3.1.1.2 - Condensates drainage
When the appliance is running in frost protection mode,
the condensed water must be drained o . In order for the
condensates to drain properly, the drainage trough and hole must
be kept clean and free of any debris such as leaves or grass.
If the condensates drainage pipe is connected to the rainwater
drainage system we would advise you to use a siphon.
Do not use tools to remove ice, this could damage the heat
exchanger.
The Heat Pump comes with a transparent, exible drainage pipe
for the condensates (20 / 25mm Ø) which does not overlap onto
the outside.
Before activating the appliance, this exible pipe must be
connected to one of the two holes which are provided for this
purpose:
- Remove the back panel of the Heat Pump
- Position the pipe in the place you have chosen after
drilling a hole in the grommet
a - Draining from underneath the Heat Pump
This solution is recommended for minimsing the risk of ice at
the condensates drainage point
b - Draining from the back of the Heat Pump
is an acceptable solution but in this case an external heater
cable needs to be connected (Ref. 751004). Please refer to §
"Heater cable for external condensates drainage" and also the
instructions which are provided with it.

3.1.1.3 - Heater cable for external
condensate drainage
The Heat Pump is built with the option of adding a heater cable
to prevent any frost forming on the condensates drainage circuit.
This heater cable (option Ref.751004) is connected in the electrical
box on the terminals marked CC on the electronics board. It must
be installed in accordance with the instructions supplied with it,
in or around the condensates drainage pipe, on the outside of the
Heat Pump.
