11.3 Checklist for yearly maintenance
of the outdoor unit
Check the following at least once a year:
▪ Heat exchanger
▪ Water pressure
▪ Water filter
▪ Water pressure relief valve
▪ Pressure relief valve of the domestic hot water tank
▪ Switch box
▪ Booster heater of the domestic hot water tank
Heat exchanger
The heat exchanger of the outdoor unit can get blocked up due to
dust, dirt, leaves, etc. It is recommended to clean the heat
exchanger yearly. A blocked heat exchanger can lead to too low
pressure or too high pressure leading to worse performance.
Water pressure
Check whether the water pressure is above 1 bar. If it is lower, add
water.
Water filter
Clean the water filter.
NOTICE
Handle the water filter with care. Do NOT use excessive
force when you reinsert the water filter so as NOT to
damage the water filter mesh.

Water pressure relief valve
Open the valve and check if it operates correctly. The water may be
very hot!
Checkpoints are:
▪ The water flow coming from the relief valve is high enough, no
blockage of the valve or in between piping is suspected.
▪ Dirty water coming out of the relief valve:
▪ open the valve until the discharged water does NOT contain dirt
anymore
▪ flush the system and install an additional water filter (a
magnetic cyclone filter is preferable).
To make sure this water originates from the tank, check after a tank
heat up cycle.
It is recommended to do this maintenance more frequently.

Switch box
▪ Carry out a thorough visual inspection of the switch box and look
for obvious defects such as loose connections or defective wiring.
If applicable, also inspect the switch box of the control box, option
box, and backup heater.
▪ Using an ohmmeter, check if contactors K1M, K2M, and K5M in
the switch box of the backup heater, and K3M in the switch box of
the control box (depending on your installation) operate correctly.
All contacts of these contactors must be in open position when the
power is turned OFF.
