18 About the Boiler
●
When there is no further DHW demand, the burner
switches off and the 3-way valve remains in DHW mode
position during a wait time (5 minutes by default), so that
it can work more efficiently and provide more flexibility if
the taps are continuously turned on and off.
●
When the wait time has elapsed, the 3-way valve returns
to the Heating mode position and the boiler is ready to
provide heating.
Note
●
DHW priority: Whenever a hot water tap is turned
on in the home, the boiler begins to run in DHW
mode and the heating function is deactivated until
all the taps are turned off again.
●
If the boiler water pressure drops below 0.4 bar,
refer to “4.8 Filling the System” on page 41 to fill
the boiler system.

2.6.3 Operating in DHW Mode
To operate the DHW mode:
1. Press the Menu button (
) to access the Main menu and
select “3. DHW Operation” by pressing the OK button (
).
2. In the DHW Operation menu, select “1. DHW Set Temp” and
select a DHW temperature setpoint higher than current
DHW temperature.
●
When a hot water tap is turned on in the home, the boiler
flow meter detects DHW demand, the 3-way valve goes
to DHW mode and the circulation pump starts up, which
makes the water in the boiler primary circuit flow through
the DHW heat exchanger, producing instant hot water.
●
The electronic control modulates the burner output in
order to constantly produce hot water at the temperature
required.
