Maximum energy savings are achieved at an economy temperature that is approx. 5°C below the comfort temperature. MANUAL OPERATION The temperature can be changed at any time using the setting wheel. In the AUTO mode, this remains unchanged until the next switching point. Your Sparmatic Comet then switches to the set heating pro- gramme.
If the temperature drops sharply due to an open window, your Sparmatic Comet automatically closes the heating valve for 10 minutes to save energy. WIND appears in the display. Your Sparmatic Comet then returns to normal operation. Set the window function individually: Navigate to the menu item WIND and confirm with the button.

FROST AND LIME PROTECTION The frost protection and limescale protection functions are automatically active. Frost protection: If the temperature drops below 8°C, the Sparmatic Comet opens the valve until the temperature rises above 8°C again. This prevents the radiators from freezing.
