1.1 Important Information

ATTENTION!
For devices with a refrigerant quantity of 6 kg or more, the refrigerating
circuit must be checked for leaks each year in compliance with regulation
(EC) No. 842/2006.
ATTENTION!
The device is not suitable for operation with a frequency converter.
ATTENTION!
When transporting the heat pump, ensure that it is not tilted more than
45° (in any direction).
ATTENTION!
The transport securing device is to be removed prior to commissioning.
ATTENTION!
Cleaning the condensate tray without dismantling the ventilator is only
possible if a distance of 0.4 m is observed on one side of the heat pump.
ATTENTION!
Ensure that there is a clockwise rotating field: Operating the compressor
in the wrong rotational direction could cause damage to the compressor.
ATTENTION!
Never use cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride as
these can damage the surfaces.
ATTENTION!
We recommend the installation of a suitable corrosion protection system
to prevent the formation of deposits (e.g. rust) in the condenser of the
heat pump.
ATTENTION!
Before opening the device, ensure that all circuits are isolated from the
power supply.
ATTENTION!
Any work on the heat pump may only be performed by authorised and
qualified after-sales service technicians.

1.2 Intended Use

This device is only intended for use as specified by the manufac-
turer. Any other use beyond that intended by the manufacturer is
prohibited. This requires the user to abide by the manufacturers
product information. Please refrain from tampering with or alter-
ing the device.
1.3 Legal Regulations and
Directives
The construction and design of the heat pump complies with all
relevant EU directives, DIN/VDE regulations (see CE declaration
of conformity).
When connecting the heat pump to the power supply, the rele-
vant VDE, EN and IEC standards are to be fulfilled. Any further
connection requirements stipulated by the network operators
must also be observed.
When connecting the heating system, all applicable regulations
must also be adhered to.
ATTENTION!
For devices with a refrigerant quantity of 6 kg or more, the refrigerating
circuit must be checked for leaks each year in compliance with regulation
(EC) No. 842/2006.
More information can be found in the chapter Maintenance /
Cleaning.
1.4 Energy-Efficient Use of the
Heat Pump
With the purchase of this heat pump you are helping to protect
the environment. A prerequisite for energy-efficient operation is
the correct design of the heat source system and heating system.
It is particularly important for the efficiency of a heat pump to
keep the temperature difference between heating water and heat
source as small as possible. For this reason, it is advisable to de-
sign the heat source and heating system very carefully. A tem-
perature difference of approx. one Kelvin increases the
power consumption by around 2.5%. When designing the he-
ating system, it should be borne in mind that special consumers
such as e.g. domestic hot water preparation should also be taken
into consideration and dimensioned for low temperatures. Un-
derfloor heating systems (panel heating) are optimally suited
for heat pump use on account of the low flow temperatures
(30 °C to 40 °C).
It is important to ensure that the heat exchangers are not conta-
minated during operation because this increases the tempera-
ture difference, in turn reducing the COP.
Correct adjustment of the heat pump controller is also important
for energy-efficient use of the heat pump. Further information can
be found in the operating instructions of the heat pump controller.
