1 Frost protection
The water supply is protected from frost damage whenever
the VEN unit is connected to the power supply. For this reason,
it is important not to unplug the appliance from the mains or
disconnect it at the circuit breakers when there is a danger of
frost.
2 Warm
For reasons of hygiene, this setting (which corresponds to
about 40 °C) should only be used in special circumstances.
3 ”E”
This is the recommended setting (the control knob can be felt
to click into position) for normal hot-water needs (corresponds
to about 60 °C).
4Hot
This setting should normally be used only for special hot-water
requirements of brief duration (corresponds to about 85 °C).
For reasons of economy and hygiene (e.g. the danger of
Legionnaire’s disease), you are recommended to keep
the water-temperature adjusted to 60 °C (setting “E”).
The VEN electric storage water heater functions with
particular efficiency at this temperature, in full
conformity with the energy saving regulations. Furring is
also kept to a minimum. For this reason – and especially
if the appliance is installed in a hard-water area – the
energy-saving “E” setting should only ever be exceeded
for special needs and for the briefest time possible.
3.2 Energy-saving tips
Follow the advice given below and help to save energy.
Some useful tips:
● Always set the temperature to the level you actually
need. We recommend operating the appliance at
temperature-selector setting “E”. In most operating
circumstances, there is no need to carry out any
further adjustment to the valve assembly. When
opening the valve, merely adjust it to the maximum
hot-water setting.
Danger!
After drawing off any extra-hot water you
may require, do not forget to readjust the
system to its lower setting. Note also that if
the water-temperature is too high, the
following users are in danger of suffering
scald injuries and the appliance uses an
unnecessarily excessive amount of energy.
