there are many complexities around linking a boiler stove into another scheme- will you have MVHR, will you be cooking on gas or electric/ do you want an extractor fan, and how big a hot tank have you room for? Even if you're only thinking about it, you better look at these things in advance. You may need e.g. a mains water supply going to stove for overheat protection etc etc
MLCP fittings seal on the inside of the pipe don't they? I'd be tempted to fashion something up to put a crimp on the external sleeve- a U-bolt tightened down on it a couple of times maybe?
Defrost gets a whole section to itself within the engineer's menu. I found it was a bit aggressive for our location so have shortened the duration and extended the minimum time between defrosts. Plus the ambient sensor was a bit too close to the evaporator which didn't help...
Don't think I've seen this posted before- it's a more full and descriptive guide to the settings on the Carel
