▪ Zn-coated parts. Never use zinc coated parts in the water circuit. Because the
internal water circuit of the unit uses copper piping, excessive corrosion may
occur.
▪ Non-brass metallic piping. When using non-brass metallic piping, insulate the
brass and non-brass properly so that they do NOT make contact with each other.
This to prevent galvanic corrosion.
▪ Valve – Change‑over time. When using a 2-way valve or a 3-way valve in the
water circuit, the maximum change-over time of the valve must be 60 seconds.
▪ Domestic hot water tank – Capacity. To avoid stagnation of water, it is
important that the storage capacity of the domestic hot water tank meets the
daily consumption of domestic hot water.
▪ Domestic hot water tank – After installation. Immediately after installation, the
domestic hot water tank must be flushed with fresh water. This procedure must
be repeated at least once a day the first 5 consecutive days after installation.
▪ Domestic hot water tank – Standstills. In cases where during longer periods of
time there is no consumption of hot water, the equipment MUST be flushed with
fresh water before usage.
▪ Domestic hot water tank – Disinfection. For the disinfection function of the
domestic hot water tank, see

advanced" [ 123].
▪ Thermostatic mixing valves. In accordance with the applicable legislation, it may
be necessary to install thermostatic mixing valves.
▪ Hygienic measures. The installation must be in compliance with the applicable
legislation and may require additional hygienic installation measures.
▪ Recirculation pump. In accordance with the applicable legislation, it may be
required to connect a recirculation pump in between the hot water end point
and the recirculation connection of the domestic hot water tank.

The pre-pressure (Pg) of the vessel depends on the installation height difference
(H):
Pg=0.3+(H/10) (bar)
The indoor unit has an expansion vessel of 10 litre with a factory-set pre-pressure
of 1 bar.
To make sure that the unit operates properly:
▪ You must check the minimum and maximum water volume.
▪ You might need to adjust the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel.
