Combination boiler: Heating (Mode) The space-heating water is controlled by the thermostat. Provided which that enables the user to either set the desired room temperature required or set the heating water temperature. In some cases this thermostat may not be suitable for multi-system applications (The installing contractor will make this determination and install suitable alternative controls).
Combination boiler: DHW (Mode) The domestic hot water (DHW) is controlled by the user. Because the Navien Combination boiler is a multi-purpose design, it can provide hot water on demand. The Navien Combination boiler only produces Hot Water only when you use it.
Cleaning the Combination Boiler Regular Maintenance: Make sure the unit is OFF and the electrical power supply has been disconnected. The CAUTION combination boiler may remain very hot for several minutes after it is turned off. To prevent burns, wait until the equipment has cooled down before inspecting or servicing.
