Installation and Owner’s Manual – Heat Pump

Conditioning Cycle

Step 6 

•  When the unit is operated for the first 

time, it runs through a conditioning 
cycle. 

•  Once this has occurred, it is 

important to conduct a draw off 
of hot water, and allow the unit 
to re-heat prior to testing water 
temperature.

•  Do the following: 

 

- After filling the tank with water, allow 

time for the initial heat up cycle.

 

- Once its first heat up cycle is 

complete, empty approximately 
60 litres of hot water from the tank 
through the PTR valve outlet.

 

- Then allow the water in the tank to 

re-heat.

 

- Once the re-heat cycle is complete, 

measure the water temperature at 
the PTR outlet again.

 

- The temperature will be 

approximately 60º C.

•  If for any reason the unit does not 

start, the water is cold and the 
Hotlogic unit is not displaying any LED 
lights, an electrician should test that 
power is available to the heat pump. 

•  Note: There are no installer 

serviceable parts within the heat 
pump module.
