4.5 Turning on the antifreeze function
We recommend setting the boiler thermostat to a value off 10°C if
using a classic installation.
Define parameter p4 as 1 (energy-saving mode), the heat
retention function will be deactivated.
Installation and room antifreeze protection is guaranteed if you are
absent.
If the temperature of the central heating water in the boiler falls too
much, the integrated protection device switches itself on:
4If the water temperature is lower than 7°C, the circulating pump is
activated.
4If the water temperature is lower than 3°C, the boiler is activated.
4When the water temperature is above 10 °C, the boiler is switched
off and the circulation pump runs for another 15 minutes.
CAUTION
This function is a protection device for the boiler only, not
for the system or buiding fabric.
CAUTION
If a room thermostat, connected via connectors 7 and 8,
is activated, the boiler will operate permanently until it
reaches the flow setting point.

5 Checking and maintenance
5.1 General instructions
CAUTION
4An annual inspection is compulsory.
4We recommend taking out a maintenance contract.
4Maintenance operations must be done by a qualified
engineer.
4Only original spare parts must be used.
4Make certain that the flues and chimneys are
connected, in good condition and not blocked.
4Do not modify nor block the condensate outlet(s).
4If a neutralisation system is installed, follow the
instructions delivered with the neutralisation system
for cleaning and servicing of this system.
5.2 Periodic checks
4Check the water pressure in the installation. If the water pressure
is too low, add more water to the installation. ¼See chapter:
"Filling the system", page 20.
4Carry out a visual check for the presence of any water leaks.
4Open and close the radiator valves several times a year (this
prevents the valves from seizing up).
