Storage; Shutdown In Winter - Steinbach MINI User Manual

Refrigerant
Leaking refrigerant indicates that the refrigerant circuit in the finned heat exchanger has a leak. Contact
a qualified person immediately if you detect a leak in the refrigerant circuit.
Keep in mind that refrigerants are odorless.

Storage

As soon as the outside temperature permanently falls below +5 °C, the heat pump should be stored
away for the winter to prevent damage through ice formation (frost bursts).
Permanently installed water pipes do not necessarily have to be deinstalled. If the
location of the heat pump is protected against heavy soiling and strong weather
influences, it is sufficient to drain the water from the heat pump and the water pipes.

Shutdown in winter

1. Disconnect all lines and pipes (see section "Deinstallation").
2. Clean the heat pump thoroughly (see section "Cleaning").
3. After thorough drying, store the heat pump in a dry, frost-free place (>+5 °C).
The heat pump is stored away for the winter.
