This document provides operating instructions for the Vaillant ecoTEC plus VU and VUW series, which are gas-fired wall-hung boilers designed for heating installations and, in the case of VUW models, for hot water generation. The manual is intended for the operator, detailing how to safely and efficiently use and maintain the product.
The ecoTEC plus series functions primarily as a heat generator for closed heating systems. VUW models additionally provide hot water generation. The product operates by burning gas to heat water, which then circulates through the heating system or is supplied as domestic hot water.
The device features an operator control panel with a display and various buttons for interaction. The display shows critical information such as the current heating flow temperature, system filling pressure, operating mode, and any fault codes. Symbols on the display indicate the current status, including:
The product incorporates safety features such as an automatic anti-legionella function for shift-load cylinders, which heats the cylinder to 70 °C if the temperature falls below 50 °C for 24 hours. Frost protection is also integrated, activating automatically to heat circulating water to approximately 30 °C if the heating flow temperature drops below 5 °C, provided the product is switched on and connected to power.
The ecoTEC plus offers a user-friendly operating concept with two main operating levels: an operator level for general use and a protected competent person level for advanced settings.
