Draining the installation

It may become necessary to empty the water from the heating system

when the radiators have to be replaced, should there be a major water

leak or a risk of frost. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Open the valves on all radiators connected to the heating system.

2. Switch off the boiler electrical power supply.
3. Wait around 10 minutes until the radiators are cold.

4. Connect an evacuation hose to the plug located at the lowest

level. Place the end of the hose in a discharge sump or in a place

where the water discharged from the valve can not do any

damage.

5. Open the filling/draw-off valve on the heating system. Vent the

heating installation.

WARNING

The water may still be hot.

6. When no more water comes out of the drainage plug, close the

drainage valve.
