    Hi
    I have a De Dietrich MCR3 gas stove.
    Recently I noticed that the pressure on the stove was too low, so I turned on some water to raise it... and unfortunately I overfilled it. I have 3 now and would like to get them down to "normal". I looked in the manual and on the Internet and I still don't know how to do it.

    Can someone explain this to me like a 5 year old?
    Thanks

    During use, when the temperature and pressure increase, it will leak out of the safety valve, which you should check during the season.
    You can also pour out as much as you want with this valve, but I don't see the need (unless the boiler reports an excess on the computer ; and there's a huff).

    Of course, I have my furnace inspected once a year.
    But what bothers me is that I have a clue in the red area. Where exactly is this valve located - because I have several of them.

    If you added water to the central heating circuit, drain it using the valve in the central heating circuit.
    It's hard to guess what you have there, installation depends on the installer's imagination.
    Unless you want to take photos, then go ahead ;)

    If you cannot find the safety valve near the stove, you can release the water, for example, through the vent on one of the radiators. ;)

    If so, it's best to place it in the highest position, as some air will escape from the knife ;)

    Your smiles distract me... :)
    So it will be safest if I drain the water from one of the radiators?

    Come on, stop distracting yourself ;)
    It's so hard to find a safety valve in the central heating circuit? It's not an installation in the Palace of Culture and Science to get lost in the pipes. :D
    Finally, you can go to the furthest/highest radiator, fill your wife with a bowl of a few liters from the kitchen, and first pour 0.5L, sprint to the basement, check the pressure, repeat until you succeed - your private trainer recommends ;)

    Or maybe he will find a central heating system drain valve along the way? :D

    Why so modestly? immediately with 5 liters... if it is not enough, I will add water again :D

    I won't be far because I have an apartment. The stove in the bathroom is under the ceiling and the highest valve is in the ceiling (under the flap) - I also don't mind. I'll pour out 1 liter and we'll see

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around lowering the overfilled pressure in a De Dietrich MCR3 gas stove after the user inadvertently added too much water to the system. Participants suggest checking the safety valve, which can release excess water, and recommend draining water from the central heating circuit or a radiator. The location of the safety valve is emphasized as crucial, with advice to use the highest radiator for draining. The user is encouraged to monitor the pressure closely while adjusting the water levels to achieve normal operating conditions.
