5. Operating Instructions

The CALEFFI SATK20303 features an electronic controller for managing its functions. Once installed and powered, the unit is designed for automated operation based on demand for heating and domestic hot water.

• Power On: After successful installation, switch on the main power supply to the unit. The electronic controller will initiate its startup sequence.
• Heating Control: The heating function operates with ON/OFF control. The unit will respond to the demand from the heating system, typically regulated by a thermostat in the living space.
• Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Production: When a hot water tap is opened, the flow meter detects water flow, activating the DHW production. The unit prioritizes DHW production, ensuring hot water is supplied within the specified temperature range (42 – 60 °C). The preheating function for the DHW exchanger can be activated via the electronic controller for faster hot water availability.
• Temperature Adjustment: Refer to the electronic controller's specific interface for adjusting DHW temperature settings within the allowed range.

For detailed programming and advanced settings of the electronic controller, consult the dedicated controller manual provided with the product.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your CALEFFI SATK20303. All maintenance procedures should be performed by qualified service personnel.

• Annual Inspection: It is recommended to have the unit inspected annually by a qualified technician. This includes checking all connections, valves, and the heat exchanger for wear or blockages.
• Cleaning: Periodically check and clean any accessible filters to maintain optimal flow and efficiency.
• Pressure Check: Ensure the system pressure remains within the recommended operating range.
• Descaling: In areas with hard water, the DHW heat exchanger may require descaling to prevent efficiency loss. This should be performed by a professional.

Warning: Always disconnect the power supply to the unit before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
