Appliance characteristics

Application

Your atmoCRAFT gas heating boiler provides heating 
for living or business rooms via a hot-water central 
heating system.
A storage tank is connected to your boiler for heating 
the hot water.
Various controllers are available as Vaillant accessories 
for comfortable adjustment of the heating and hot water 
functions of your boiler.

Description of the appliance

-  The especially efficient two-stage method of operation 

of the gas burner in the atmoCRAFT boilers ensures 
low switching frequency and high levels of standard 
efficiency.

-  Your boiler is fitted with a digital information and 

analysis system (DIA-System) for maintenance and 
service work by the heating engineer.
The status display provides information on the 
operational condition of your boiler. In the event of a 
fault, the display of diagnosis and fault codes assists 
your heating engineer in quickly finding the cause of 
the fault.
