7 Service and maintenance
7.1 General
Regular inspection and maintenance of the Altherma M ECH
2
O
reduces energy consumption and ensures a long life and trouble-
free operation.
Have inspection and maintenance carried out by
authorised and trained HVAC engineers once a year,
ideally
before the heating period
. Malfunctions during
the heating period can therefore be prevented.
Daikin recommends an inspection and maintenance contract to
ensure regular inspection and maintenance.
Please observe the respective instructions for work on the out-
door unit.

●
Before beginning work on live parts,
disconnect all of the systems circuits
from the power supply
(switch off external
main switch, disconnect fuse) and secure
against unintentional restart.
●
The electrical connection and working on the
