thanks chaps--i wish i could explain that lot to my wife who has to approach the botch! man--he suggested we boost the power level to 4 on that strange dial and we are toasty on 2!
they have installed it with no timing device so i cant programme anything-just a single thermostat--i suspose you get what you pay for!!!--i have another thread rambling on a related thread to my new combi and consumption--whats a unit' or something like that --it rambles a bit but some saliant points are made reference consumption(and the state of the modern world)

Which model of Bosch combi? Then someone can tell you what the single dial actually controls (DHW temp?)-or you could just RTFM.
Crazy to install a modern boiler without a proper programmer and just with a room 'stat, the extra cost is not that much, get one retrofitted ASAP.
Presumably your genius installer did put TRV's on all the rads though?

let me explain --i am a brit in turkey living in a city that has just become connected to the gas network--it is the third largest city but has generally mild weather.-but you need a combi for 2 months of the year and water--before it was an oil boiler in a bedroom!!-they have just plumbed into the existing 20 year old system a new combi and moved it out onto the balcony-they are qualified but stoooopid!! no indivdual thermostates and a simple room stat--the model number escapes me at present but it has a large capacity because of the 2 bathrooms and 175m2 floor area of the flat--
