8.3 Symptom: You are feeling too cold
(hot) in your living room
Possible cause
The desired room temperature is
too low (high).
The desired room temperature
cannot be reached.
The weather-dependent curve is
set incorrectly.
8.4 Symptom: The water at the tap is
too cold
Possible cause
You ran out of domestic hot
water because of unusual high
consumption.
The desired storage tank
temperature is too low.

Symptom: Heat pump failure

When the heat pump fails to operate, the backup heater or boiler can
serve as an emergency heater. It then takes over the heat load
either automatically or by manual interaction.
▪ When Emergency is set to Automatic and a heat pump failure
occurs, the backup heater or boiler automatically takes over the
domestic hot water production and space heating.
▪ When Emergency is set to Manual and a heat pump failure
occurs, the domestic hot water heating and space heating stops.
To manually recover it via the user interface, go to the
Malfunctioning main menu screen and confirm whether the
backup heater can take over the heat load or not.

If the problem recurs daily, do
one of the following:
▪ Increase (decrease) the room
temperature preset value. See
the user reference guide.
▪ Adjust the room temperature
schedule. See "5.8 Schedule
Example" [ 4 14].

Powerful operation. However,
this consumes extra energy. See
"5.7.3 Using DHW powerful
operation" [ 4 13].
If the problems recurs daily, do

▪ Adjust the storage tank
temperature schedule. See
"5.8 Schedule screen:
Example" [ 4 14].
▪ Alternatively, when Emergency is set to:
▪ auto SH reduced/DHW

▪ auto SH reduced/DHW off, space heating is reduced and
domestic hot water is NOT available.
▪ auto SH normal/DHW

interface.
Possible cause
Heat pump is damaged.
INFORMATION
When the backup heater takes over the heat load,
electricity consumption will be considerably higher.
8.6 Symptom: The system is making
gurgling noises after
commissioning
Possible cause
There is air in the system.
Incorrect hydraulic balance.
Various malfunctions.
(a)
We recommend to purge air with the air purge function of the unit
(to be performed by the installer). If you purge air from the heat
emitters or collectors, mind the following:
WARNING
Air purging heat emitters or collectors. Before you
purge air from heat emitters or collectors, check if
is displayed on the home screen of the user interface.
▪ If not, you can purge air immediately.
▪ If yes, make sure that the room where you want to
purge air is sufficiently ventilated. Reason: Refrigerant
might leak into the water circuit, and subsequently into
the room when you purge air from the heat emitters or
collectors.

in case of a malfunction" [ 4 18].
Corrective action
(a)
Purge air from the system.
To be performed by the installer:
1 Perform hydraulic balancing
to assure that the flow is
correctly distributed
between the emitters.
2 If hydraulic balancing is not
sufficient, change the pump
limitation settings ([9-0D]
and [9-0E] if applicable).
Check if or is displayed
