6 Energy saving tips
Heating economically
The boiler is designed to provide a high level of comfort while keeping gas
consumption and the resulting environmental impact as low as possible. The gas
supply to the burner is controlled according to the heat demand. The boiler continues
to operate on low fire if the demand for heat drops. The technical term for this
process is modulating control, and it reduces temperature fluctuations and provides
even distribution of heat throughout the home. This means that the boiler may stay
on for relatively long periods but will use less gas than an appliance that continually
cycles on and off.
Inspection/Maintenance
To ensure that gas consumption and environmental impact (pollution, etc.) remain as
low as possible over an extended period of time, we recommend that you sign an
inspection/maintenance contract with a trained and certified heating contractor
covering scheduled annual service and maintenance.
Heating control unit
Use a heating control unit with room temperature influence or an outdoor reset
control unit and thermostatic valves.
For further information, see the operating instructions for the heating control unit
included in the scope of delivery.
Thermostatic valves
Fully open the thermostatic valves to ensure that the desired room temperature is
reached in all cases. Allow several days for the system to stabilize after every
adjustment and only change the setting for the heating curve or the room
temperature on the control unit after the system had stabilized on the previous
settings.
Radiant floor heating
Do not set the supply temperature higher than the maximum level recommended by
the manufacturer.
