–
Heat pump may only be installed and put into
operation by certified qualified personnel
(SOLARFOCUS service technician or
SOLARFOCUS service partner).

–
Have repairs done by qualified personnel only.
Improper repairs can lead to risks for the user and
inefficient operating conditions.
–
Use original spare parts only.
Handling of refrigerant R410A
–
The heat pump uses refrigerant R410A. Work on
the cooling circuit may be performed only by a
qualified refrigerant electrician.
–
Wear suitable gloves and goggles when working
with refrigerant.
What to do in case of escaping refrigerant
–
Escaping refrigerant
[1]
can cause frostbite if it tou-
ches the exit point. If refrigerant escapes do not
touch any components of the heat pump.
[1] Recognizable by oily residue, which is left when exiting.
–
Avoid skin or eye contact with the refrigerant. In
case of skin or eye contact with the refrigerant, a
doctor should be consulted.
–
Switch off heat pump, Contact qualified per-
sonnel.
3 Warranty, guarantee, liability

maintenance agreement.
3.1 Technical requirements for warranty
and guarantee claims
The following technical requirements must be obser-
ved as a precondition for a warranty and guarantee
claim.
Regular maintenance
–
Have the heat pump serviced annually by qua-
lified personnel.
Specifications for the heating system's fill-up/-
make-up water
–
Check pH value: this must be in the range of
8.2 to 9.5
–
Avoiding scale buildup (=limescale on heat
exchanger surfaces):
–
Take the water hardness into account
–
Soften the fill-up water, or better: desalinate it.
–
Avoiding water-side corrosion (is triggered by the
oxygen in the water):
–
Correct system planning, correct dimen-
sioning, take material combinations into
account.
–
Repair leaks immediately.
–
Expansion tank (prevents air suction when the
system cools down): Correctly set the pres-
sure, check it regularly.
–
Existing underfloor heating: Take care with
old, diffusion-open plastic pipes (separate the
system).

operating hour counter).
–
The warranty periods are based on the relevant
regulations.
–
We must be notified promptly and accurately of
any damage incurred, so that the cause can be

related faults and faults in the manufacture of the
system that prevent correct and problem-free
