Benchmark Checklist on the inside back pages of the
installation instructions supplied with the product and
that you have signed it to say that you have received a
full and clear explanation of its operation. The installer is
legally required to complete a commissioning checklist
as a means of complying with the appropriate Building
Regulations (England and Wales).
All installations must be notified to Local Area Building Control either directly or through a Competent Persons Scheme.
A Building Regulations Compliance Certificate will then be
issued to the customer who should, on receipt, write the Notification Number on the Benchmark Checklist.
This product should be serviced regularly to optimise its
safety, efficiency and performance. The service engineer
should complete the relevant Service Record on the Benchmark Checklist after each service.

◁ Heating mode is switched off.
◁
The symbol appears in the display.
4.11 Guaranteeing the correct filling pressure of
the heating installation
4.11.1 Checking the filling pressure of the heating
installation
Note
To ensure that the heating installation operates
smoothly, the filling pressure when the heating
installation is cold must be between 0.10 MPa and
0.20 MPa (1.0 bar and 2.0 bar) or lie between the
two dashed lines in the bar graph display.
If the heating installation extends over several
storeys, a higher filling pressure may be required
for the heating installation. Ask a competent person for details.
In addition, the symbol appears after approx.
one minute.
If the filling pressure in the heating installation
falls below 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar), then the product
switches off. The display alternates between the
fault message F.22 and the current filling pressure.
1.
Press twice.
◁ The values for the current filling pressure and for the
minimum and maximum filling pressures appear in
the display.
2. Check the filling pressure in the display.
Result 1:
System pressure: 0.10 … 0.20 MPa (1.00 … 2.00 bar)
The filling pressure is in the intended pressure range.
Result 2:
Filling pressure: < 0.08 MPa (< 0.80 bar)
▶ Fill the heating installation. (→ Page 8)
◁ If you have topped up the installation with suf-
ficient heating water, the display automatically
disappears after 20 seconds.
4.11.2 Filling the heating installation
Caution.
Risk of material damage due to heating
water that is extremely calciferous or corrosive or contaminated by chemicals.
Unsuitable tap water damages the seals
and diaphragms, blocks components in the
product and heating installation through
which the water flows and causes noise.
▶ Only fill the heating installation with suit-
able heating water.
1. Ask a competent person where the filling cock is loc-
ated.
2. Connect the filling tap to a heating water supply in the
way you were told by the competent person.
3. Open all radiator valves (thermostatic radiator valves) of
the heating installation.
4. Open the heating water supply.
Troubleshooting 5
0020277253_00 ecoFIT sustain Operating instructions 9
5. Turn the filling cock on slowly and allow water to flow in
until the required filling pressure has been reached.
6. Close the heating water supply.
7. Purge all radiators.
8. Check the filling pressure in the display.
9. Top up with more water if necessary.
10. Close the filling cock.
11. Return to the basic display. (→ Page 7)
4.12 Protecting the heating installation against
frost
4.12.1 Frost protection function
Caution.
Risk of material damage due to frost.
The frost protection function cannot guarantee flow through the entire heating installation, which means that parts of the heating
installation may freeze and therefore become
damaged.
▶ During a period of frost, ensure that the
heating installation remains in operation
and that all rooms are sufficiently heated,
even when you are away.
Note
To keep the frost protection devices active, you
should switch your product on and off using the
controller, if one is provided.
If the heating flow temperature falls below 5 °C when the
on/off button is on, the product comes into operation and
heats the circulating water to approx. 30 °C on both the heating side and the hot water side (if available).
4.12.2 Draining the heating installation
When the unit is switched off for an extended period, frost
protection can be guaranteed by completely draining the
heating installation and the product.
▶ Consult a competent person about this.
4.13 Switching the product to standby mode
▶ Press the reset button for less than three seconds.
◁ The display shows OFF and goes out.
◁ The product is now in standby mode.
◁ The product's frost protection function is activated.
◁ The main power supply is not interrupted. The
product continues to be supplied with power.
5 Troubleshooting
5.1 Detecting and rectifying faults
▶ If faults occur, proceed in accordance with the table in
the appendix.
Troubleshooting (→ Page 11)
▶ If the fault cannot be eliminated using the specified
measures or if fault messages (F.xx) occur, contact a
competent person.
5.2 Calling up (Live monitor) status codes
▶
Press and at the same time.
Status codes – Overview
◁ The current operating mode (status code) is shown
on the display.
6 Care and maintenance
6.1 Maintenance
An annual inspection of the product carried out by a competent person is a prerequisite for ensuring that the product is
permanently ready and safe for operation, reliable, and has a
long working life.
6.2 Caring for the product
▶ Clean the casing with a damp cloth and a little solvent-
free soap.
▶ Do not use sprays, scouring agents, detergents, solvents
or cleaning agents that contain chlorine.
6.3 Reading maintenance messages
If the symbol is shown in the display, the product requires
maintenance work.
The product is not in fault mode but continues to operate.
▶ Consult a competent person about this.
▶ If the water pressure is flashing at the same time, simply
add more heating water.
6.4 Checking the condensate discharge pipe
and tundish
The condensate discharge pipe and tundish must always be
penetrable.
▶ Regularly check the condensate discharge pipe and tun-
dish for faults and, particularly, for blockages.
You must not be able to see or feel any obstructions in the
condensate discharge pipe and tundish.
▶ If you notice a fault, have it eliminated by a competent
person.

on/off button, and when the gas isolator cock
is open.
▶ Temporarily decommission the product
only if no frost is expected.
▶ Temporarily decommission the product only if no frost is
expected.
▶ Switch off the product via the main switch installed on-
site.
◁ The display goes out.
