7 Tips on saving energy

• Regulate the temperature in adjacent rooms via thermostatic

valves.

• External heat in the room where th FR 10 is installed (e.g. solar

gain, stove etc.) can result in too little heating in adjacent

rooms (the heating system remains cold).

• Much energy can be saved by reducing the room temperature

via economy phases. Reducing the room temperature by

1 K ( °C) enables up to 5% energy to be saved.

It is not recommended to let the room temperature of heated

rooms fall below +15 °C during the daytime, otherwise the

cooled-down walls continue to radiate cold and the room tem-

perature rises higher, leading to higher energy consumption

than if an even heat supply is applied.

• Good thermal insulation of the building: The set temperature

for Economy or Frost is never reached. Nevertheless

energy is being saved as the heating system stays off.In that

case, switch sooner to the lower operating mode.

• Don't keep windows slightly open for ventilation. This leads to

a constant extraction of heat from the room without noticeably

improving the ambient air in the room.

• Vent briefly but intensively (open window fully).

• During venting shut off thermostatic valves fully or switch the

operating mode to Frost.
