4.12 Activating the shift-load cylinder
Applicability: Product with integrated hot water generation and shift-load
cylinder
To activate an actoSTOR shift-load cylinder which is also
connected, you must switch on cylinder charging on your
product.
▶To do this, activate Comfort mode (Comfort mode
(→Page 8)).
◁The symbol " " appears in the display.
▶Set the hot water temperature.
Conditions: Cylinder charging switched on
–Hot water temperature: 50 … 65 ℃
Danger!
Risk of scalding!
The products are equipped with an automatic
anti-legionella function: If the temperature in
the shift-load cylinder falls below 50 °C for
24 hours, the cylinder is heated up to 70 °C
once.
▶Please note when drawing water that it
can be very hot.
▶If you want to switch off the "Anti-legionella function", you
should ask a competent person.
▶If you want to switch off cylinder charging, deactivate
Comfort mode "Switching Comfort mode on and off

Heating off.
3. Confirm by pressing .
◁Cylinder charging is switched off.
◁Only the frost protection function for the cylinder
remains active.
4.14 Guaranteeing the correct filling pressure of
the heating system
4.14.1 Checking the filling pressure of the heating
installation
Note
To ensure that the heating installation operates
smoothly, the filling pressure when the heating
installation is cold must be between 0.1 MPa and
0.2 MPa (1.0 bar and 2.0 bar) or lie between the
two dashed lines in the bar graph display.
If the heating installation extends over several
storeys, a higher filling pressure may be required
for the heating installation. Ask a competent per-
son for details.
In addition, the symbol appears after approx.
one minute.
If the filling pressure in the heating installation
falls below 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar), then the product
switches off. The display alternates between the
fault message F.22 and the current filling pres-
sure.
1. Press twice.
◁The values for the current filling pressure and for the
minimum and maximum filling pressures appear in
the display.
2. Check the filling pressure in the display.
1 / 2
System pressure: 0.1 … 0.2 MPa (1.0 … 2.0 bar)
The filling pressure is in the intended pressure range.
2 / 2
Filling pressure: < 0.08 MPa (< 0.80 bar)
▶Fill the heating installation. (→Page 10)
◁If you have topped up the installation with suf-
ficient heating water, the display automatically
disappears after 20 seconds.

5 Troubleshooting
10 Operating instructions ecoTEC plus 0020220342_01
4.14.2 Filling the heating installation
Caution.
Risk of material damage due to heating
water that is extremely calciferous or cor-
rosive or contaminated by chemicals.
Unsuitable tap water damages the seals
and diaphragms, blocks components in the
product and heating installation through
which the water flows and causes noise.
▶Only fill the heating installation with suit-
able heating water.
▶In case of doubt, ask a competent person
for details.
1. Ask a competent person where the filling cock is loc-
ated.
2. Connect the filling cock to a hot water supply in the way
you were told by the competent person.
3. Open all radiator valves (thermostatic radiator valves) of
the heating installation.
4. Open the hot water supply.
5. Turn the filling cock on slowly and allow water to flow in
until the required filling pressure has been reached.
6. Close the hot water supply.
7. Purge all radiators.
8. Check the filling pressure in the display.
9. Top up with more water if necessary.
10. Close the filling cock.
11. Return to the basic display. (→Page 7)
4.15 Protecting the heating installation against
frost
4.15.1 Frost protection function
Caution.
Risk of material damage due to frost.
The frost protection function cannot guaran-
tee flow through the entire heating installa-
tion, which means that parts of the heating
installation may freeze and therefore become
damaged.
▶During a period of frost, ensure that the
heating installation remains in operation
and that all rooms are sufficiently heated,
even when you are away.
Note
To keep the frost protection devices active, you
should switch your product on and off using the
controller, if one is provided.
If the heating flow temperature falls below 5 °C when the
on/off button is on, the product comes into operation and
heats the circulating water to approx. 30 °C on both the heat-
ing side and the hot water side (if available).
4.15.2 Draining the heating installation
When the unit is switched off for an extended period, frost
protection can be guaranteed by completely draining the
heating installation and the product.
▶Consult a competent person about this.
5 Troubleshooting
5.1 Detecting and rectifying faults
▶If faults occur, proceed in accordance with the table in
the appendix.
Troubleshooting (→Page 13)
▶If the fault cannot be eliminated using the specified
measures or if fault messages (F.xx) occur, contact a
competent person.
5.2 Calling up (Live monitor) status codes
▶Press and at the same time.
Status codes –Overview (→Page 12)
◁The current operating status (status code) is shown
on the display.
6 Care and maintenance
6.1 Maintenance
An annual inspection of the product carried out by a compet-
ent person is a prerequisite for ensuring that the product is
permanently ready and safe for operation, reliable, and has a
long working life.
6.2 Caring for the product
Caution.
Risk of material damage caused by un-
suitable cleaning agents.
▶Do not use sprays, scouring agents, de-
tergents, solvents or cleaning agents that
contain chlorine.
▶Clean the casing with a damp cloth and a little solvent-
free soap.
6.3 Reading maintenance messages
If the symbol is shown on the display, the product requires
maintenance work.
The product is not in fault mode but continues to operate.
▶Consult a competent person about this.
▶If the water pressure is flashing at the same time, simply
add more heating water.

Decommissioning 7
0020220342_01 ecoTEC plus Operating instructions 11
6.4 Checking the condensate drain pipework
and tundish
The condensate drain pipework and tundish must always be
penetrable.
▶Regularly check the condensate drain pipework and tun-
dish for faults and, particularly, for blockages.
You must not be able to see or feel any obstructions in the
condensate drain pipework and tundish.
▶If you notice a fault, have it rectified by a competent per-
son.
7 Decommissioning
7.1 Temporarily decommissioning the product
Caution.
Risk of material damage due to frost.
The frost protection and monitoring devices
are only active while the unit is connected
to the power mains and switched on via the
on/off button, and when the gas isolator cock
is open.
▶Temporarily decommission the product
only if no frost is expected.
▶Temporarily decommission the product only if no frost is
expected.
▶Press the on/off button.
◁The display goes out.
▶When decommissioning the product for a prolonged
period (e.g. holiday), close the gas isolator cock and also,
for combination products, the cold water stop valve.
7.2 Permanently decommissioning the product
▶Have a competent person permanently decommission
the product.
8 Recycling and disposal
▶The competent person who installed your product is re-
sponsible for the disposal of the packaging.
If the product is identified with this symbol:
▶In this case, do not dispose of the product with the
household waste.
▶Instead, hand in the product to a collection centre for old
electrical or electronic appliances.
If the product contains batteries that are marked with
this symbol, these batteries may contain substances that are
hazardous to human health and the environment.
