4.2 Heat pump (outdoor unit)
The heat pump requires very little in the way of inspection and
maintenance. The following inspection and maintenance steps are
carried out several times per year in order that the heat pump's
maximum output will be maintained:
• Remove soiling and foliage at the evaporator and casing.
DANGER
Risk of electric shock.
▶ Always de-energize the electrical connection before carrying out
maintenance work on the device (fuse, circuit breaker).
Damage to system due to use of unsuitable cleaning agents!
▶ Do not use acidic or alkaline cleaning agents or cleaning agents
containing chlorine or abrasive products.
4.2.1 Removing dirt and leaves
▶ Remove dirt and leaves with a brush.
4.2.2 Casing
Dust and other dirt particles concentrate in the heat pump's outdoor unit
over time.
▶ If required, clean the outside with a damp cloth.
▶ Spot repair cracks and damage on the casing with anti-corrosive
paint.
▶ Standard car wax can be applied to protect the paint.
4.2.3 Evaporator
Wash off any layers of e.g. dust or dirt deposited on the surface of the
evaporator.
WARNING
The thin aluminium fins are sensitive and can be damaged easily through
incorrect handling. Never dry the fins directly with a cloth.
▶ Wear protective gloves during cleaning to protect your hands from
cuts.
▶ Never use water pressure that is too high.
Damage to system due to use of unsuitable cleaning agents!
▶ Do not use acidic cleaning agents or cleaning agents containing
chlorine or abrasive products.
▶ Do not use strong alkaline cleaning agents, e.g. sodium hydroxide.
Cleaning the evaporator:
▶ Spray detergent on the evaporator fins on the back of the heat pump.
▶ Rinse all coatings and cleaning agents off completely with water.
4.2.4 Snow and ice
In certain geographical regions or during periods of heavy snow, snow
can get stuck on the back and the top of the heat pump. To prevent
subsequent formation of ice, remove the snow.
▶ Clear the snow off the top.
▶ Hot water can be used to rinse off the ice.
Moisture can form under the outdoor unit due to condensate not falling
into the condensation catch pan. This is normal and no special action is
required.

Packaging
Where packaging is concerned, we participate in country-specific
recycling processes that ensure optimum recycling.
All of our packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be
recycled.
Used appliances
Used appliances contain valuable materials that can be recycled.
The various assemblies can be easily dismantled. Synthetic materials are
marked accordingly. Assemblies can therefore be sorted by composition
and passed on for recycling or disposal.
Old electrical and electronic appliances
This symbol means that the product must not be disposed
of with other waste, and instead must be taken to the waste
collection points for treatment, collection, recycling and
disposal.
The symbol is valid in countries where waste electrical and
electronic equipment regulations apply, e.g. "European Directive 2012/
19/EC on old electronic and electrical appliances". These regulations
define the framework for the return and recycling of old electronic
appliances that apply in each country.
As electronic devices may contain hazardous substances, it needs to be
recycled responsibly in order to minimize any potential harm to the
environment and human health. Furthermore, recycling of electronic
scrap helps preserve natural resources.
For additional information on the environmentally compatible disposal
of old electrical and electronic appliances, please contact the relevant
local authorities, your household waste disposal service or the retailer
where you purchased the product.
