Start-Up
7.1 General
To ensure that start-up is performed correctly, it should only be
carried out by an after-sales service technician authorised by the
manufacturer. This may be a condition for extending the guaran-
tee (see Warranty Service).
7.2 Preparation
The following items need to be checked prior to start-up:
The heat pump must be fully connected, as described in
Chapter 6.
All valves that could impair the proper flow of the heating
water in the heating circuit must be open.
The air intake and air outlet paths must be clear.
The ventilator must turn in the direction indicated by the ar-
row.
The settings of the heat pump controller must be adapted to
the heating system in accordance with the controller's oper-
ating instructions.
Ensure the condensate outflow functions properly.
7.3 Procedure
The heat pump is started up via the heat pump controller. Adjust-
ments should be made in compliance with the instructions.
Any faults occurring during operation are also displayed on the
heat pump controller and can be corrected as described in the
operating instructions of the heat pump controller.
At hot water temperatures under 7 °C, start-up is not possible.
The water in the buffer tank must be heated to a minimum of
18 °C with the second heat generator.
To ensure a problem-free start-up, the following procedure is to
be implemented:
1)
Close all consumer circuits.
2)
Ensure that the heat pump has the correct water flow rate.
3)
Use the controller to select the automatic operating mode.
4)
In the special functions menu, start the "Start-up" pro-
gramme.
5)
Wait until a return flow temperature of at least 25 °C has
been reached.
6)
Now slowly reopen the heating circuit valves in succession
so that the heating water flow is constantly raised by slightly
opening the respective heating circuit. The heating water
temperature in the buffer tank must not be allowed to drop
below 20 °C during this process. This ensures that the heat
pump can be defrosted at any time.
7)
When all heat circuits are fully open and a return flow tem-
perature of at least 18 °C is maintained, set a minimum vol-
ume flow quantity on the overflow valve (where present) and
on the heat circulating pump.

Maintenance / Cleaning
8.1 Maintenance
To protect the paintwork, avoid leaning anything against the de-
vice or putting objects on the device. External heat pump parts
can be wiped with a damp cloth and domestic cleaner.
ATTENTION!
Never use cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride as
these can damage the surfaces.
To prevent faults due to sediment in the heat exchanger of the
heat pump, ensure that the heat exchanger in the heating system
can not be contaminated. In the event that operating malfunc-
tions due to contamination still occur, the system should be clea-
ned as described below.
8.2 Cleaning the Heating System
The ingress of oxygen into the heating water circuit may result in
the formation of oxidation products (rust), particularly if steel
components are used. These products enter the heating system
via the valves, the circulating pumps and/or plastic pipes. It is
therefore essential - in particular with respect to the piping of un-
derfloor heating systems - that only diffusion-proof materials are
used.
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.
Residue from lubricants and sealants may also contaminate the
heating water.
In the case of severe contamination leading to a reduction in the
performance of the liquefier in the heat pump, the system must
be cleaned by a heating technician.
According to current information, we recommend using a 5%
phosphoric acid solution for cleaning purposes. However, if clea-
ning needs to be performed more frequently, a 5% formic acid
solution should be used.
In either case, the cleaning fluid should be at room temperature.
We recommend flushing the heat exchanger in the direction op-
posite to the normal flow direction.
To prevent acidic cleaning agents from entering the heating sys-
tem circuit, we recommend connecting the flushing device di-
rectly to the flow and return flow of the liquefier of the heat pump.
It is important that the system be thoroughly flushed using appro-
priate neutralising agents to prevent damage caused by cleaning
agent residue remaining in the system.
Acids must be used with great care and all relevant regulations of
the employers' liability insurance associations must be adhered
to.
If in doubt, contact the manufacturer of the chemicals!
