Servicing
Before any maintenance operation,
ensure that the general power supply is switched off .
►
Hydraulic checks
If frequent refi lls are required it is absolutely
essential that you check for any leaks. If
refi lling and a pressure reset are necessary,
check what type of fl uid was used initially.
Recommended fi lling pressure: 1 to 2 bar (Precise fi lling
pressure is determined by the manometric height of the
installation).
Each year,
- Check the expansion vessel pressure (precharge 1 bar)
and the correct functioning of the safety valve.
- Verify the safety unit on the cold water supply inlet.
Make it work as prescribed by the manufacturer.
- Check the shut-off .
- Verify the correct functioning of the distribution valve.

Maintenance of the DHW tank
(Duo models)
Maintenance of the tank must be undertaken once a year
(The frequency may vary according to water hardness).
▼ Emptying the hot water tank
- Remove the facade from the hydraulic unit.
- Close the cold water entry into the tank.
- Open a hot water tap and open the water tank emptying
valve (ref.
1
).
▼ Descaling
- Empty the water tank.
- Remove the cowl from the electrical backup (ref.
2
).
- Disconnect the electrical backup.
- Disconnect the ACI.
- Remove the electrical backup (ref.
3
).
- Descale the exchanger to maintain performance.
- Remove any scale deposits that may have accumulated
in the tank. It is best to leave any scale sticking to the
sides of the tank: this forms a protective layer.
- Gently remove any scale deposits on the thermowell.
Do not use any metal objects or chemical or abrasive
products.
- Replace the electrical backup's gasket (ref.
4
) each
time it is dismantled.
- Reinstall the electrical backup and tighten alternate
nuts in rotation.
- Reconnect the electrical backup.
- Reconnect the ACI.
- Replace the cowl on the electrical backup.
►
Checking the outdoor unit
- Remove any dust from the exchanger, if necessary,
while making sure not to damage the blades.
- Straighten the blades using a comb.
- Check that there is nothing blocking the air fl ow.
- Check the fan.
- Verify that condensate drain is not obstructed.
• Checking the refrigeration circuit :
- If the amount of refrigerant in the system exceeds
2kg (models > 10kW), the refrigeration circuit must be
checked annually by an approved engineer (they must
have a certifi cate of competence for the handling of
refrigerants).
- Check there are no leaks (connections, valves…).
►
Checking the electrical circuit
- Check connections and possible tightening.
- Check the cables condition and electronic boards.
- ACI light: In normal operation, the light fl ashes.
