> Refill the heating system with water, as described in
(¬section10.7).
> Check that the expansion relief valve of the heating sys-
tem is functioning correctly by turning the handle on the
valve.
> Check the pressure in the heating system and top up
with water if necessary.
> Close the filling valve and the cold water valve.
10.8 Avoiding low water pressure
To prevent damage to the heating installation caused by
low water pressure, the ecoTEC plus is fitted with a water
pressure sensor.
If the water pressure falls below 0.08MPa (0.8 bar), the
boiler indicates low pressure by displaying a flashing pres-
sure value.
If the water pressure falls below 0.05MPa (0.5bar), the
boiler switches off.
The fault message F.22 appears in the display.
> Top up the water and switch the boiler on again.
A flashing pressure value appears on the display until a
pressure of 1.1 bar or higher has been reached.
i
If you notice frequent drops in pressure, then
determine and eliminate the cause, i.e water
leaks in the system. Failure to do so along with
frequent topping up will result in system corro-
sion and subsequent failures.

10.3 Filling the VUW boiler using a filling device
The VUW boilers are equipped with a filling device.
> Insert the double non-return valve (1) of the filling line
into the cold water stop valve and secure the valve with
the spring clip (2).
> To fill, first open the stop valve (3).
> Open the stop valve (4) so that the water flows into the
heating system. Fill the heating system as described in
¬section10.7.
> After filling, close both stop valves and disconnect the
filling device by pulling the double non-return valve from
the cold water stop valve.
i
Both stop valves must be closed during the
operation of the heating system and the filling
line must be removed from the double non-
return valve again.
10.9 Fill and purge the hot water system
> Open the cold water stop valve on the boiler (only for
VUW boilers).
> Fill the hot water system by opening all the hot water
draw-off points until water comes out.
As soon as water comes out of all the hot water draw-off
points, the hot water circuit is filled completely and also
purged.
10.10 Filling the condensate siphon
a
Danger!
Risk of poisoning from escaping flue gas!
An empty or insufficiently filled condensate
siphon may allow flue gas to escape into
the room air.
> Fill the condensate siphon with water
before starting up the boiler.
