1.1 Important information:
ATTENTION!
The device is not suitable for operation with a frequency converter.
ATTENTION!
When transporting the heat pump, care must be taken to ensure that it is
not tilted more than 45° (in any direction).
ATTENTION!
Do not restrict or block up the air intake opening or exhaust air outlet.
ATTENTION!
Never use cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride
because these could damage 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 alte-
ring 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 and/or cooling system, all applica-
ble 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 oper-
ate 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 (radia-
tors and circulation pump) or cooling system.
It is particularly important for the efficient heating operation of a
heat pump to keep the temperature difference between the
heating water and the heat source as small as possible. For this
reason, it is advisable to design the heat source and heating sys-
tem very carefully.
A temperature 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 consumers such as e.g. hot water preparation should
also be considered and dimensioned for low temperatures.
Un-
derfloor 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's operating instructions.
