Saving energy on central heating
■
Do not overheat your home. Every degree of room
temperature reduction saves up to 6 % on your heat-
ing bills.
Do not set your individual preferred temperature too
high, e.g. not above 20 °C: See pages 12
and 17.
■
Heat your home to the reduced temperature at night
or during regular absences (not applicable to under-
floor heating). To do so, adjust the time program for
central heating: See page 17.
■
To switch off functions that are not required (e.g.
central heating in summer), set the appropriate oper-
ating program on the heat generator control unit:
Operating instructions for heat generator con-
trol unit
■
If you are going away, set the
"Holiday program"
:
See page 20.
During the period that you are away, the room tem-
perature will be reduced and DHW heating switched
off.
■
Ventilation
:
Close the thermostatic valves when venting/airing.
Open the windows fully for a brief time.
■
Roller shutters
:
Close roller shutters (if installed) at dusk.
■
Thermostatic valves
:
Ensure that thermostatic valves are properly adjus-
ted.
■
Radiators
:
Never cover radiators or thermostatic valves.
Saving energy on DHW heating
■
During longer periods of absence, heat the DHW to a
lower temperature. To do so, change the time pro-
gram for DHW heating (see page 21) or select the
holiday program (see page 20).
■
Switch on DHW circulation only for those times in
which you regularly use hot water. To do so, set the
time program for the DHW circulation pump on the
control unit of the heat generator:

trol unit

trol unit, please contact your contractor.
Tips for greater comfort
More comfort in your home
■
Set your individual preferred temperature: See
page 12.
■
Set the time program for your heating circuits such
that your individual preferred temperature is auto-
matically reached when you are present: See
page 17.
■
If you need a higher room temperature quickly, set
"Comfort mode"
Example:
Late in the evening, the reduced room temperature is
set by the time program. Your guests stay longer.
■
If you are at home for longer than usual, set
"Holi-
days at home"
Sufficient DHW heating for your needs
■
Set the time program for DHW heating such that
there is always sufficient hot water for your usual
routine: See page 21.
Example:
You need more DHW in the morning than in the day-
time.
■
Set the time program for the DHW circulation pump
on the heat generator control unit such that at times
when hot water is run more frequently, DHW is avail-
able immediately from the taps:
