• The operating element of the SolvisControl system controller must be protected from direct sunlight. Solvis heating systems use state-of-the-art technology and meet all relevant safety requirements. They are designed with particular emphasis on safety. But improper operation may result in hazards or damages.
Information about the system 2 Information about the System Congratulations on your purchase of the SolvisDirekt system. The main feature of this system is the central, hygienic and economic water heating. General functional description (Figure on right) The hot water station WWS-36 as part of the SolvisDirekt system consists of components (1) and (2).

Maintenance and Care 5 Maintenance and Care Wipe off any dirt from the SolvisStrato using a damp cloth. Do not use any solvents to clean the SolvisStrato. Heating systems must be maintained regularly according to the German Energy Conservation regulations (EnEV). We recommend that you have your local local specialist perform maintenance annualy.
Troubleshooting 6 Troubleshooting If the boiler does not start up, check that there is a 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 heating requirement (see page 9). If there is no heating requirement but you believe that there should be one, Operat.Syst: Ax make sure that the time is set correctly (page 12).
Troubleshooting 6.1 Problems with the room temperature Problem Cause Remedy Switch the main switch at the control console to on, if necessary. Switch the heating emergency switch to on, Controller is switched off if necessary. Check the main fuse for the heating system. Resume external burner operation.
Troubleshooting 6.2 Setting the heat curve To save energy, the heating curve can be set exactly with All corrections require a certain amount of time to the aid of the rules in the table below. Corrections should take effect. For this reason, wait at least one day only be made in small steps.
