Remember to consider your energy consumption when choosing a mode.
Adjusting Temperature Settings
The AEG 7000 Series Kombi allows precise temperature control for both heating and hot water. Use the control panel’s intuitive interface to set desired temperatures in increments of 0.5°C. For heating, a typical comfortable range is between 20°C and 24°C, but adjust to your preference. Hot water temperature can be set between 40°C and 60°C, balancing comfort with energy efficiency.
Consider using the scheduling function to automatically adjust temperatures throughout the day. Lower temperatures during sleep or when away from home to save energy. The system remembers your settings, providing consistent comfort. Monitor your energy usage and adjust temperatures accordingly to optimize efficiency and reduce costs. Always prioritize safety and avoid excessively high temperatures.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Regular upkeep ensures optimal performance and longevity of your AEG 7000 Series Kombi. Address issues promptly using the troubleshooting guide within this manual.
Regular Maintenance Tasks (Descaling, Filter Cleaning)
Maintaining your AEG 7000 Series Kombi requires consistent attention to descaling and filter cleaning. Hard water buildup can significantly reduce efficiency and lifespan; therefore, descaling should be performed every 6-12 months, depending on water hardness. Utilize a commercially available descaling solution specifically designed for combi units, following the product instructions carefully.
Filter cleaning is equally crucial. Regularly inspect and clean the inlet filter to prevent debris from entering the system, potentially causing blockages or damage. The frequency depends on water quality, but a monthly check is recommended. Additionally, clean any hot water filters as outlined in the system’s detailed instructions. Proper maintenance ensures optimal performance and prevents costly repairs, extending the life of your AEG 7000 Series Kombi.
Troubleshooting Common Issues (Error Codes, No Hot Water)
Encountering issues with your AEG 7000 Series Kombi? Several common problems have straightforward solutions. If you receive an error code, consult the detailed error code list in the appendix of this manual for specific troubleshooting steps. A frequent issue is no hot water; first, verify the heating mode is correctly selected on the control panel.
Check the water supply and ensure the unit isn’t in a lockout mode due to low pressure. If problems persist, a reset of the system may resolve the issue. For more complex problems, like recurring error codes or persistent lack of heating, contact a qualified technician. Do not attempt repairs yourself, as this could void the warranty and pose a safety risk.
Winterization Procedures
Preparing your AEG 7000 Series Kombi for freezing temperatures is crucial to prevent damage. Before prolonged periods of sub-freezing weather, especially if the unit will be unused, drain the system. Begin by shutting off the water supply and relieving pressure. Locate the drain valve – typically near the pump – and open it to completely empty the water from the unit and connected pipes.
Consider adding antifreeze specifically designed for combi boilers to the system for added protection. Important: Ensure the antifreeze is compatible with your unit’s materials. After draining, power off the Kombi. Regularly inspect pipes and connections for leaks during the winter months. Proper winterization safeguards against costly repairs and ensures reliable operation when you need it most.
