5. Operacija
The Vaillant 061836 HW Heat Exchanger is a passive component within your boiler system. It does not have user-operable controls. Its operation is entirely dependent on the correct functioning of the main boiler unit.
Once correctly installed, the heat exchanger will automatically perform its function of transferring heat from the primary heating circuit to the domestic hot water circuit when there is a demand for hot water. Ensure your boiler is operating according to its own user manual to guarantee the heat exchanger functions optimally.
If you experience issues with hot water production after installation, refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual and the main boiler manual.
6. Priežiūra
