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

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