10 Taking out of service
10.1 Temporary shutdown
If no heating and no hot water supply is needed over a long period, the oil condensing boiler can be temporarily shut down. ROTEX,
however, recommends putting the system on Standby mode (see Documentation "ROTEX Control"). The heating system is then
protected from frost. The pumps and valve protection functions are active.
If it is not possible to guarantee the oil and power supply when there is danger of frost,
– the oil condensing boiler must be drained,
– the condensate treatment unit must be drained,
– suitable antifreeze measures must be taken for the connected heating system and hot water storage tank (e.g. draining).
Draining the heating system
• Switch off the main switch and secure against restarting.
• Close the stop valve on the oil filter.
• Bleed all the water in the entire system at the filling and draining sockets (KFE cock).
10.2 Final shutdown and disposal
For final shutdown, the oil condensing boiler must be
• taken out of service,
• disconnected from all electrical, oil and water connections,
• disposed off in a professional manner.
Recommendations for disposal
The ROTEX oil condensing boilers are designed to be environmentally friendly. During the disposal process, the only waste
accrued is that which can be used for material or thermal recycling. The materials used can be separated into different types.
CAUTION!
A heating system which is shut down can freeze in the event of frost and may suffer damage.
• Drain the heating system that is shut down if there is danger of frost.
• If the heating system is not drained and there is the risk of frost, the oil and power supplies must be secured
and the main switch must remain switched on.
Through the environmentally-friendly design of the oil condensing boiler, ROTEX has complied with the
requirements for environmentally-friendly disposal. Proper disposal in compliance with the respective national
regulations of the country of use is the responsibility of the user/owner.
