Terminology

To provide you with a better understand-
ing of the functions of your control unit,
the appendix contains the chapter "Ter-
minology" (see page 29).

Tips on saving energy

Utilise the setting options on the control
unit and the room temperature control
unit:
■ Never overheat your rooms. Every
degree by which the room temperature
is reduced saves up to 6 % on heating
costs.
Never set your room temperature
higher than 20 °C (see page 12).
■ Never set the DHW temperature too
high (see page 14).
■ Select the heating program that meets
your current requirements:
– In the summer, if you do not want to
heat any rooms but require hot
water, select the " " heating pro-
gram (see page 14).
– If you do not want to heat any rooms
and require no hot water for a pro-
longed period of time, select the
" " heating program (see
page 11).
Further recommendations:
■ Correct ventilation/airing.
Briefly open windows fully and at the
same time close the thermostatic radi-
ator valves.
■ Close roller shutters (if installed) at
dusk.
■ Set thermostatic valves correctly.
Introductory information
■ Never cover radiators or thermo-
static valves.
■ Controlled DHW consumption: A
shower generally uses less energy
than a full bath.
