Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I fill the boiler?ⓘ

Shut the cold water intake's outlet valve by setting its lever horizontal, switch the power on at the control panel, then open a tap and leave it running until the air's been pushed out and water starts flowing, then close the tap again.

Q: How do I empty the boiler?ⓘ

Switch off the power at the control panel, open the kitchen and bathroom taps, then open the boiler's own outlet valve by setting its lever vertical and let it drain straight outside.
