1.1 Important Information:
ATTENTION!
The device is not suitable for operation with a frequency converter.
ATTENTION!
When transporting the heat pump, ensure that it is not tilted more than
45° (in any direction).
ATTENTION!
Do not restrict or block the area around the air intake or outlet.
ATTENTION!
Ensure that there is a clockwise rotating field: Operating the compressor
in the wrong rotational direction could cause damage to the compressor.
ATTENTION!
Never use cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride as
these can damage the surfaces.
ATTENTION!
We recommend the installation of a suitable corrosion protection system
to prevent the formation of deposits (e.g. rust) in the condenser of the
heat pump.
ATTENTION!
Before opening the device, ensure that all circuits are isolated from the
power supply.
ATTENTION!
Any work on the heat pump may only be performed by authorised and
qualified after-sales service technicians.
1.2 Intended Use
This device is only intended for use as specified by the manufac-
turer. Any other use beyond that intended by the manufacturer is
prohibited. This requires the user to abide by the manufacturers
product information. Please refrain from tampering with or alter-
ing the device.
1.3 Legal Regulations and
Directives
This heat pump is designed for use in a domestic environment
according to Article 1, Paragraph 2 k) of EC directive 2006/42/EC
(machinery directive) and is thus subject to the requirements of
EC directive 2006/95/EC (low-voltage directive). It is thus also in-
tended for use by non-professionals for heating shops, offices
and other similar working environments, in agricultural establish-
ments and in hotels, guest houses and similar / other residential
buildings.
The construction and design of the heat pump complies with all
relevant EU directives, DIN/VDE regulations (see CE declaration
of conformity).
When connecting the heat pump to the power supply, the rele-
vant VDE, EN and IEC standards are to be fulfilled. Any further
connection requirements stipulated by local utility companies
must also be observed.
When connecting the heating system, all applicable regulations
must also be adhered to.
Persons, especially children, who are not capable of operating
the device safely due to their physical, sensory or mental abilities
or due to their inexperience or lack of knowledge, must not ope-
rate this device without supervision or instruction by the person in
charge.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the device.
1.4 Energy-Efficient Use of the
Heat Pump
With the purchase of this heat pump you are helping to protect
the environment. A prerequisite for energy-efficient operation is
the correct design of the heat source system and heating system
(radiators and circulation pump).
It is particularly important for the efficiency of a heat pump to
keep the temperature difference between heating water and heat
source as small as possible. For this reason, it is advisable to de-
sign the heat source and heating system very carefully.
A tem-
perature difference of approx. one Kelvin increases the
power consumption by around 2.5 %.
When designing the
heating system, it should be borne in mind that special consum-
ers such as e.g. hot water preparation should also be considered
and dimensioned for low temperatures.
Underfloor heating
systems (panel heating) are optimally suited for heat pump use
on account of the low flow temperatures (30 °C to 40 °C).
It is important to ensure that the heat exchangers are not con-
taminated during operation because this increases the tempera-
ture difference, in turn reducing the COP.
Correct adjustment of the heat pump manager is also important
for energy-efficient use of the heat pump. Further information can
be found in the heat pump manager operating instructions.
