It may become necessary to empty the water from the heating system
when the radiators have to be replaced, should there be a major water
leak or a risk of frost. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Open the valves on all radiators connected to the heating system.

2. Switch off the boiler electrical power supply.
3. Wait around 10 minutes until the radiators are cold.
4. Connect an evacuation hose to the plug located at the lowest
level. Place the end of the hose in a discharge sump or in a place
where the water discharged from the valve can not do any
damage.
5. Open the filling/draw-off valve on the heating system. Bleed the
heating installation.
WARNING
The water may still be hot.
6. When no more water comes out of the drainage plug, close the
drainage valve.
