❸ Maintenance

3.1 I Winterising

• Even though the appliance can be used year round, if it will not be used for the winter months,
a suitable winterising procedure must be implemented to prevent damage to the condenser.
Damage caused by improper winterising of the appliance when not in use is not covered by
the warranty.
• To prevent condensation from damaging the appliance: cover the appliance with the
winterising cover supplied (do not hermetically-seal the appliance inside a cover).
• Switch off the appliance by pressing and holding
• Open valve B (see § "1.2 I Hydraulic connections"),
• Close valves A and C and open valves D and E (if present, see § "1.2 I Hydraulic connections"),
• Make sure that there is no water circulating in the heat pump,
• Drain the water from the condenser (risk of freezing) by unscrewing the two water inlet and outlet connectors on the
back of the heat pump,
• In the case of full winterising for the pool (complete shutdown of the filtration system, bleed the filtration circuit
or even pool drainage): re-fit the two connectors by one turn to prevent any foreign bodies from getting into the
condenser,
• In the case of winterising the heat pump only (shutdown of the heating only, the filtration keeps running): do not re-fit
the connectors; instead add 2 caps (not provided) on the condenser's water inlet and outlet.
• We recommend that you put the aired winterising micro cover (provided) over the heat pump.
3.2 I Maintenance
• Before any maintenance work on the appliance, you must cut the electricity supply as there is
a risk of electric shock which may cause material damage, serious injury or even death.
• It is recommended that the appliance undergo general servicing at least on a yearly basis to
ensure its proper operation, maintain performance levels and prevent any possible failures.
These operations are carried out at the user's expense, by a qualified technician.
3.2.1 User maintenance
• Make sure that the ventilation grid is not blocked by any foreign bodies.
• Clean the evaporator (for location see § « 5.3 I Dimensions et repérage ») using a soft brush and a fresh water spray
(disconnect the power cable); do not fold over the metal wings, then clean the condensate drainage line to remove
any impurities that may be blocking it.
• Do not use a high pressure jet. Do not spray with rain water, salt water or water which is full of minerals.
• Clean the outside of the appliance using a solvent-free product; a specific "PAC NET" cleaning kit is available as an
accessory in the Zodiac® catalogue for this purpose (see § "5.1 I Description").
3.2.2 Maintenance to be carried out by a qualified technician
• Please read the safety instructions provided in the chapter entitled "Maintenance: warnings
concerning appliances containing refrigerant R32 (PM40 MD1, MD2, MD3, MD4, MD5, TD7 &
TD8)" (pages 4 to 8) before performing any of the maintenance operations described below.
• Check that the control system is operating correctly.
• Check that the condensates flow correctly when the appliance is in operation.
• Check the safety mechanisms.
• Check the connection of the metal masses to the earth.
• Check that the electrical cables are correctly tightened and connected and that the switch box is clean.
