22 Maintenance
NOTE
We recommend that you sign a maintenance
agreement with an accredited heating
company.
22.1 Basic principles
The cooling circuit of the heat pump requires no
regular maintenance.
Local regulations – e.g. EU Regulation (EC) 517/2014 –
among other things, require leak checks beforehand
and/or for a logbook to be kept for certain heat pumps.
The hermetic tightness and refrigerant ll quantity are
criteria for whether a logbook has to be kept and leak
tests performed or not, and at what time intervals.
► Ensure compliance with local regulations with
regard to the specic heat pump system.
22.2 Maintenance as required
● Checking and cleaning the components of the
heating circuit and the heat source, e.g. valves,
expansion vessels, circulation pumps, lters, dirt
traps
● Test the function of the safety valve for the heat-
ing circuit
22.3 Clean and ush the evaporator
and condenser
► Clean and ush the evaporator/condenser strictly
according to the manufacturer’s regulations.
► After ushing the evaporator/condenser with
chemical cleaning product: neutralise any
residues and ush the evaporator/condenser
thoroughly with water.
22.4 Yearly maintenance
► Record the quality of the heating water analytically.
In case of deviations from the specications, take
suitable measures without delay.
23 Faults
► Read out the cause of the fault via the diagnostics
program of the heating and heat pump controller.
► Contact the local partner of the manufacturer or the

24 Dismantling and Disposal
24.1 Dismantling
► Collect all media safely.

► Dispose of media harmful to the environment
according to local regulations, e.g. antifreeze
mixture, refrigerant.
► Recycle or ensure proper disposal of unit
components and packaging materials according
to local regulations.
24.3 Removal of the buer battery
