• The stop cocks in the heating flow and return (2 and
4) and the gas stop-cock (1) must be open. These stop-
cocks are open if the slot for the screwdriver is paral-
lel to the piping run.
• The cold water stop cock (2) must be open. In order to
check this you can open a hot water tap at a draw-off
point and see if water flows out.

Fig. 4.4 Checking the filling pressure of the heating system
• Check the filling pressure of the system using the
pressure gauge (1) before putting it into operation.
For the heating system to operate properly, the indica-
tor on the pressure gauge must be in the dark grey zone
when the system is cold. This corresponds to a filling
pressure between 1.0 and 2.0 bar. If the indicator is in
the light grey area (below 0.8 bar), fill the system up
with water before putting it into operation.
h
Note!
The ecoTEC appliances come with a manometer
and a digital pressure indicator.
The manometer allows you to quickly check
whether the filling pressure is in target range
or not even when the appliance is turned off.
When the unit is in operation, you can have the
exact pressure shown in the display. Activate
the pressure display by pressing the "-” button
(2). After 3 seconds the display returns to the
feed temperature.

Note!
Note: To avoid running the system with too litt-
le water and thus prevent damage, your appli-
ance has a pressure sensor. This signals the
low pressure level if the level falls below
0.6 bar by the water pressure value in the dis-
play flashing.
If the pressure falls below 0.3 bar the unit swit-
ches off. The error message F.22 appears in
the display. Fill the system up with water be-
fore you start up the appliance again.
If the heating system extends over several storeys, the
system may require a higher filling pressure. Ask your
engineer for details.
