function is to not allow water to pass above the desired water
temperature. Value can be adjusted from 60°C to 75°C. When the
active protection value is reached, heating will switched off and
ventilation will start to cool down water by 10°C from setpoint. After
cooldown heater will start heating in the previous heating settings.

If the water temperature reaches 80 degrees, the heater will shut down and
an error message will appear.
In case of an error LED indicators blink red once every 5 seconds and an error
message is displayed depending on the fault and the heater connected. Full
descriptions of the fault codes can be found in the respective manual of the
heater.
REMINDER!
To ensure reliable operation of the heater, it is required to start it once in 30 days on
max heating power for 30 minutes including the warm seasons of the year, when heater
is out of operation.
This action is necessary to remove any viscous film sediments on moving parts of the
fuel pump. Failure to do so may lead to premature failure of the heater.
That is why AUTOTERM Comfort Boiler Control has a built-in reminder to
start the heater for 30 minutes if it has been out of operation for at least
30 days. After 30 days of inactivity since the last start red LED indicators
blink once in every 5 seconds and message is displayed.
Accept the start by pressing the knob once. Decline the start by pressing the “Back” button
once. In case of a decline, this message is repeated if the heater hasn’t been launched in any
of the heating modes.
