is used. During low-use periods, 

the heat exchanger is allowed to cool.
To switch between the three modes:
1. From the Main Menu, touch the Faucet button twice.

The DHW mode is displayed on the left side of the panel.
