4.14Guaranteeing the correct filling pressure of
the heating installation
4.14.1 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 0.1 MPa and
0.2 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, thesymbol 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.Presstwice.
◁ 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: 0.1 to 0.2 MPa (1.0 to 2.0 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 9)
◁ If you have topped up the installation with suf-
ficient heating water, the display automatically
disappears after 20 seconds.
4.14.2 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.
▶ In case of doubt, ask a competent person
for details.
1.Ask a competent person where the filling cock is loc-
ated.
2.Open all radiator valves (thermostatic radiator valves) of
▶ Connect the filling cock to a hot water supply in the way
you were told by the competent person.
▶ Open the hot water supply.
▶ Turn the filling cock on slowly and allow water to flow in
until the required filling pressure has been reached.
▶ Close the hot water supply.
▶ Purge all radiators.
▶ Check the filling pressure in the display.
▶ Top up with more water if necessary.
▶ Close the hot water supply.
Condition: Product with integrated hot water generation and filling loop
4.15Switching off the product's functions
4.15.1 Switching off hot water generation
Validity: Product with hot water generation through external domestic hot
water cylinder
1.To switch off cylinder charging without switching off
heating mode, press().
◁ The set hot water temperature flashes in the display.
2.Use thebutton to set the hot water temperature to

4.16Protecting the heating installation against
frost
4.16.1 Frost protection function
Caution.
▶ Fit the double non-return valve (1) of the filling line to
the cold water stop valve and secure the valve with the
spring clip (2).
▶ To fill, first open the stop valve (3).
▶ Slowly open the stop valve (4) so that the water flows
into the heating system. Fill it with water until the required filling pressure is reached.
▶ Close the stop valve (4).
▶ Purge all radiators.
▶ Check the filling pressure in the display.
▶ Top up with more water if necessary.
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.
▶ After filling, close both stop valves and disconnect the
filling device by removing the double non-return valve
from the cold water stop valve.
3.Return to the basic display. (→ Page 7)
Note
Both stop valves must be closed while the
heating system is operating and the filling line
must be removed from the double non-return
valve again.
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).
4.16.2 Draining the heating installation
Note
To keep the frost protection devices active, you
should switch your product on and off using the
controller, if one is provided.
Another way to protect the heating installation and the
product from frost for very long switch-off times is to drain
them completely.
▶ Consult a competent person about this.
