5
Before commencing work on the product:
▶
Disconnect the product from the power
supply by switching off all power supplies
at all poles (electrical partition with a con-
tact gap of at least 3 mm, e.g. fuse or cir-
cuit breaker).
▶
Secure against being switched back on
again.
▶
Wait for at least 3 minutes until the capa-
citors have discharged.
▶
Check that there is no voltage.
1.3.5 Risk of injury due to chemical burns
caused by brine fluid
The brine fluid ethylene glycol is harmful to
health.
▶
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
▶
Always wear gloves and protective
goggles.
▶
Do not inhale or swallow.
▶
Observe the safety data sheet that accom-
panies the brine fluid.
1.3.6 Risk of burns due to hot and cold
components
There is a risk of burns from any uninsulated
pipelines and from the auxiliary electric heat-
ing.
▶
Only carry out work on the components
once they have reached ambient temperat-
ure.
1.3.7 Risk of material damage due to an
unsuitable installation surface
An uneven installation surface may cause
leaks in the product.
If the installation surface does not have suffi-
cient load-bearing capacity, the product may
topple.
▶
Make sure that the product is positioned
flush against the installation surface.
▶
Ensure that the installation surface has
sufficient load-bearing capacity to bear the
operating weight of the product.
1.3.8 Risk of material damage due to
malfunctioning
Not rectifying faults, changing the safety
devices and failing to carry out maintenance
can cause malfunctioning and pose safety
risks during operation.
▶
Ensure that the heating installation is in a
technically perfect condition.
▶
Ensure that no safety or monitoring
devices have been removed, bridged or
disabled.
▶
Immediately eliminate any faults and dam-
age that may affect safety.
1.3.9 Risk of injury from freezing caused
by touching refrigerant
The product is delivered with an operational
filling of R410A refrigerant. Escaping refri-
gerant may cause freezing if the exit point is
touched.
▶
If refrigerant escapes, do not touch any
components of the product.
▶
Do not inhale any steam or gases that
escape from the refrigerant circuit as a
result of leaks.
▶
Avoid skin or eye contact with the refriger-
ant.
▶
In the event of skin or eye contact with the
refrigerant, seek medical advice.
1.3.10 Risk of material damage caused by
using an unsuitable tool
▶
Use the correct tool to tighten or loosen
threaded connections.
1.3.11 Risk of material damage caused by
condensate inside the house
In heating mode, the lines between the heat
pump and the heat source (environment cir-
cuit) are cold, which means that condensate
may form on the lines in the house. In cooling
mode, the lines in the building circuit are so
cold that condensate may form if the temper-
ature falls below the dew point. Condensate
may lead to material damage, for example
due to corrosion.
▶
Ensure that you do not damage the heat
insulation on the lines.
1.3.12 Risk of material damage caused by
frost
▶
Do not install the product in rooms prone
to frost.
