  • Page 22 Check pressure F470 has a pressure gauge which shows the heating system pressure. The pressure should be between 0.5 and 1.5 bar, but varies during temperature changes. If the pressure drops to 0 or rises to 2.5 frequently, contact your installer for troubleshooting.

  • Page 23: Safety Valves

    Safety valves F470 has two safety valves, one for the water heater and one for the heating system. The water heater's safety valve sometimes releases a little water after hot water usage. This is because the cold water, which enters the water heater, expands when heated causing the pressure to rise and the safety valve to open.
