• General remarks on electrical connections
It is essential to maintain neutral-phase polarity when
making electrical connections.
Rigid wires are preferable for xed installations,
particularly in a building.
Tighten the cables using the cable glands to prevent the
feed wires from being accidentally disconnected.
The earth connection and its continuity must be ensured.
• Connecting to screw terminals
" The use of ring, spade or blade terminals or
caps is prohibited.
- Always select wire that complies with current standards.
- Bare the end of the wire to around 25 mm.
- With round end pliers, form a loop with a diameter
which matches the tightening screws on the terminal.
- Tighten the terminal screw rmly onto the loop created.
Insucient tightening can cause overheating, leading
to breakdown or even re.

• Specications of electricity supply
The electrical installation must be carried out in
accordance with current regulations.
Electrical connections will only be made once all other
installation operations (fastening, assembly, etc.) have
been completed.
" Warning!
The contract signed with the energy provider must
be sucient not only to cover the heat pump's power
requirements but also the combined sum of all the
appliances likely to be operating at the same time. If the
power is too low, check the power rating stated in your
contract with your energy provider.
Never use a power socket for the power supply.
The heat pump must be supplied directly with power
(without external switch) by special protected leads
from the electric panel via dedicated bipolar circuit
breakers, C curve for the outdoor unit, C curve for
the electrical heating and domestic water backups
(see tables page 39).
The electrical installation must be tted with a 30mA RCD.
This appliance is designed to operate using a nominal
voltage of 230 V +/- 10%, 50 Hz.
