LEK
Keep free of snow and/or ice.
Cleaning the outer casing
If necessary the outer casing can be cleaned using a damp cloth.
Care must be exercised so that the heat pump is not scratched when
cleaning. Avoid spraying water into the grilles or the sides so that water
penetrates into F2040. Prevent F2040 coming into contact with alkaline
cleaning agents.
In event of long power cuts
In the event of prolonged power failures it is recommended that the part
of the heating system located outdoors is drained. Your installer has in-
stalled a shut off and drain valve to facilitate this. Call and ask your installer
if you are unsure.
Saving tips
Your heat pump installation produces heat and cooling and/or hot water.
This occurs via the control settings you made.
Factors that affect the energy consumption are, for example, indoor tem-
perature, hot water consumption, the insulation level of the house and
whether the house has many large window surfaces. The position of the
house, e.g. wind exposure is also an affecting factor.
Also remember:
႑
Open the thermostat valves completely (except in the rooms that are
to be kept cooler for various reasons, e.g. bedrooms). The thermostats
slow the flow in the heating system, which the heat pump wants to
compensate with increased temperatures. It then works harder and
consumes more electrical energy.
