3.1 I Winterising
• Winterising is vital to prevent the condenser breaking due to freezing. This is not covered by
the warranty.
• To prevent condensation from damaging the appliance: cover the appliance with the
winterising cover supplied (do not hermetically-seal the appliance inside a cover).
• Deactivate the operation of the appliance by pressing and holding
powered),
• Disconnect the power supply,
• Open valve B (see § "1.2 I Hydraulic connections"),
• Close valves A and C and open valves D and E (if present, see § "1.2 I Hydraulic connections"),
• Make sure that there is no water circulating in the heat pump,
• Drain the water from the condenser (risk of freezing) by unscrewing the two water inlet and outlet connectors on the
back of the heat pump,
• In the case of full winterising for the pool (complete shutdown of the filtration system, bleed the filtration circuit
or even pool drainage): re-fit the two connectors by one turn to prevent any foreign bodies from getting into the
condenser,
• In the case of winterising for the heat pump only (shutdown of the heating only, the filtration keeps running): do not
tighten the connectors but set up the 2 protective caps (supplied) behind the hydraulic inlet/outlet connectors.
• We recommend that you put the aired winterising micro cover (provided) on the heat pump.
3.2 I Maintenance
• Before any maintenance work on the appliance, you must cut the electricity supply as there is
a risk of electric shock which may cause material damage, serious injury or even death.
• Do not disconnect the electricity supply when the appliance is running.
• If the electric power supply is interrupted, wait a minute before restoring power to the
appliance.
• It is recommended that the appliance undergo general servicing at least on a yearly basis
to ensure proper operation, maintain performance levels and potentially prevent certain
failures. These operations are carried out at the user's expense by a technician.
3.2.1 Safety instructions concerning appliances containing R32 refrigerant
Area check
• Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the
risk of ignition is minimized.
Work procedure
• Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of a flammable gas or vapor being
present while the work is being performed.
General work area
• AIl maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work being carried out.
Work in confined spaces shall be avoided.
Check for the presence of refrigerant
• The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work, to ensure the technician
is aware of potentially toxic or flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is
suitable for use with all applicable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
Check for the presence of a fire extinguisher
• If any work involving heat is to be conducted on the refrigerating equipment or any associated parts, appropriate
fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2, fire extinguisher adjacent to the
charging area.
No source of ignition
• No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigerating system which involves exposing any pipe work shall use
any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources,
