4 Keep the room in which the boiler is installed well ventilated.
4 Do not block ventilation outlets.
4 Do not cover the radiators. Do not hang curtains in front of the
radiators.
4 Install reflective panels behind the radiators to prevent heat
losses.
4 Insulate the pipes in rooms that are not heated (cellars and lofts).
4 Close the radiators in rooms not in use.
4 Do not run hot (or cold) water pointlessly.
4 Install a water-saving shower head to save up to 40 % energy.
4 Take showers rather than baths. A bath consumes twice as much
water and energy.
The remote control is available in the following versions:
4 Wire
4 Radio
The setting of the control panel and/or of the remote control has a
considerable influence on energy consumption.
A few tips:
4 In the room in which the room thermostat is installed, it's advised
not to use thermostatic valve radiators. If a thermostatic valve is
used the valve must be fully opened.
4 Completely closing and opening thermostatic valve radiators
causes undesirable temperature fluctuations. Open and close
thermostatic valves in small steps.
4 Lower the temperature to around 20°C. This reduces heating costs
and energy consumption.
4 Lower the temperature when you air the rooms.
4 When setting a time schedule , bear days when you are absent
and holidays in mind.
