INSTALLATION

10 Commissioning

10.1 filling the cylinder

Use the draw-off points to bleed the cylinder and water

pipes. Do not use the combined temperature/pressure

relief valve of the cylinder or the pressure relief valve

of the cold water safety assembly for bleeding, since

foreign bodies can contaminate or damage the valves.

• Make sure that the drain valve is closed.

• Open all of the draw-off points in the cold and hot water pipes.

• Open the water supply inlet to the cylinder and allow the water

to run until bubble-free water runs from all of the draw-off

points and the air is removed from the system.

• Close all of the draw-off points.

• Check the system for leaks. In particular, check the installed

electric immersion heater for leaks.

• Open two hot water draw-off points, one at the lowest point

and one at the highest point of the pipe system, and allow

water to run for at least 5 minutes.

• Close both of the hot water draw-off points.

• Dismantle the electric immersion heater cover.

You can set the hot water temperature by turning the knob with

the arrow pointing at the numbers 1 to 5. The following table

gives in indication of approximate hot water temperature for each

setting:

• Place the cylinder thermostat (1) and the electric immersion

heater thermostat (2) for start-up into the central position

(around 45°C) to achieve maximum energy efficiency.

We recommend the cylinder is set to 60 °C

periodically, to provide protection against the

proliferation of harmful bacteria.

• Place the gas-fired boiler into operation until the cylinder

reaches the operating temperature and all radiators in the

system are hot.

• Then drain the entire central heating system again to remove

any residue from the pipes.

• Fill and bleed the central heating system again as described in

the installation manual of the gas-fired boiler.
