How to switch the boiler onto winter mode

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
May 22, 2025

To switch the VOKERA Unica i28 boiler to winter mode, you need to:

1. Ensure the appliance is connected to gas, water, and electricity supplies.
2. Use the mode selector switch on the lower front of the boiler to set it to “heating and hot water” mode.
3. Adjust the central heating temperature by rotating the temperature selector clockwise to increase the temperature (between 40°C and 80°C).
4. Set the time clock or external thermostat (if fitted) to your desired heating schedule.

This enables both heating and hot water functions, suitable for winter use.
