Dear Customer,
The remote control is the “brain” of your heating
system. We have set it at the factory so that the
settings will be appropriate for most cases. This
way, daily operation is easy. The large, clear
display of the remote control “speaks plain text”
and shows all relevant information.
Heat with program
With the remote control you can set how warm
you want it at what times. We have already set
various scenarios from which you can choose.
An example: do you work and therefore not at
home during the day? Then perhaps you only
need full heating comfort in the mornings and the
evenings. During the day you save energy in
“economy mode” and at night, the heat is
reduced further still. Perhaps you have entirely
different needs because you are at home all day?
Whatever your lifestyle and your habits may be –
the heating system will adapt itself to your needs.
Even for unforeseen cases: 100% comfort
Did you get home earlier than planned and would
you like to have the house warm right away even
though your boiler is in “economy mode”? In this
case the remote control switches to “heating
mode” right away with the press of a key. In just
a short time, you will be as comfortable as usual.
Another example: you would like to shower even
though your boiler is currently running in
“economy mode”? Here too, the press of a key
can help you. The water is heated and in just a
short time you can enjoy your hot shower.
Depending on the type of hot water heating, the
system returns to “economy mode” automatically
after half an hour or after an hour.
Solar optimization
With our patented
“SolarInside-ControlUnit” process, you save
energy. You can find information about the solar
yield on the remote control's Info menu.
These operating instructions
These operating instructions contain the most
important information on daily operation of the
remote control.
There is a listing of other interesting functions of
the remote control in section 6.
If you would like to learn more, there is a detailed
description of all available functions in the
detailed installation and operating instructions.
Specialized terms are explained for you at the
end of these operating instructions.
We hope you will enjoy your new Bosch product.
Your Bosch team
