Installation and Handover

1. When your Baxi Ambiflo

TM

heat pump was commissioned, the

engineer should have explained the system, its function and

controls including:  

• 

Heating by Heat Pump

- How the heat pump heats the

property, either on its own or in conjunction with an Electrical

Heater. 

• 

Heating by Auxiliary Source

- The operation of any auxiliary

heating source used in conjunction with the heat pump, whether

automatic or manual.

• 

Operation of the Heat Pump Controller

- A demonstration of

the basic operation of the unit and an explanation of the

controller’s icons and functions.

• 

Defrosting of the Unit

- Occasionally, frost will form on the

rear of the unit across the finned heat exchanger. This is a

normal function of the Heat Pump’s operation and should not

cause concern to the user. This function is performed

automatically by the unit as and when necessary. During the

defrosting phase, water vapour may be seen around the unit as

the frost melts. The unit will return to the heating mode

automatically when the defrost phase is completed.

• 

System Malfunction

- What to do in the event of a system

fault including how to isolate the electrical supply or water

supply.

• 

System Maintenance

- The Baxi Ambiflo

TM

Heat Pump requires

regular maintenance to ensure its continued safe and efficient

operation. The service intervals and any maintenance required to

keep the unit in good working order.

• 

Literature

- This should have been left with the user by the

commissioning engineer. These instructions explain a number of

the above points and should be retained as a reminder of how

to operate the Baxi Ambiflo

TM

heating system. If you are in any

doubt, please ask your installer for clarification, or contact the

Baxi Technical Enquiry Line, Telephone 0844 871 1568.
