15 PUTTING THE WATER HEATER OUT OF OPERATION
It is recommended to have the water heater operational all year round to prevent any frost damage during the
winter and/or rotating parts getting jammed during other times of the year (built in water heater safety features).
OUT OF OPERATION: On/off function.
To be used when the appliance must be put out of operation for a long period because of a defect or another
safety risk.
Act as follows:

Disconnect or switch off the tank thermostat and/or other external controllers from the water heater. The
pump and fan will stop after a short time.

Switch off the water heater by pressing the [ON/OFF] button for six seconds.

Properties of the ‘off’ function:

The keys do NOT respond and the menu is NOT accessible.

The burner does NOT respond to an external heat demand.

The water heater CAN, however, be switched on again by pressing the [ON/OFF] button.

Pump(s), fan(s) and cascade (if applicable) are operational, and so are both recirculation protection (if
applicable) and frost protection.

To reactivate the water heater, switch on the burner by pressing [ON/OFF] for six seconds again.
The frost protection module can still activate the burner(s).
To prevent this, switch off this protection or put the water heater in ‘power off’ mode (next paragraph).
OUT OF OPERATION: Power off.
To assure that the water heater cannot become active at all anymore, power should be cut off completely.
