1 Safety
1.1 Action-related warnings
Classification of action-re-
lated warnings
The action-related warnings
are classified in accordance
with the severity of the possible danger using the following
warning signs and signal words:
Warning symbols and signal
words
Danger!
Imminent danger to life
or risk of severe personal
injury
Danger!
Risk of death from electric
shock
Warning.
Risk of minor personal
injury
Caution.
Risk of material or environmental damage
1.2 General safety
information
1.2.1 Danger caused by
improper operation
Improper operation may present
a danger to you and others, and
cause material damage.
▶ Carefully read the enclosed
instructions and all other applicable documents, particu-
larly the "Safety" section and
the warnings.
1.2.2 Risk of death due
to explosions and
scaldings from brine
fluid
The brine fluid ethylene and
propylene glycol is extremely
flammable, both as liquid and
steam. A potentially explosive
combination of steam/air may
form.
▶ Keep away from heat, sparks,
naked flames and hot surfaces.
▶ Prevent steam/air mixtures
from forming. Keep brine fluid
vessels closed.
▶ Observe the safety data sheet
that accompanies the brine
fluid.
1.2.3 Danger due to improper
use
There is a risk of injury or death
to the user or others, or of damage to the product and other
property in the event of improper use or use for which it
is not intended.
Only use the product in accordance with the provisions.

1.2.4 Preventing the risk of
injury from corrosive
brine fluid
The brine fluid ethylene glycol is
harmful to health.
▶ Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes.
▶ Always wear gloves and pro-
tective goggles.
▶ Do not inhale or swallow.
▶ Observe the safety data sheet
that accompanies the brine
fluid.
1.2.5 Preventing the risk of
injury due to scalding
from hot and cold
components
Particularly in the coolant circuit, the components of the heat
pump can reach high temperatures or extremely low temperatures.
▶ Do not touch any uninsulated
pipelines in any part of the
heating installation.
▶ Do not remove any casing
sections.
1.2.6 Risk of being scalded by
hot drinking water
There is a risk of scalding at
the hot water draw-off points
if the hot water temperatures
are greater than 50 °C. Young
children and elderly persons are
particularly at risk, even at lower
temperatures.
▶ Select the temperature so
that nobody is at risk.
1.2.7 Risk of death due to lack
of safety devices
A lack of safety devices (e.g.
expansion relief valve, expansion vessel) can lead to potentially fatal scalding and other
injuries, e.g. due to explosions.
▶ Have your competent person
check that all required isolator
devices are present in your
heating installation.
1.2.8 Preventing the risk of
injury from freezing
as a result of touching
coolant
The product is delivered with
an operational filling of R410A
coolant. This is a chlorine-free
coolant which does not affect
the Earth's ozone layer. R410A
is neither a fire hazard nor an
explosion risk. Escaping coolant
may cause freezing if the exit
point is touched.
▶ If coolant escapes, do not
touch any components of the
product.
▶ Do not inhale any steam or
gases that escape from the
coolant circuit as a result of
leaks.
Safety 1

▶ Avoid skin or eye contact with
the coolant.
▶ In the event of skin or eye
contact with the coolant, seek
medical advice.
1.2.9 Danger due to
changes to the product
environment
There is a risk of injury or
death to the user or others, or
of damage to the product and
other property, in the event
of changes to the product
environment.
Changes must not be made to
the following equipment:
– The heat pump
– The heat pump environment
– The drain line and expansion
relief valve for the heating
water
– The water and electricity sup-
ply lines
– The heat pump's condensate
drain pipework
– The structural conditions that
may affect the operational
safety of the product.
1.2.10 Risk of injury and
material damage due to
incorrect maintenance
or repairs
As a result of unauthorised interference or tampering with the
product or parts of the system,
the operational safety of the
product can no longer be ensured and the guarantee therefore becomes void.
▶ Never interfere or tamper with
the product or other parts of
the system.
▶ Never try to carry out main-
tenance work or repairs on
the product yourself.
▶ Do not damage or remove
any seals on components.
Only qualified competent
persons and factory service
personnel are authorised to
make modifications to sealed
components.
▶ Have inspection and main-
tenance work carried out by a
competent person.
1.2.11 Frost damage due to an
unsuitable installation
site
Frost poses a risk of damage
to the product and the whole
heating installation.
▶ You should therefore ensure
that the heating installation
always remains in operation
during freezing conditions and
that all rooms are sufficiently
heated.
Even if rooms, or the whole
dwelling, are not in use for certain periods, the heating must
remain in operation.
1 Safety
6 Operating instructions aroTHERM 0020151761_04
Frost protection and monitoring
devices are only active while
the product is connected to
the power supply. The product
must be connected to the power
supply.
1.2.12 Frost damage caused
by insufficient room
temperature
If the room temperature is set
too low in individual rooms, it
cannot be ruled out that sections of the heating installation
might be damaged by frost.
▶ If you are going to be away
during a cold period, ensure
that the heating installation
remains in operation and that
the rooms are sufficiently
heated.
▶ You must observe the frost
protection instructions.
1.2.13 Frost damage caused
by a power cut
During installation, your competent person connected your
product to the power mains.
If the power supply is cut, it is
possible that parts of the heating installation may become
damaged by frost. If you want
to use an emergency power
generator to maintain the operational readiness of the product
during a power cut, note the following:
▶ Contact your competent per-
son for advice on installing an
emergency power generator.
▶ Ensure that the technical val-
ues of this generator (frequency, voltage, earthing)
match those of the power
mains.
1.2.14 Malfunction caused
by incorrect system
pressure
To avoid operating the system
with too little water and thus
prevent resulting damage, note
the following:
▶ Check the system pressure
of the heating installation at
regular intervals.
▶ You must observe the system
pressure instructions.
1.2.15 Malfunction due to
incorrect power supply
The power supply must remain
within the specified limits so that
the product does not malfunction:
– 1 phase: 230 V (+10/-15%)
~50 Hz
– 3 phases: 400 V (+10/-15%) 3
N ~50 Hz
