The pushbuttons are divided into three groups:

•Navigation buttons:

-Buttons for UP , and DOWN ;

-Enter: ;

-Reset button:

•the main menu (11 "Main menu"): ;

•the service program (12 "Service program"): . This chapter is specifically intended for the service and maintenance engineer and installation engineer.

In this manual, the display of the electronic controller is shown as in the figure, both with and without icons.

The ON/OFF switch of the electronic controller is used to switch the appliance ON and OFF. Note that in the OFF position the appliance remains electrically live, in order for the continuous pump to stay running.

INTERNAL CHECK

After switching on, the text INTERNAL CHECK appears on the display for about 10 seconds. Themain menu (11 "Main menu") then appears. If no selection is made in the main menu, the appliance automatically switches to the OFF mode (8.2 "Operating modes").
