Operating Your Menred Underfloor Heating System in Winter

1.Pre-Winter System Check

• Inspect the system for leaks or damage, especially the manifolds and pipes.
• Test the thermostat functionality to ensure accurate temperature control.

2.Setting the Ideal Temperature

• Use your Menred room thermostat to set a comfortable floor temperature (typically 20°C-27°C) and maintain an ambient air temperature between 18°C and 22°C.
• Take advantage of the programmable features to heat rooms only when needed, saving energy.

3.Gradual Heating

• Avoid setting the thermostat to the maximum right away. Gradually increase the temperature to prevent thermal stress on the pipes and flooring materials.

4.Energy Optimization

• Use zoning with the Menred manifold system to heat only occupied areas, reducing energy waste.
• Leverage night setbacks or vacation modes on the thermostat when rooms are unoccupied.

Routine Maintenance for Menred Underfloor Heating Systems

To ensure smooth and efficient operation, regular maintenance is essential.

Manifold Maintenance

1.Check and clean the valves to avoid blockages.

2.Inspect for leaks or corrosion; address issues immediately.

Pipe Inspection

1.Look for visible signs of wear or damage.

2.Use flushing equipment periodically to clear sediment buildup, ensuring efficient heat transfer.

Thermostat Check

1.Calibrate the thermostat to ensure accurate temperature readings.

2.Replace batteries in wireless models if needed.

Professional Servicing

1.Schedule an annual inspection with a certified technician to check the overall system, ensuring all components work efficiently.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue: Uneven heating across rooms.

Solution: Adjust the balancing valves on the manifold for uniform water flow.

Issue: Slow system response.

Solution: Increase flow rates or check for blockages in pipes.

Issue: Thermostat not responding.

Solution: Check the power supply, replace batteries, or reset the device.
