Introduction
The heat pump system is designed to provide you a comfortable
indoor climate for many years at low energy consumption.
To get the most comfort with the lowest energy consumption out of
your system, it is very important to observe the items listed below.
De
fi
ning possible schedule timer actions for each day and
fi
lling out
the form at the very end of this manual can help you minimize the
energy consumption. Ask your installer for support if required.
■
Make sure the heat pump system works at the lowest possible
hot water temperature required to heat your house.
To optimize this, make sure the weather dependent set point is
used and con
fi
gured to match the installation environment.
Refer to
■
It is advised to install a room thermostat connected to the indoor
unit. This will prevent excessive space heating and will stop the
unit and the circulation pump when the room temperature is
above the thermostat set point.
■
Next recommendations only apply to installations with an
optional domestic hot water tank.
■
Make sure the domestic hot water is only heated up to the
domestic hot water temperature you require.
Start with a low domestic hot water temperature set point
(e.g. 45°C), and only increase if you feel that the domestic
hot water supply temperature is not suf
fi
cient.
■
Make sure the domestic water heating by booster heater only
start 1 to 2 hours before you expect domestic hot water
usage.
In case you only need a lot of domestic hot water in the
evening or in the morning, only allow domestic water heating
by booster heater during early morning and early evening.
Also keep hours with low electricity cost tariffs in mind.
To do this, program both the domestic water heating and
booster heating schedule timer. Refer to Programming in
chapter
"Programming and consulting the schedule timer" on
.
■
If the domestic hot water is not used for two weeks or more, a
quantity of hydrogen gas which is highly
fl
ammable may
accumulate in the domestic hot water tank. To dissipate this
gas safely, it is recommended that a hot tap be turned on for
several minutes at a sink, basin, or bath, but not at a
dishwasher, clothes washer or other appliance. During this
procedure there must be no smoking, open
fl
ame or any
electrical appliance operating nearby. If hydrogen is
discharged through the tap, it will probably make a sound as
of air escaping.
