The boiler will automatically empty itself via a safety or outlet valve if there is danger of frost (see also 10-13 Frost Control). Position of the Frost Control valve The Frost Control valve is always located directly by the model-specific place of installation for the hot-air heating system. The non-electric safety or drain valve will automatically open at temperatures under approx. 3°C and drain the boiler contents via a drain nozzle. If the cold water system is operated without the boiler the boiler tank will still fill with water. In order to avoid frost damage the boiler must be drained via the drain valve, even when not in use.
