OPERATION
The SEFE furnace is equipped with a user-friendly control panel. It includes five buttons and seven pilot lights (see explanations below).
Legend
1-
LOW SPEED CONTINUOUS VENTILATION button:
allows the selection of the low speed continuous ventilation mode.
2-
LOW SPEED CONTINUOUS VENTILATION pilot light:
indicate that the low speed continuous ventilation mode is activated.
3-
HIGH SPEED CONTINUOUS VENTILATION button:
allows the selection of the high speed continuous ventilation mode.
4-
HIGH SPEED CONTINUOUS VENTILATION pilot light:
indicate that the high speed continuous ventilation mode is activated.
5-
2.5 KW CONTINUOUS HEATING button:
allows the selection of the 2.5 kw continuous heating mode.
6-
2.5 KW CONTINUOUS HEATING pilot light:
indicate that the 2.5 kw continuous heating mode is activated. This mode is pending if the pilot light is blinking
(see CONTINUOUS HEATING MODES section below).
7-
5 KW CONTINUOUS HEATING button:
allows the selection of the 5 kw continuous heating mode.
8-
5 KW CONTINUOUS HEATING pilot light:
indicate that the 5 kw continuous heating mode is activated. This mode is pending if the pilot light is blinking (see
CONTINUOUS HEATING MODES section below).
9-
THERMOSTAT pilot light:
indicate that the furnace is receiving a heating demand from the thermostat.
10-
50% or 100% HEATING CAPACITY buttons:
allow to choose the heating capacity of the furnace in case of a heating demand from the thermostat. Two
possible capacities: 50% or 100%.
11-
50% pilot light:
indicate that the chosen heating capacity is 50%.
12-
100% pilot light:
indicate that the chosen heating capacity is 100%.
Continuous ventilation modes
Thanks to your SEFE furnace, it is possible to continuously ventilate your house. The control panel included two continuous ventilation speeds (low and high).
Low speed continuous ventilation
Use low speed continuous ventilation all year for maximal comfort due to constant air temperature. If your central heating system is equipped with an efficient filter
and you use the low speed continuous ventilation all year long, the air in your house will be healthier as it will be permanently filtered. Continuous ventilation will
also have a positive effect on air humidification if your system includes a humidifier.
High speed continuous ventilation
If you do not have an air-conditioner, the high speed continuous ventilation mode is perfect during hot sunny days. In this mode, the furnace blower provides a
powerful airflow that quickly circulates throughout the house.
If a continuous ventilation mode is activated when there is a heating demand, it is temporarily deactivated to allow the blower to switch in heating speed. The pilot
light indicating the selected continuous ventilation mode will however remain on to indicate that the continuous ventilation will start again at the selected speed
once the heating demand will be completed.
Continuous heating modes
Air temperature variations in your house have a huge impact on your comfort. The SEFE furnace propose a continuous heating mode minimizing temperature
variations between heating demands from the thermostat.
If you feel uncomfortable temperature variations when it is cold outside, activate the 2.5 kw continuous heating mode. For more power, simply activate the 5 kw
continuous heating mode.
Note that if you choose to activate the continuous heating mode, the low speed continuous ventilation will automatically be activated. It is also possible to select
the high speed continuous ventilation when the continuous heating mode is activated.
The continuous heating mode become automatically in stand-by at the end of the heating season and it is automatically reactivated at the beginning of the next
heating season. Consequently, you do not have to deactivate this mode in summer. When in stand-by, the LED pilot light indicating the selected continuous heat-
ing mode (2.5 kw or 5 kw) will blink. You can deactivate it at any time by pressing on the button corresponding to the activated mode (2.5 kw or 5 kw).
Heating capacity selection (50% or 100%)
At the beginning and the end of the heating season, the weather is more gentle than at the heart of winter. So, your house may not require the full capacity of your
SEFE furnace. That is why the control panel include a button that enables you to choose between 50% or 100% capacity.
In spring and fall, select the 50% capacity mode to reduce the heating power by about the half when there is a heating demand from the thermostat. This will
increase your comfort while allowing you to make energy savings.
In the middle of the heating season, it is recommended to select the 100% capacity mode.
N.B.
If the furnace is connected to a two-stage thermostat, the furnace heating capacity must always be set at 50%. If not, you will not enjoy the
benefits of this type of thermostat.
