The unit will now run on low fan speed. For satisfactory
operation the mean water temperature should not be below
140°F.
Temperature Control

desired temperature.
The fan speed can be set to boost by switching the fan speed
switch to II.
A low speed setting is recommended for normal operation with
the higher speeds for boost heating when required.

off and the water flow stops. If left in an operating position the
unit will automatically restart when the heating system is
reheated.
