Maintenance operations are important for the following reasons:
To guarantee optimum performance.
To extend the life of the equipment.
To provide an installation which offers the user optimum comfort over
time.
Caution

Danger
Before any work, switch off the mains electricity to the heat pump
and the hydraulic or electrical back-up if connected.

compressor and the pipes can reach temperatures in excess of
100°C and high pressures, which may cause serious injuries.

Do not drain the installation, except in cases of absolute necessi­
ty. E.g.: several months' absence with the risk of temperatures in
the building falling below freezing.
