This booklet has been created to enable you to quickly personalise
the Heating System controls to provide the best operation conditions
for your home. If you require more in depth information and
system settings please refer to the instruction booklet provided
with the cylinder unit.
Your heating system consists of:
Introduction to Your
New Mitsubishi Electric
Ecodan Heating System
Ecodan Air Source
Heat Pump
(Located outside)
Radiators or
Underfloor Heating
Control Panel
Cylinder Unit

Heat energy from the outside air and mains
electricity are used by the Air Source Heat Pump
to heat refrigerant to a high temperature. This
heat is then transferred to water which flows into
your home for central heating and also for
domestic hot water. The way the heat pump
works is similar to a refrigerator in reverse.
Ecodan Air Source Heat Pump
The cylinder unit is used to store your hot water as well as
containing various heating parts essential to operating your
heating system, such as water pumps and safety valves.
Controls
Your hot water and central heating system is
operated by the control panel, which will either
be attached to the front of the cylinder unit or
attached to a wall in your home. The control panel
allows you to customise the settings to your requirements.
Ecodan Cylinder Unit
This is the method used to transfer heat from the Ecodan to the home.
Most often large radiators, but sometimes under floor heating.
TRV’s
Your radiators may be fitted with Thermostatic
Radiator Valves (TRV’s). These will adjust the
amount of heat emitted from the radiator,
dependent on the demand. Each valve can be
adjusted by turning the top of the valve. The
higher the number displayed on the valve, the
warmer your room will become and the more
energy you will use. Check your TRV’s to make
sure they are not set too high.

This is not a problem for
heating. It is advisable not
to hang clothes over the
radiators as it prevents
the heat from passing to
the air in the room.
Reaction times differ
between systems of
different sizes. Please
ensure you wait sufficient
time before adjusting the
controls again.
Use the schedule function
to heat water up
overnight or during
a time when the home
is unoccupied.
It is nearly always more
efficient to run the system
in “Room Auto Adaptation”
mode for heating.
How to operate your system efficiently
The Ecodan provides water at a lower temperature than the gas or oil
fired boiler you may be used to. This means that you may notice some
differences between this system and ones you have used before.
Below is a list of the main differences and how these will affect you.
To optimise running costs it is advisable the homeowner seeks the most cost effective
electricity tariff. An internet search facility like www.uswitch.com will be able to help.
Low flow
temperatures
Central heating will
not run whilst the hot
water tank is being
heated.
Advanced Controls
Radiators will not feel
hot to the touch.
Central heating may
be slower to respond
when you change the
set temperature.
Room temperature
may decrease a little
during water tank
heat up.
Self learning controls
mean that the system
runs more efficiently.

Schedule
When setting up the system your installer should discuss with you
your heating and domestic hot water requirements so that the
optimum schedule can be created. Activation or deactivation of the
schedule is set up in the option screen. (See page 8). Detailed setting
instructions are available in the instruction booklet provided with the
cylinder unit.
The PREVIEW screen allows you to view the current settings.
Where a day or days appear underlined, the settings are the same
for all those days underlined.
Hours of the day are shown as a
bar across the main part of the

The following is to be used as a guide to possible problems. It is not exhaustive and all
serious problems should be investigated by the installer or another competent person.
Users should not attempt to repair the system themselves. At no time should the system
be operating with the safety devices by-passed or blocked up.
Troubleshooting
Cold water at taps
Hot water may be scheduled off:
Please check schedule settings and
alter if necessary.
All the hot water from tank may be used:
Ensure DHW mode is operating and wait
for tank to re-heat.
Heat pump or electric heaters not working:
Contact installer.
Water discharges from one
of the relief valves
The system has overheated/over pressurised:
Please switch off power to the heat
pump and any immersion heaters then
contact installer.
Small amounts of water drip
from one of the relief valves
Dirt may be preventing a tight seal in the valve:
Please twist the valve cap in the direction
indicated until a click is heard. This will release
a small amount of water flushing dirt from the
valve. Be very careful, the water released will
be hot. Should the valve continue to drip,
contact installer as the rubber seal may be
damaged and need replacing.
Noisy pipework
Air may be trapped in the system:
Try bleeding radiators (if present) using
a radiator key, if the symptoms persist
contact installer.
Heating system does not get
up to set temperature
Prohibit, schedule or holiday mode selected:
Check settings and change as appropriate.
Incorrectly sized radiators:
Contact installer.
The room in which the temperature sensor
is located is at a different temperature to
the rest of the house: Reposition the
temperature sensor to a more suitable room.
An error code appears in the
main controller display
The indoor or outdoor unit is
reporting an abnormal condition:
Make a note of the error
code number and contact installer.
Pump runs without reason
for short time
Pump jam prevention mechanism to inhibit
the build up of scale is working. Normal
operation, no action necessary.
Mechanical noise heard coming
from cylinder unit
Heaters switching on/off:
Normal operation, no action required.
3-way valve changing position between
DHW and heating mode:
Normal operation, no action necessary.
Heating emitter is hot in the DHW
mode (the room temperature rises)
The 3-way valve may have foreign objects in
it, or hot water may flow to the heating side
due to malfunctions: Contact installer.
‘Smoke’ is blown from the front
of the Ecodan in cold weather
This is warm air being blown from the
Ecodan to ensure the internal parts don’t
freeze. It is known as the defrost cycle:
Normal operation, no action necessary.
Power failure
All settings will be saved for 1 week with
no power, after 1 week Date/Time ONLY
will be saved.
