Maintenance
To protect the paintwork, avoid leaning or putting objects on the shell. Heat pump parts can be wiped with a damp cloth
and domestic cleaner. (Warning: Never use cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride as these can
damage the surfaces.)
To prevent clogging in the titanium heat exchanger, ensure that the system incorporates a water and filter treatment
equipment. In the event of a problem occurring due to contamination, the system should be cleaned as described
below. (Warning: the fins on the finned tube heat exchanger are sharp!).
Cleaning the Heat Exchanger and Pipework
Contamination in the pipes and heat exchanger can reduce the performance of the Heat pump. If this is the case, the
pipe system and heat exchanger must be cleaned by a technician. Use only pressurized drinking water for cleaning.
Cleaning the air system
The finned heat exchanger, fan and condenser outflow should be clear of all obstructions (leaves, twigs, etc.) before
each new heating season. These can be manually removed using compressed air or by flushing with clean water.
It may be necessary to remove the unit cover and air inlet grid first.
Warning: Before opening the unit, ensure that all electrical supplies are protected from human access.
To prevent the evaporator and the condenser tray from being damaged, do not use hard or sharp objects for cleaning.
Under extreme weather conditions (e.g. snow drifts), ice may form on the air intake and exhaust air outlet grids.
If this happens, the ice must be removed in the vicinity of the air intake and exhaust air outlet grids to ensure that
the minimum air flow rate is maintained.
Winter Shutdown
To prevent frost damage to the unit when not in use the Heat pump should be drained of all water. If the Heat pump
cannot be winterized, another form of frost protection should be considered.
Warning: The warranty does not cover damage caused by inadequate frost protection measures during the winter.
