Pre-Set Programmes
The programmer comes with pre-programmed settings for Central Heating and Domestic Hot Water.
Central Heating
The timer is pre-programmed with 3 'on' and 3 'off' times, set the same for each day. Note: The second 'on/off' time will not allow the boiler to fire.
- On: 6:30 - 8:30
- On: 12:00 - 12:00 (This period will not fire the boiler)
- On: 16:30 - 22:30
Domestic Hot Water (ECO/Comfort)
The timer has a function to pre-heat the domestic hot water, keeping it at a set temperature. It is pre-programmed with 1 'on' and 'off' time, set the same for each day.
- On: 6:30 - 22:30
If these pre-set times are suitable, no further programming is required for Central Heating and Domestic Hot Water comfort.
