Caution
Keep the installation room frost-free.
If an antifreeze agent is used, pipework, radiators and gas con
densing boilers are protected against frost damage. For the gas
condensing boiler to be ready for operation at any time, suitable
measures must also be taken to keep the installation room frost-
free. If applicable, please also note special measures for any in
stalled domestic hot water calorifiers.
The table shows the relevant amounts of heat transfer medium and water,
that need to be mixed together for varying volumes of water. If other frost
protection temperatures are required in exceptional cases, individual cal
culations can be made on the basis of this table.

(1) The water for the mixture must be neutral (potable water quality with no
more than 100 mg/kg chlorine) or demineralised. Please also follow the
manufacturer instructions.
5.2.7 Water hardness tips
1. If partial softening to 6°dH is insufficient according to the project-spe
cific water hardness diagram, use either an additive or use only fully
desalinated water (with pH stabiliser).
If a boiler is replaced in an existing system, we recommend installing a
dirt trap or filter in the system return, upstream of the boiler. Flush the
system thoroughly.
2. Depending on the materials used, determine whether the addition of
inhibitors, partial softening or full desalination is the best method.
3. Record the filling process (If an additive is used, note this on the boil
er). To prevent gas pockets and bubbles, it is essential to fully vent
the system at maximum operating temperature.
4. After 8 to 12 weeks, check and record the pH value. Offer and con
clude a maintenance contract.
5. Once a year, check the system is operating correctly with regard to
pressure maintenance, pH value and the volume of top-up water
used.
