4.5   PROLONGED PERIODS OF DISUSE
When the appliance is to be inactive for a long period, it is necessary to disconnect the 
appliance before the period of disuse and reconnect it before it is used again.
To  carry  out  these  operations,  contact  a  reputable  hydraulic  system  installation 
technician.
Disconnecting the appliance
You will need: the appliance connected to the power/gas supply. Necessary equip ment 
and materials.
 If the appliance is in operation, switch it off with the CCP (if present) or DDC (if 1. 
present), or the consent switch and wait for the shutdown cycle to terminate com-
pletely (approximately 7 minutes).
 Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, putting the external disconnec-2. 
tion switch in the OFF position (see GS in Figure 6.6 Electrical wiring diagram → 50) 
provided in the appropriate panel by the installation technician.
 Close the gas valve.3. 
Do not leave the appliance connected to power and gas supply if it is expected to remain 
inactive for a long period.
If you wish to disconnect the appliance during the winter, one of the following two con-
ditions must be met:
 make sure that the hydraulic plant connected to the  appliance contains an ad-1. 
equate percentage of glycol antifreeze (see Paragraph 5.6 FILLING OF HYDRAULIC 
CIRCUIT → 34 and Table 5.3 Technical data for filling the hydraulic circuit → 36);
 activate the antifreeze function, which runs the circulation pumps and the appli-2. 
ance when water temperature is below 4°C or in case the outdoor temperature is 
lower than 2 °C. To do this, contact your installer. This function requires the appli-
ance to be ALWAYS powered up (electricity and gas) and power failures excluded. 
Otherwise the manufacturer declines all contractual and extra-contractual li-
ability for consequent damage.
Connecting the appliance before it is used again (to be carried out by the instal ler)
Before starting this procedure, the hydraulic system installation technician must:
 ascertain  whether  the  appliance  requires  any  maintenance  operations  (con-•
tact your authorised Robur Technical Assistance Centre or consult Paragraph 7.2 
MAINTENANCE → 77);
 check that the water content of the plant is correct;  if necessary, top up the cir-•
cuit to at least the minimum quantity (see Paragraph 5.6 FILLING OF HYDRAULIC 
CIRCUIT → 34);
 if necessary add, to the water of the system (free of impurities), inhibited monoeth-•
ylene glycol antifreeze in a quantity in proportion to the MINIMUM winter temper-
ature in the area of installation (see Table 5.3 Technical data for filling the hydraulic 
circuit → 36);
 bring the plant to the correct pressure, making sure that the pressure of the water •
in the plant is not less than 1 bar and not over 2 bar;
