physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack
of experience and knowledge if they are given
correct supervision or instruction on using the
appliance in complete safety and understand the
hazards involved. Children must not play with
the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
should not be carried out by children without
adult supervision.

Caution

Installation of the thermodynamic water heater
must be done by a qualified professional, in
accordance with prevailing local and national
regul

ations.

Caution

Install the thermodynamic water heater on frost­free premises.

Danger of electric shock

Before any work, switch off the mains electricity
supply to the thermodynamic water heater.

Warning

Take precautions with the domestic hot
water. Depending on the settings of the
thermodynamic water heater, the domestic hot
water temperature may exceed 65°C.

Caution

Only genuine spare parts may be used.

Caution

Do not neglect to service the thermodynamic
water heater. Service the appliance regularly to
ensure that it operates correctly.

Note

Keep the water heater and the heat pump
accessible at all times.

1 Safety Instructions

Note

Never remove or cover the labels and data
plates affixed to appliances. Labels and data
plates must be legible throughout the entire
lifetime of the appliance.

Immediately replace damaged or illegible
instructions and warning stickers.

Caution

If the home is unoccupied for a long period and
there is a risk of frost, drain the water heater.

Note

Remove the casing only to perform maintenance
and repair work. Put the casing back in place
after maintenance and repair work.

Note

Keep this document close to the place where
the appliance is installed.

1.2 Instructions on the hydraulic connections

Warning

Do not touch the refrigeration connection pipes
with your bare hands while the thermodynamic
water heater is running. Danger of burn or frost
injury.

Warning

Refrigerant fluid and pipes:

● Use only R-134a

refrigerant fluid to fill the

system.

● Use tools and pipe components especially
designed for use with R-134a refrigerant fluid.

● Use copper pipes deoxidised with phosphorus
to carry the refrigerant fluid.

● Use beading to guarantee the tightness of the
connections.

● Store the refrigerant connection pipes away
from dust and humidity (risk of damage to the
compressor).

● Cover both ends of the pipes until the beading
process.

● Do not use a load cylinder.

1 Safety Instructions

Note

● The appliance is intended to be permanently
connected to the water mains.

● Maximum / minimum water inlet pressure:
See chapter on Technical Specifications.

● The pressure limiter device must be regularly
operated in order to remove limescale
deposits and ensure that it is not blocked.

● Draining: Shut off the domestic cold water
inlet. Open a hot water tap in the installation
and then open the valve on the safety unit.
When the water stops flowing, the appliance
has been drained.

● A pressure reducer (not provided) is
necessary when the the supply pressure
exceeds 80% of the calibration of the safety
valve or safety unit and it must be located
upstream of the appliance.

● As water may flow out of the discharge pipe
on the pressure limiter device,
the discharge pipe must be kept clear and
open.

● Connect the pressure limiter device to a
drainage pipe, kept open to the air, in a
frost-free environment, and at a continuous
downward gradient.

Danger

In the event of a refrigerant leakage:
1 Do not use a naked flame, do not smoke, do

not operate electrical contacts or switches
(doorbell, light, motor, lift, etc.).

2 Open the windows.
3 Switch off the appliance.
4 Avoid contact with the refrigerant. Danger of

frost injuries.

5 Locate the probable leak and seal it

immediately.

Warning

● Ensure correct earthing.

● Heating water and domestic water must not
come into contact with each other.

● A disconnection device must be fitted
to permanent pipes in accordance with
installation rules.

● If the power cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its after sales
service or persons with similar qualifications in
order to obviate any danger.

● This appliance must not be powered through
an external switch, such as a timer, or be
connected to a circuit which is regularly
switched on and off by the electricity provider.

● Install the appliance in accordance with
national rules on electrical installation.

● Wiring diagram: See chapter on Electrical
Principle Diagram.

● Connecting the appliance to the mains: See
chapter on Electrical Connections.

● Fuse type et calibre: See chapter on Electrical
Connections.

● Regarding information on installation on
the appliance, electrical connection and
connection of the water circuit, refer to the
paragraphs below in this manual.

● Regarding information on handling, servicing
and scrapping the appliance, refer to the
paragraphs below in this manual.

Note

In order to limit the risk of being scalded, the
installation of a thermostatic mixing valve on the
domestic hot water flow pipes is recommended.
