4. Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Remedy
No hot water is
available.
No power at the appli-
ance.
Check that the appliance
is connected to the power
supply.
A fuse/MCB in the fuse
box has blown/tripped.
Check whether the fuses/
MCBs in your fuse box have
blown/tripped. If required,
disconnect the appliance from
the power supply and replace
the fuses/reset the MCBs.
Contact your qualified cont-
ractor if the fuse/MCB blows/
trips again after the appliance
is re-connected to the power
supply.
The air intake or air
discharge of the appliance
is blocked.
Check the air intake grille and
air discharge grille for dirt
accumulations. Remove any
dirt (see the "Maintenance and
care" chapter).
The ambient tempera-
ture exceeds the upper
application limit (see
the "Specification/ Data
table" chapter). The ap-
pliance safety equipment
has responded and the
appliance has shut down
automatically.
Wait for the appliance to cool
down. Call a qualified contrac-
tor if the appliance does not
restart automatically.
The ambient tempe-
rature falls below the
lower application limit
(see the "Specification/
Data table" chapter). The
evaporator is being de-
frosted intermittently.
Wait until the appliance
restarts automatically.
The appliance is
not heating the
DHW cylinder
although the heat
pump symbol is
illuminated.
The compressor lockout
time has not yet elapsed.
Once the compressor has
been switched off, it will
only be switched back on
again after the 20minute
compressor lockout time
has elapsed.
The safety valve of
the cold water inlet
line is dripping.
These units are under
water mains pressure.
During the heat-up pro-
cess, expansion water will
drip from the safety valve.
Notify a qualified contractor if
water continues to drip when
heat-up has been completed.
The condensate
drain drips.
The surface temperature
of the evaporator is lower
than the dew point tem-
perature of the ambient
air. Condensate forms.
The amount of condensate
depends on the humidity level
of the ambient air.
The room tempera-
ture drops too low.
Operation of the appliance can
cause the room temperature
to fall by 1 to 3°C. If the room
temperature falls by more
than 5°C, check the room size
(see the "Specification/Data
table" chapter). Increasing the
room size by opening a door
to another room will remedy
this.
Service/fault sym-
bol is permanently
on.
See the "Fault codes"
chapter.
See the "Fault codes" chapter.
Problem Cause Remedy
Service/fault sym-
bol flashes and
the water does not
heat up.
See the "Fault codes"
chapter.
See the "Fault codes" chapter.
Defrost symbol is
shown.
The appliance is in defrost
mode.
No action required.
The heat pump
symbol is flashing.
There is a heat demand,
but the compressor is
locked out.
No action required. The com-
pressor restarts automatically
after the compressor lockout
time has elapsed. The com-
pressor lockout time lasts
20minutes once the compres-
sor has been shut down. The
symbol stops flashing auto-
matically.
The electric emer-
gency/booster
heater symbol is
flashing.
A temperature controller
has switched off the elec-
tric emergency/booster
heater during quick he-
at-up.
No action required. The ap-
pliance continues the quick
heat-up process using the
heat pump. The symbol stops
flashing when the controller
re-enables the electric emer-
gency/booster heater. The
symbol extinguishes when the
temperature throughout the
DHW cylinder reaches the set
temperature of 65°C.
Fault code
You can call up a fault code if the Service/fault symbol is flashing
or continuously lit on the display.
Repeatedly press the "Menu" key until
the fault code is shown after set tempe-
rature2.

The sensor at the cylinder top is
faulty. The actual temperature
display changes over to the
integral sensor. The appliance
continues to deliver heat. The
amount of mixed water shown
is always less than 10 litres.

conti-

illumina-
ted
The integral sensor is faulty.
In the event of a faulty integral
sensor, the integral sensor is
set to the value of the sensor at
the cylinder top, and amount of
mixed water is calculated using
this value. The appliance conti-
nues to deliver heat.
We recommend installing
a replacement sensor. The
replacement sensor must
be activated in the appli-
ance menu.
