If the ambient temperature is outside of the
range 3 °C-40 °C, the pump will not be able to
run by using the heat pump mode. The
electric element will be used if COMBI mode
is selected (default mode) and until the
ambient air temperature returns to the
operating range. If HEAT PUMP mode is
selected the electric element will not be used
outside the nominal operating range to heat
up the water.

4.11 Off-peak compatibility

The appliance is technically compatible to be connected to a fix
line for off-peak tariff. However, the off-peak must be wisely
used.
Off-peak periods off less than 16 hours might not ensure the re-
heating, depending on the hot water demand and on the
temperature of the air and inlet water. Ensure that your off-
peak periods are suitable for your needs.
The weekly LEG mode requires additionally 6 to 7 hours.
Therefore once a week this additional period must be ensured
to complete the thermal disinfection. It is recommended to
programme the LEG to be done when extended off-peak
periods are available, typically weekends.
To optimize the comfort and maximize the savings, it is
recommended the use of a power commutator between the
normal line and the off peak line together with a programmed
working period (section 5.6.2). The best strategy will
depend up on the hot water needs and ambient conditions.
In case time of use tariffs are available, it is recommended to
use the programmed working periods (section 5.6.2) to
take full advantage of them.

In case of a temporary suspension on the water supply during a
off-peak period the appliance may get unpurged and stop
working during its restart. An error message will be displayed
and the appliance will remain blocked. To minimize the
possible inconveniences from a suppression on the water
supply service, always check the appliance after such incident
occurred.
