Safety considerations
The precautions listed here are divided into the following four types.
They all cover very important topics, so be sure to follow them
carefully.
Danger
■
Do not touch water pipes during and immediately after operation
as the pipes may be hot. Your hand may suffer burns. To avoid
injury, give the piping time to return to normal temperature or be
sure to wear proper gloves.
■
Do not touch any switch with wet fingers. Touching a switch with
wet fingers can cause electrical shock.
Warning
■
Never directly touch any accidental leaking refrigerant. This
could result in severe wounds caused by frostbite.
■
Do not touch the refrigerant pipes during and immediately after
operation as the refrigerant pipes may be hot or cold, depending
on the condition of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant
piping, compressor, and other refrigerant cycle parts. Your
hands may suffer burns or frostbite if you touch the refrigerant
pipes. To avoid injury, give the pipes time to return to normal
temperature or, if you must touch them, be sure to wear proper
gloves.

NTRODUCTION
The heat pump system is designed to provide you a comfortable
indoor climate for many years at low energy consumption.
To get the most comfort with the lowest energy consumption out of
your system, it is very important to observe the items listed below.
Defining possible schedule timer actions for each day and filling out
the form at the very end of this manual can help you minimize the
energy consumption. Ask your installer for support if required.
■
Make sure the heat pump system works at the lowest possible
hot water temperature required to heat your house.
To optimize this, make sure the weather dependent set point is
used and configured to match the installation environment.
Refer to
■
It is advised to install the room thermostat connected to the
indoor unit. This will prevent excessive space heating and will
stop the outdoor unit and the indoor circulation pump when the
room temperature is above the thermostat set point.
■
Next recommendations only apply to installations with an
optional domestic hot water tank.
■
Make sure the domestic hot water is only heated up to the
domestic hot water temperature you require.
Start with a low domestic hot water temperature set point
(e.g. 45°C), and only increase if you feel that the domestic
hot water supply temperature is not sufficient.
■
Make sure the domestic water heating by booster heater only
start 1 to 2 hours before you expect domestic hot water
usage.
In case you only need a lot of domestic hot water in the
evening or in the morning, only allow domestic water heating
by booster heater during early morning and early evening.
Also keep hours with low electricity cost tariffs in mind.
To do this, program both the domestic water heating and
booster heating schedule timer. Refer to Programming in
chapter
"Programming and consulting the schedule timer" on
■
If the domestic hot water is not used for two weeks or more, a
quantity of hydrogen gas which is highly flammable may
accumulate in the domestic hot water tank. To dissipate this
gas safely, it is recommended that a hot tap be turned on for
several minutes at a sink, basin, or bath, but not at a
dishwasher, clothes washer or other appliance. During this
procedure there must be no smoking, open flame or any
electrical appliance operating nearby. If hydrogen is
discharged through the tap, it will probably make a sound as
of air escaping.
