MAINTENANCE: WARNINGS CONCERNING APPLIANCES CONTAINING R32 REFRIGERANT 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.

Wiring • Check that the wiring shows no signs of wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, cutting edges or any other detrimental environmental effect. The check must also take into account the effects of ageing or continuous vibrations caused by sources such as compressors or fans. Detection of flammable refrigerant •...

❷ Use 2.1 I Operating principle 2.1.1 General operation Your heat pump uses the calories (heat) in the air to heat up your pool's water. The process to heat your pool's water to the temperature you want may take a few days as it depends on the weather conditions, the heat pump's power and the difference between the water temperature and the temperature you want.
After the start-up steps for your heat pump: • Shut down the water circulation temporarily (by stopping the filtration or closing valve B or C) to check that your appliance stops after a few seconds (via the activation of the flow switch). •...
