Every  step  where  the  supplier  believes  that  may  be  harmful,  dangerous  and/or 
could damage some part is signalled with a danger sign.   
For a better characterization of the danger, the symbol will be followed by one of 
these words:  

 

DANGER

: when there is the possibility of harm to the operator and/or people 

in the vicinity of the equipment.  

 

WARNING

:  when  there  is  the  possibility  of  material  damage  to  the 

equipment and/or attached materials. 

 

 

All the information that the supplier believes to be an asset for better performance 
and preservation of the equipment, will be signalled together with the information 
sign.

Safety Information 

When installing

 

 

The installation of a thermodynamic system for domestic hot water must be carried out by a 

trained technician qualified for this purpose;  

 

The device should not be installed in places with presence of risk of impact, shock or explosion;  

 

Keep the equipment packed until it reaches the place and moment of installation;  

 

Make  sure  all  hydraulic  connections  are  well  tight  before  connecting  the  equipment  to  the 
power supply. 

 

 

 

 

DANGER 

The electrical installation of the product must comply with the national regulations 
for electrical safety.  

ECO-NOMIC

 will only operate after refrigerant charge.  

The  maximum  water pressure  into the  hydraulic  circuit  inlet  is  0.3  MPa  and the 
minimum pressure is 0.1 MPa. 
The power supply is 230V, 50Hz, and the power supply cable should be plugged 
into a socket with earth connection.  
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, 
customer service, or technicians with similar training in order to avoid any danger.  

ECO-NOMIC

 will only operate if the hot water cylinder is filled with water. 

 

 

DANGER 

This appliance is not intended for use by people (including children) with physical, 
sensorial or mental handicaps, or by people lacking experience and knowledge, 
unless  they  have  received  training  or  instructions  regarding  the  use  of  the 
appliance in a safe way, and are aware of the dangers involved. 
Children and pets should be supervised so as not to interfere with the operation 
of the equipment.
