Turn off any combustible heating devices, ventilate the

Symptom: Heat pump failure
When the heat pump fails to operate, the backup heater can serve
as an emergency heater and either automatically or non-
automatically take over the heat load.
▪ When auto emergency is set to Automatic and a heat pump failure
occurs, the backup heater will automatically take over the heat
load and the domestic hot water production.
▪ When auto emergency is set to Manual and a heat pump failure
occurs, the domestic hot water and space heating operation will
stop and need to be recovered manually via the user interface. To
recover operation manually, go to the Malfunctioning main menu
screen, where the user interface will then ask you to confirm
whether the backup heater can take over the heat load or not.
When the heat pump fails,
or
will appear on the user
interface.
Possible cause
