Starting the water heater

70

Instruction manual SGS

gis

When the water heater starts, it will run through the 
following steps:
1. The water temperature drops below the set 

temperature of (for example) 

65

°C. The controller 

detects a heat demand and starts the operating 
cycle.
-

The icon   is activated.

-

The message 

HEAT DEMAND

 appears.

2. Once demand is registered, the fan is started to 

vent any gases that may be present. This phase is 
called pre-purge and lasts about 15 seconds.
-

The icon   is activated.

-

The message 

PRE PURGE

 appears.

3. During the pre-purge, the pressure switch closes.

-

The icon   is activated.

-

The message 

PRESSURE SWITCH

 

appears.

4. This is then followed by the (pre-)glow of the hot 

surface igniter.
-

The icons   and   are dimmed

-

The icon   is activated.

5. After a number of seconds pre-glow, the gas 

control valve is opened and ignition takes place.
-

The icon   is activated.

-

The message 

IGNITION

 appears.

6. After ignition, the flame is detected and the 

appliance will be running. This means that actual 
heating has started:
-

The icon   is dimmed.

-

The icon   is activated.

-

The message 

RUNNING

 appears.

7. When the water is up to temperature, the heat 

demand ceases and the post-purge starts. This 
takes about 25 seconds.
-

The icons  ,   and   are dimmed.

-

The icon   is activated.

-

The message 

POST PURGE

 appears.

8. Following the post-purge, the fan stops and the 

pressure switch opens:
-

The icons   and   are dimmed.

-

The message 

POST PURGE

 vanishes.

With any subsequent heat demand, the heating cycle 
will resume from step 1.
