Filling the heating system
Fill water
!
Please note
Unsuitable fill water increases the level of
deposits and corrosion and may lead to appli-
ance damage.
■
Flush the heating system thoroughly before
filling.
Only use fill water of potable water quality.
■
Special antifreeze suitable for heating systems
■
can be added to the fill water. The antifreeze
manufacturer must verify its suitability.
■
Fill and top-up water with a water hardness in
excess of the following values must be soft-
ened, e.g. with a small softening system for
heating water.

1. Check the pre-charge pressure of the expansion
vessel.
If the pre-charge pressure is lower than the static
system pressure, top up with nitrogen until the pre-
charge pressure is 0.1 to 0.2 bar (10 to 20 kPa)
higher than the static system pressure.
If the pre-charge pressure is too high, adjust it
accordingly.
Check all connections on the heating water side for tightness

2. Open the non-return valves.
3. Fill the heating system with water and vent until the
charge pressure is 0.1 to 0.2 bar (10 to 20 kPa)
higher than the pre-charge pressure of the expan-
sion vessel.
Permiss. operating pressure: 3 bar (0.3 MPa)
Test pressure: 4 bar (0.4 MPa)
4. Mark the charge pressure at pressure gauge
5. Return the non-return valves to their operating posi-
tion.
