Holiday - Boiler Mate

[Shirley RA107]

I have a boiler mate gledhill intergrated thermal storage upstairs and a boiler downstairs which i can control the temp of the water.
When i go on holiday do i turn the temperature of the water down to minimum or just to mid way!?
First time i've gone away since i've had this boiler and the books don't really say alot!
Any help much appreciated!

If it's summer and you don't mind no hot water immediately available when you get back, probably best to turn off the whole system at the programmer or, failing that, the main heating on/off switch (usually near the boiler.

There's no benefit at all turning the boiler half-way down: the way a heatstore such as the Boilermate works, it needs to be HOT. With the boiler half-off, the Boilermate will never reach it's set temperature and will keep on calling for heat. The boiler will cycle on and off all day, every day.
