Check the level of the heating fluid regularly on the compensator reservoir.
During or after the first operating hours of the hot-water heater, the filling
level may fall below the minimum mark. If this is the case, top up the
heating fluid.
We recommend to bleed the heating system after the initial heater opera-
tion and to check the glycol content.
Have heating fluid changed by an authorised dealer or a service centre at
intervals of approximately two years as corrosion-protection wears off after
some time.
Top up heating system with a water-glycol mixture (60 : 40) only. This mix-
ture offers frost protection up to approx. -25 °C.
Further information can be obtained in the manufacturer's instruction
manual.
