Cleaning the outer casing
If necessary the outer casing can be cleaned using a damp cloth.
Care must be exercised so that the heat pump is not scratched when
cleaning. Avoid spraying water into the grilles or the sides so that water
penetrates into AMS 10. Prevent AMS 10 coming into contact with alkaline
cleaning agents.
Silent mode
The heat pump can be set to "silent mode", which reduces the heat pump's
noise level. The function is useful when AMS 10 must be placed in noise
sensitive areas. The function should only be used for limited periods as
AMS 10 may not reach its dimensioned output.
Saving tips
Your heat pump installation produces heat and cooling and/or hot water.
This occurs via the control settings you made.
Factors that affect the energy consumption are, for example, indoor tem-
perature, hot water consumption, the insulation level of the house and
whether the house has many large window surfaces. The position of the
house, e.g. wind exposure is also an affecting factor.
Also remember:
■
Open the thermostat valves completely (except in the rooms that are to
be kept cooler for various reasons, e.g. bedrooms). The thermostats slow
the flow in the heating system, which the heat pump wants to com-
pensate with increased temperatures. It then works harder and consumes
more electrical energy.
■
Reduce or adjust the settings for heating in any external control systems.
