9.1.1 Checking the safety valve

f For safety reasons, check the safety valve twice a year. f
f Remove the cap. Turn the bleed cap 2 to 3 times anti-clock- f
wise. Water should then drain into the tundish.
f Draw off hot water until the heater of the DHW cylinder f
switches on.
During the heat-up process, expansion water will drip from the
1
safety valve into the tundish.
f Check the function of the non-return valve if no water drips f
during heat-up.
No water must drip out after heat-up has been completed.
f Should water nevertheless drip after heat-up, clean the safe- f
ty valve and check the water inlet pressure.
f KV 30 | KV 307: If necessary, install a pressure reducing valve. f
KV 40: Check the function of the pressure reducing valve. If
necessary, clean or replace the pressure reducing valve.
9.1.2 Removing / cleaning the safety valve
f Isolate the DHW cylinder from the power supply. f
f Remove the cap from the shut-off valve. Turn the shut-off f
valve clockwise to shut off the cold water inlet.
f Drain the DHW cylinder. f
f Undo the safety valve. f
f Clean the seat and gasket of the safety valve. f
