2.4 Residual risks
Injuries caused by electric shock
Components in the unit are energised with life-
threatening voltage. Before working on the unit:
►Disconnect unit from power supply.
►Secure unit against being switched back on again.
Existing earthing connections within housings or on
mounting plates must not be altered. If this should nev-
ertheless be necessary in the course of repair or as-
sembly work:
►Restore earthing connections to their original con-
dition after completion of the work.
Injuries caused by high temperatures
►Before working on the unit, let it cool down.
2.5 Avoid damage to property
Improper action
Requirements for minimum scale and corrosion
damage in hot water heating systems:
●Proper planning, design and commissioning
●Closed system with regard to corrosion
●Integration of an adequately dimensioned
pressure maintaining device
●Use of demineralised heating water (VE water) or
water corresponding to the VDI 2035 norm
●Regular servicing and maintenance
If a system is not planned, designed, started up and
operated in accordance with the given requirements,
then there is a risk that the following damage and
faults will occur:
●Faults and the failure of components, e.g. pumps,
valves
●Internal and external leaks, e.g. from heat
exchangers
●Cross-section reduction and blockages in
components, e.g. heat exchanger, pipes, pumps
●Material fatigue
●Gas bubbles and gas cushion formation
(cavitation)
● Negativeeectonheattransfer,e.g.formationof
coatings, deposits, and associated noises, e.g.

►Note and follow the information in this operating
manual for all work on and with the unit.

water in the heating circuit
Theeciencyofthesystemandtheservicelifeofthe
heat generator and the heating components depend
decisively on the quality of the heating water.
Whenthesystemislledwithuntreateddrinkingwater,
calcium precipitates as scale. Lime scale deposits
form on the heat transfer surfaces of the heating. The
eciency drops and energy costs rise. In extreme
cases, the heat exchangers will be damaged.
►Fill the system with deionised heating water
(VE water) or with water corresponding to the VDI
2035 norm only (low-salt operation of the system).
3 Operation and maintenance
NOTE
The unit is operated via the control panel
of the heating and heat pump controller
(operating manual of the heating and heat
pump controller).
3.1 Energy and environmentally-
conscious operation
The generally accepted requirements for energy-
conscious and environmentally-conscious operation
of a heating system also apply to use of a heat pump.
The most important measures include:
● Nounnecessarilyhighowtemperature
●No unnecessarily high domestic hot water
temperature (note and follow local regulations)
●Do not open windows with just a gap or tilt open
(continuous ventilation); instead, open wide for a
short time (shock ventilation)
●Always ensure that the controller settings are
correct
3.2 Maintenance
Wipe down the outside of the unit only using a damp
cloth or cloth with mild cleaning product (washing-up
liquid, neutral cleaning agent). Never use any harsh,
abrasive, acid or chlorine-based cleaning products.
