Close the isolation valve [1].3. Open the drain cock [6] and the air vent [7].4. Allow the water to flow out into the drain.5. After emptying, return the valves to their initial positions.In order to allow emptying the valve [6] must be locatedat the lowest point on the tank.5 518104236755Central heating tankTo empty off the primary circuit:1. Switch off the electrical power supply to the tank.2. Connect a hose to the drain valve [4].3. Open the drain valve [4] and drain the hot water off.4. To speed up the process, open the air vent located on theupper part of the tank.5. When the emptying is finished, close the drain cock againthen screw the air valve up again.Periodical checks by the user• Check the pressure of the boiler’s pressure gauge: it shouldbe between 0.5 and 1.5 bar.• Carry out a monthly visual inspection of the valves,connections and accessories in order to detect any leaksor malfunctions.• Periodically check the air valve located on the upper part ofthe tank to make sure that it is not leaking.• If you notice anything unusual, contact a technician or yourheating engineer.annual serViceThe annual service, carried out by a technician, must includethe following:• Checking the air valve:The air bleed can lead to water being added to the system.Check the pressure on the boiler’s pressure gauge.• Manually activate the domestic hot water safety valve oncea year. This operation will lead to a discharge of hot water.Before drawing any hot water through the safety unit,make sure that the discharge goes directly to the drainin order to avoid any risk of burning or damage.• The discharge pipe should be open to the atmosphere.• If the safety unit occasionally “drips” this may be due to anexpansion problem or to clogging of the valve.• Follow the circulator’s maintenance instructions.• Check that the valves, cocks, controllers and any electricalaccessories installed are working properly (see themanufacturer’s instructions if necessary).emPtyingRecommendationsEmpty the tank if it is to be switched off for the winterand there is a risk of frost conditions exposure.If the central heating water (primary circuit) containsany antifreeze, only the domestic hot water should bedrained.Before draining off the domestic hot water, insulatethe tank to bring the central heating pressure (primarycircuit) down to 1 bar, in order to protect the tankagainst a risk of collapsing.If the central heating circuit does not contain anyantifreeze, both the central heating and hot watercircuits should be drained.27561 1481013 91 133111BE CAREFUL!Risk of scalding while emptying the tank.
