Environment / disposal
Environmental protection is a key commitment of the Bosch Group.
Quality of products, efficiency and environmental protection are equally
important objectives for us. All legislation pertaining to the environment
is strictly observed. To protect the environment we use the best possible
technology and materials, subject to economic considerations.
Packaging
Where packaging is concerned, we participate in country-specific
recycling processes that ensure optimum recycling. All of our packaging
materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
Old appliance
Old appliances contain materials that should be recycled.
The relevant assemblies are easy to separate, and all plastics are
identified. In this manner the individual components are easily sorted
and added into the recycling and disposal systems.

Tips on energy saving
Economy mode
The appliance has been designed, so that the oil/gas consumption and
environmental impact are as low as possible yet comfort is at its
optimum level.
Inspection/Maintenance
So that oil/gas consumption and environmental impact can be kept as
low as possible for as long as possible, we recommend that you take out
a servicing and maintenance contract with an authorised contractor
covering an annual inspection and demand-dependent maintenance of
the boiler.
Heating systems with weather-compensated control unit
With this type of control, the outside temperature is captured, and the
heating system's flow temperature is adjusted in accordance with the
heating curve set on the control unit. The lower the outside temperature,
the higher the flow temperature.
Set the heating curve as low as possible. Turn the appliance temperature
controller to the maximum design temperature of the heating system.
Heating systems with room temperature-dependent control
The room in which the room temperature-dependent control unit is
located determines the temperature for the other rooms (reference
room). Thermostatic valves should not be installed in the reference
room.
Set the device's temperature controller to the maximum design
temperature of the heating system.
In each room (except the reference room), the temperature can be
regulated individually by means of thermostatic valves. If a lower
temperature is required in the reference room than in the other rooms,
leave the room temperature-dependent control unit set as it is and
reduce the temperature by means of the radiator valve.
Thermostats
Fully open the thermostatic radiator valves in order to achieve the
required room temperature. Change the required room temperature at
the temperature controller only if the temperature is not achieved after
a prolonged period.
Economy mode (night setback)
Substantial amounts of fuel can be saved by reducing the room
temperature during day or night. Reducing the temperature by 1 °C can
save up to 5 % energy. It is not recommended to let the daytime
temperature of heated rooms drop below +15 °C, otherwise the cool
walls would continue to cool down the whole room. The room
temperature would have to leading to spikes in energy demand and
higher energy consumption than if the supply of heat was to remain
constant.
In a well insulated building, set the temperature for economy mode to a
low level. Even if the set economy temperature is never reached, energy
will be saved as the heating system remains switched off. The start of
economy mode can be set earlier if needed.
