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).
• Set the regulator to "standby" mode by pressing
• 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 Servicing
• Before any servicing 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 Safety instructions
Area check
• Before starting work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks must be carried out to guarantee a
minimal ignition risk.
Work procedure
• The work must be carried out according to a controlled procedure in order to reduce the risks of releasing a flammable
gas or vapour while working.
General work area
• All maintenance staff and other personnel working in the surrounding area must be made aware of the work carried
out. Work conducted in enclosed areas must be avoided.
Check for the presence of refrigerant
• The area must be analysed using a suitable refrigerant detector before and during work so that the technician is
informed of the presence of a potentially toxic or flammable atmosphere. Check that the leak detection equipment
used is suitable for use with all refrigerants concerned, i.e. that it does not cause a spark, is correctly isolated or is
entirely safe.
Check for the presence of a fire extinguisher
• If work must be carried out on the cooling equipment or any part associated therewith at a certain temperature,
suitable fire extinguishing means must be within reach. Place a dry chemical fire extinguisher or CO
near the work area.
No source of ignition
• No person carrying out work on a cooling system involving exposing the piping may use any ignition source, which
could create a fire or explosion risk. All possible ignition sources, in particular cigarettes, must not enter within a
sufficient perimeter of the installation, repair, removal or disposal site, in the event that refrigerant could be released
and disconnect the power supply,
