service. The electrical instructions are available for download as below.
•The maintenance instructions must handed over and gone through with the end customer. Supplied with the
heat pump on delivery.
•Country specific instructions and forms are available where relevant. Supplied with the heat pump on delivery.
•Sheet with adhesive decals that will be used as translation for the existing English language type plates.

1.2 Symbols in documents
The instructions contain different warning symbols, which, together with text, indicate to the user that there are
risks involved with actions to be taken.
The symbols are displayed to the left of the text and three different symbols are used to indicate the degree of
danger:
DANGER! Indicates an immediate danger that leads to fatal or serious injury if necessary measures are not
taken.
Warning! Risk of personal injury! Indicates a possible danger that can lead to fatal or serious injury if
necessary measures are not taken.
Caution! Risk of installation damage. Indicates a possible hazard that can lead to item damage if necessary
measures are not taken.
A fourth symbol is used to give practical information or tips on how to perform a procedure.
Note! Information regarding making the handling of the installation easier or a possible operational
technical disadvantage.
1.3 Symbols on decals
The following symbols can occur on decals on the different parts of the heat pump. Which symbols are used
depends on the heat pump model.

1.4 Terminology
Term Meaning
Heating system/Heat transfer fluid
circuit The circuit that generates heat to the property or to the water heater.
Supply line The heating system’s supply line with flow direction from the heat pump to radiators/
under floor heating or water heater.
Return line The heating system’s return line with flow direction from radiators/under floor heating
or water heater to the heat pump.
Circulation pump Circulation pump for heating system.
Refrigerant circuit The energy carrying circuit between the outdoor air and heating system.
Refrigerant The gas/liquid that circulates in the refrigerant circuit.

2 Important information
2.1 General safety precautions
Warning! Risk of personal injury! Children are not permitted to play with the product.
Caution! The heat pump must be installed by authorised installation engineers and the installation must
follow the applicable local rules and regulations as well as these installation instructions.
Caution! This product is not intended for persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
psychological capacity, or who do not have knowledge or experience, unless supervised or they have
received instructions on how the apparatus functions from a safety qualified person.
Caution! When cooling it is important to limit the lowest flow line temperature to prevent condensation.
2.2 Refrigerant
2.2.1 Fire risk
The refrigerant is not combustible or explosive in normal conditions.
2.2.2 Toxicity
In normal use and normal conditions the refrigerant has low toxicity. However, although the toxicity of the refrig-
erant is low, it can cause injury (or be highly dangerous) in abnormal circumstances or where deliberately abused.
Warning! Risk of personal injury! Spaces in which heavy vapour can collect below the level of the air must
be well ventilated.
Refrigerant vapour is heavier than air and, in enclosed spaces below the level of a door for example, and in the
event of leakage, concentrations can arise with a resultant risk of suffocation due to a lack of oxygen.
Warning! Risk of personal injury! Refrigerant exposed to a naked flame creates a poisonous irritating gas.
This gas can be detected by its odour even at concentrations below its permitted levels. Evacuate the area
until it has been sufficiently ventilated.
2.2.3 Work on the refrigerant circuit
Caution! Work on the refrigerant circuit must only be carried out by a certified engineer!
Caution! When repairing the refrigerant circuit, the refrigerant must not be released from the heat pump -
it must dealt with in the appropriate way.
6 – Service instructions VMGFJ102

Refilling must only be carried out using new refrigerant (for the amount and type of refrigerant see manufacturer’s
plate) through the service valves.
Caution! All warranties from Danfoss are void if, when filling with refrigerant other than Danfoss A/S
specified refrigerant, if there has not been written notification that the new refrigerant is an approved
replacement refrigerant together with other remedies.
2.2.4 Scrapping
Caution! When the heat pump is to be scrapped the refrigerant must be extracted for disposal. Local rules
and regulations related to the disposal of refrigerant must be followed.
2.3 Electrical connection
DANGER! Hazardous electrical voltage! The terminal blocks are live and can be highly dangerous due to
the risk of electric shock. All power supplies must be isolated before electrical installation is started. The
heat pump is connected internally at the factory, for this reason electrical installation consists mainly of
the connection of the power supply.
Warning! Electrical installation may only be carried out by an authorised electrician and must follow
applicable local and national regulations.
Warning! The electrical installation must be carried out using permanently routed cables. It must be
possible to isolate the power supply using a multi-pole circuit breaker with a minimum contact gap of 3
mm.
2.4 Important information
Caution! A normal heating system always contains a certain amount of corrosion particulates (rust) and
sludge products from calcium oxide. This comes from acid that is naturally occurring in the fresh water
that the system is filled with. It is not good practice to have to fill the heating system regularly which is
why any leakage in the heating system should be repaired immediately. Normal filling should occur only
once or twice a year. The water in the heating system should be as clean as possible, always position the
dirt filter on the return line from the heating system to the heat pump, as close to the heat pump as
possible.
Caution! Hard water; Normally it is not a problem installing a heat pump in areas with hard water because
the normal operating temperature for the hot water does not exceed 60°C. In areas where there are
exceptional prevailing conditions with the water one can install a softening filter, which softens the water,
cleans any impurities and prevents the build up of calcification.
Service instructions VMGFJ102 – 7

2.5 Commissioning
Caution! The installation may only be commissioned if the heating system is filled and bled. Otherwise the
circulation pump can be damaged.
Caution! If the installation is only to operate using an auxiliary heater during the installation, ensure that
the heating system is filled and bled and that the compressor cannot be started. This is carried out by
setting the operating mode to AUX. HEATER.
