Installation and Owner’s Manual – Heat Pump

What Should I Do During Holi-
days?

If you are going to be away for a week 
or more, it is advisable to turn off the 
electricity supply to the system. While 
there is no damage likely if the electricity 
is left on, you will consume energy 
through storage tank heat losses which 
can be avoided.

Warning:

 If the hot water system is 

not used for two weeks or more, a 
quantity of hydrogen gas, which is highly 
flammable, may accumulate in the water 
heater. To dissipate this gas safely, it is 
recommended that a hot tap be turned 
on for several minutes at a sink, basin 
or bath, but not a dishwasher, clothes 
washer, or other appliance. During this 
procedure, there must be no smoking, 
open flame or any other electrical 
appliance operating nearby. If hydrogen 
is discharged through the tap, it will 
probably make an unusual noise similar 
to air escaping.
