2. WALL COMMAND PANEL
The control panel has function memory, so all the settings are not lost in case of switch off or in the event of
power failure.
Eventual anomalies of the single connected terminals are not indicated by the wall panel.
Thanks to the temperature probe, it guarantees anti- freeze safety, even when in stand-by.
After a period of 20 seconds from the last action, the panel light dims and the display shows the environment
temperature. Maximum luminosity is restored when pressing any key.

3. MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance is essential to keep Hybrid INV always efficient, and safe over time. These operations can
be carried out every six months or annually by the Technical Assistance Service, who is technically qualified and
prepared and has the necessary original spare parts.

3.1 Cleaning the outside
- Before every cleaning and maintenance intervention, disconnect the appliance from the mains by
switching off the master switch.
- Wait until the parts have cooled down to avoid the risk of burns.
- Do not use abrasive sponges or abrasive or corrosive detergents
to avoid damaging the painted surfaces.
- When necessary, clean the outer surfaces of the Air Leaf cooler-
convector with a soft cloth damp cloth.
3.2 Cleaning air suction filter
After a period of continuous operation and in consideration of the concentration of impurities in the air, or
when he intends to restart the plant after a period of inactivity, proceed as described:
- Extract the front grill by lifting it slightly and turn it until it comes right out of its seat;
- Extract the filter, pulling it horizontally outwards.

- It is forbidden to use the unit without the net filters.
- The appliance is fitted with a safety switch that prevents the operation of the cooler with the mobile
panel missing or out of position.
- After finishing the cleaning of the filter, check that the panel is mounted correctly.
Insert the two lugs into the special slots, turn it and hook it up with a slight tap on the upper part.
Always keep the filters clean;
- when far possible, keep the doors and windows closed in the room being conditioned;
- limit where possible the effect of direct sun rays in the rooms being conditioned (use curtains, shutters
etc.)
4. Troubleshooting
4.1 Troubleshooting
In case of water leaks or anomalous functioning immediately cut off the power supply and close the water taps.
Should one of the following anomalies occur, contact an authorized service centre or an authorized qualified person,
but do not intervene personally
- The ventilation does not activate even if there is hot or cold water in the hydraulic circuit.
- The appliance leaks water during the heating function.
- The appliance leaks water only during the cooling function.
- The appliance makes an excessive noise.
- There are formations of dew on the front panel.

4.2 Table of anomalies and remedies
The interventions must be carried out by a qualified installer or by a specialized service centre.
Effect
Cause
Remedy
A delayed activation of the
ventilation respect to the new
temperature or function
settings.
The circuit valve needs some time to open
and as a result the hot or cold water takes
time to circulate in the appliance.
Wait for 2 or 3 minutes to open the circuit
valve.
The appliance does not
activate the ventilation.
No hot or cold water in the system.
Check that the water boiler or cooler are
functioning correctly.
The ventilation does not
activate even if there is hot or
cold water in the hydraulic
circuit.
The hydraulic valve remains closed.
Dismount the valve body and check if the
water circulation is restored.
Check the working efficiency of the valve by
powering it separately with 230V. If it
activates the problem could be the electronic
control.
The fan motor is blocked or burnt out.
Check the windings of the motor and thefree
rotation of the fan.
The micro-switch that stops the ventilation
when the filter grill is opened does not
close correctly.
Check that by closing the grill the micro-
switch contact is activated.
The electrical connections are not correct.
Check the electrical connections.
The appliance leaks water
during the heating function.
Leaks in the hydraulic connections of the
system.
Check the leak and fully tighten the
connections.
Leaks in the valve unit.
Check the state of the gaskets.
There are formations of dew on
the front panel.
Thermal insulation unstuck.
Check the correct positioning of the
thermo-acoustic insulation paying attention to
that in the front above the finned battery.
There are drops of water on the
air outlet grill.
In situations of high humidity (>60%)
condensation could form, especially at the
minimum ventilation speeds.
As soon as the humidity starts falling the
phenomenon disappears. In any case the
presence of a few drops of water in the
appliance does not indicate a malfunction.
The appliance leaks water only
during the cooling function.
The condensation bowl is blocked.
Slowly pour a bottle of water in the low part of
the battery to check the drainage; if necessary,
clean the bowl and/or increase the inclination
of the drainage pipe.
The condensation discharge does not
need an inclination for correct drainage.
The connection pipes and the valve unit
are not insulated well.
Check the insulation of the pipes.
The appliance makes a strange
noise.
The fan touches the structure.
Check the clogging of filters and clean them if
necessary
The fan is unbalanced.
The unbalancing causes excessive
vibrations of the machine; replace the fan.
Check the clogging of filters and clean
them if necessary
Clean the filters
