3. GENERAL INFORMATION
• During periods of Heat Pump operation, notably during
defrost cycles, a plume of steam may be visible. This is
normal and due to moisture and/or ice formation evaporating.
• During periods of Heat Pump operation, the appliance will
produce condensate water, a suitable disposal system and
drainage point shall be installed.
• During periods of Heat Pump operation, both the evaporator
fan and compressor speed will change, dependent upon the
prevailing conditions and heat output level required. Due to
this there may be a noticeable change in the appliance noise
levels and tone which is normal.
• The area directly around the Heat Pump should be kept
clear at all times. Any items that may restrict the airow to
the Heat Pump such as leaves, litter etc. should be removed
immediately as these may negatively a󰀨ect the operational
e󰀩ciency.
• The area directly around the Logic Air Control Box should
be kept clear at all times. Items such as wet laundry should
not be placed upon the control box and general clearances
illustrated within the Installation Manual must be respected.
CLEANING
ᘐ CAUTION: The Heat Pump contains sensitive
components that may be damaged by the use of hose pipes
or high-pressure washers.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials and harsh solvents
/ cleaning solutions.
Logic Air Monobloc Heat Pump Casing:
For normal cleaning of the Heat Pump casing use a weak soap
spray solution only. Rinse o󰀨 soap spray solution with a Low-
pressure hose or Low-pressure spray bottle only.
Logic Air Control Box:
For normal cleaning simply dust with a dry cloth. For stubborn
marks and stains, wipe with a damp cloth and nish with a dry cloth.
Logic Air Domestic Hot Water Cylinder:
For normal cleaning simply dust with a dry cloth. For stubborn
marks and stains, wipe with a damp cloth and nish with a dry cloth.
MAINTENANCE
The frequency of servicing will depend upon the installation
condition and usage, but it should be carried out at least annually
by a competent Heat Pump engineer.
4. BASIC HEAT PUMP OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The Heat Pump contains a sealed and closed loop refrigerant
circuit which contains a mildly ammable refrigerant R-32. When
operating, refrigerant is continuously circulated by a compressor
where it absorbs heat from the outdoor air which is passed
through a heat exchanger and transferring that heat to water
which is used in heating and hot water systems.

The circuit consists of four main components/functions.
1. Evaporator Heat Exchanger - Refrigerant absorbs heat
energy from the outdoor ambient air.
2. Compressor – Refrigerant is compressed and circulated
around the closed loop circuit.
3. Condenser Heat Exchanger – Refrigerant transfers heat
energy to the heating or hot water systems.
4. Expansion Device – Refrigerant pressure and temperature is
transformed.
