Maintenance
Your heat pump requires a minimum of maintenance, however, we still
recommend some servicing to get optimal performance from your heat
pump. Check the following items a few times during the fi rst year. You
should then check them once or twice a year:
Remove dirt and leaves
Particle filter
Protective covers
Evaporator
Unscrew the protective covers
You must unscrew the outer covers to access some of the maintenance
areas.
To remove the covers from the heat pump:
1. Turn the screws on top of the heat pump a few turns.
2. Rest the cover against your body.
3. Lift the cover upwards to release the lower edge.
Remove dirt and leaves
Over time leaves and other dirt can enter the heat pump. You can easily
remove any dirt through the inspection hatch on the side of the heat pump.
Unscrew the left side plate (seen from the front) and use a brush to remove
the dirt. Check that the drainage hole is not blocked. Exercise care around
the thin aluminium fi ns as they are fragile. We recommend the use of a
watering can with rose attachment to wash the aluminium fi ns. Don't use a
power washer or brush.
The plate and drainage hole can be rinsed with water if necessary.
Protective covers
Over time dust and other dirt will collect on the heat pump. You should
wipe the outside with a damp cloth if necessary. Scratches and damage to
the outer plates should be touched up using an anti corrosive rust-inhibitor.
Use normal car polish to protect the paint.
For reasons of safety the main power
supply must be disconnected before
working on the heat pump.
Only an accredited refrigeration
company is permitted to work on the
refrigerant circuit.
Remove the covers by loosening the
