The controller, which is available as an
accessory, automatically controls the flow
temperature depending on the outside
temperature.

The main switch is used to switch the
product on and off.

The + button is used to display the cylinder
temperature (if the product is equipped
with a cylinder temperature sensor for the
domestic hot water cylinder).

The − button is used to display the filling
pressure of the heating installation.

The Reset button is used to reset the
product in the case of certain faults.

The heating flow temperature rotary knob
is used to set the heating flow temperature
if no controller is connected. If a controller
is connected, the heating flow temperature
rotary knob should be turned clockwise as
far as it will go.

The cylinder temperature rotary knob is
used to set the cylinder temperature if a
domestic hot water cylinder is connected.
If a control is connected, the rotary knob
should be turned clockwise as far as it
will go. The controller then determines the
cylinder temperature.
