The appliance may be used by children aged 8 and older and persons with physical, sensory, or mental disabilities or lacking experience or knowledge, if they are under supervision or have been instructed on the safe use of the appliance and understand the potential dangers. Children should not play with the appliance. Children should not clean or maintain the appliance without supervision. During transport, the appliance must be kept upright. In exceptional cases, it may be tilted up to 35° in any direction. Ensure that the housing or vital parts of the product are not damaged during transport. The appliance must not be placed in a closed space containing corrosive or explosive materials. The connection of the appliance to the power supply must be carried out in accordance with electrical installation standards. A device for disconnection from the electrical network must be installed between the appliance and the electrical network in accordance with national installation regulations. To avoid damage to the heat pump power unit, never operate the appliance without water in the tank! Installation should be performed in accordance with applicable regulations and the manufacturer's instructions, and should be carried out by a professionally trained installation expert. In the case of a closed pressurized system, it is mandatory to install a safety valve with a rated pressure of 0.6 MPa (6 bar) on the inlet pipe of the hot water storage tank to prevent pressure in the tank from exceeding the rated pressure by more than 0.1 MPa (1 bar). ⚠️ Water may drip from the outlet opening of the safety valve. Therefore, the outlet opening should be open to atmospheric pressure. The outlet of the safety valve should be installed facing downwards and in a non-freezing area. To ensure proper functioning of the safety valve, the user should perform regular checks to remove limescale and ensure the valve is not blocked. Do not install a shut-off valve between the water tank and the safety valve, as this would disable the safety valve's operation! ⚠️ Components in the electronic control unit remain energized even after pressing the appliance off key. The storage tank is protected against failure of the operating thermostat by an additional thermal cut-out. In case of thermostat failure, water in the storage tank may reach temperatures up to 130 °C in accordance with safety standards. The possibility of such temperature overload should be taken into account in the plumbing design. If you choose to disconnect the power, the storage tank should be drained thoroughly before the onset of freezing conditions. ⚠️ Water from the storage tank is drained through the inlet pipe. For this purpose, a special fitting (T-fitting) with an outlet valve must be installed between the safety valve and the inlet pipe. ⚠️ Please do not attempt to fix any defects on your own. Contact the nearest authorized service provider. A decrease in temperature of an additional heating source and enabled water circulation via the heat exchanger can cause uncontrolled heat removal from the water tank. When connecting to other heating sources, it is necessary to ensure proper temperature regulation of the additional heating source. When connecting to solar energy sources as an external heating source, the heat pump unit must be disconnected. The combination of both heating systems can lead to water overheating and consequently excessive pressure. ⚠️ Circulation leads to additional heat loss in the water tank. In models without a heater, the hot water storage tank is not protected from freezing! This appliance contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Hermetically sealed.

OTHER HEATING SOURCES - SENSOR INSTALLATION

On the left side of the hot water storage tank are two openings (J1, J2), where the sensors for the control system of the connection of the hot water tank to other heating sources are installed. The maximum diameter of the probe is 8 mm. The length of the sensor tube is 180 mm. Insert the sensor into the tube and attach it:

• If the sensor is installed in the top (higher) position, then the thermostat will respond sooner, operating intervals of the circulation pump will be shorter, and the difference between water temperature in the hot water storage tank and the heating medium after the thermostat is switched off will be smaller; as a result, the amount of hot water in the hot water storage tank will be lower.
• If you install the sensor in the bottom (lower) position, the circulation pump operating intervals will be longer, the difference between the temperature of the heating medium and the actual water temperature in the hot water storage tank will be lower, and as a result, the amount of hot water in the hot water storage tank will be greater.

Heat pump water heater is intended for operation with surrounding air. During operation, only the energy from the air in the room where the appliance is installed is used for heating the domestic hot water. The appliance may be installed in a room where temperatures are above freezing point, preferably close to other sources of heat or heating devices, with a temperature between 7 °C and 40 °C, and minimum volume of 20 m³. In general, we recommend a sufficiently large and well-ventilated room with a temperature above 15 °C, which represents ideal conditions for heat pump operation. Desired level of air exchange for a residential building is 0.5. This means that the entire amount of air in the building is exchanged every 2 hours.

When choosing the room for installing the appliance, care should also be taken, in addition to the above instructions, that there should not be a considerable amount of dust in the room, as dust has a detrimental effect on the heat pump effect.

Fig. 2: Minimum requirements for installation of the appliance

Fig. 3: Condensate discharge

During operation of the heat pump, condensate forms in the aggregate. The condensate should be drained to the sewage system via a flexible tube Ø16mm on the rear side of the heat pump. The quantity of condensate depends on air temperature and humidity. For easier and faster condensate drain, we recommend installing the water heater with a heat pump with a 2° inclination toward the drain hose (Fig. 3).

To reduce noise and vibrations of the installed fan, take the following steps to prevent the noise and vibrations from being transmitted through walls into rooms where it would be disturbing (bedrooms, restrooms):

• install flexible connectors for hydraulic jacks • Install sound insulation on the floor below the heat pump to dampen the vibrations - use support elements.

Connect the water pipeline system according to the attachment signs from the previous chapter (Fig. 1).

Installing a safety valve is mandatory in order to assure safe operation. The valve prevents an increase of the pressure in the boiler by any more than 0.1 MPa (1 bar) above the nominal pressure. The outflow nozzle on the safety valve must have an outlet into the atmosphere. To assure correct operation of the safety valve, check the valve regularly and, if necessary, remove the limescale and check that the safety valve is not blocked. When checking the valve, push the lever or unscrew the nut of the valve (depending on the type of the valve) and open the drain from the safety valve. Water must flow from the valve nozzle, showing that the valve operation is faultless. During the heating of water, the water pressure in the hot water storage tank is increased up to the level present in the safety valve. Since the system prevents backflow of water into the water supply mains, water may be dripping from the outlet opening on the safety valve. The dripping water may be drained via trap into the drains; the trap is mounted under the safety valve. The outlet pipe, which is mounted under the safety valve, must be directed downwards, in a place with a temperature above freezing.

If the installation does not allow draining of the water from the safety valve into the drains, dripping can be avoided by installing an expansion vessel onto the inlet pipe of the hot water storage tank. The volume of the expansion vessel must be ca. 5% of the hot water tank volume.

The hot water storage tank is designed for connection to indoor water supply mains without using the relief valve if the pressure in the supply mains is lower than prescribed on the appliance. If the pressure is higher, a relief valve needs to be installed so as to provide that the pressure at the inlet to the hot water tank does not exceed the nominal pressure.

To avoid damage to the heat pump power unit, the heat pump water heater must not operate without any water in the tank!

CONNECTION TO OTHER HEATING SOURCES

Heat pump water heater with a shell and tube heat exchanger in the hot water storage tank allows preparation of domestic hot water in combination with different sources of energy (e.g. central heating, solar power etc.).

Connection options to different heating sources are shown below.

Fig. 5a: Connection to central heating

Fig. 5b: Connection to a solar collector

With a temperature decline of an additional heating source and with an enabled water circulation through the heat exchanger, proper temperature control of the additional source must be ensured. If the additional energy source is solar power, the operation of the heat pump unit must be shut off. The combination of two heating sources can lead to overheating of the hot water and thus to excessive pressures. The circulation pipeline causes additional temperature decline in the hot water storage tank.

CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY NETWORK

Appliance connection requires an electrical outlet suitable for the current load specified in the technical information table. Connecting the appliance to the power supply network must take place in accordance with the standards for electric appliances. To comply with national installation regulations, an all-pole disconnect switch must be installed between the appliance and the power supply network.

OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

After connecting the appliance to the water and power network and to the hot water storage tank filled with water, it is ready for operation. Upon connection to the supply voltage, the heat pump switches to standby mode. In standby mode, the heat pump maintains a water temperature of 10 °C.

The heat pump heats the water in the range from 10 °C to 65 °C. From 65 °C to 75 °C, the water is heated by an electric heater.

Heat pump on/off

Switch on the heat pump by pressing the key and holding it (for 3 seconds).

Press and hold (for 3 s) the key again to switch the heat pump to standby mode.

Temperature adjustment

Use the [1] key to set the desired temperature (factory setting is 55 °C). Water temperature can be set in the range from 10 °C to 75 °C with 5 °C increments. When the maximum level of 75 °C is reached, the next time you press the [1] key, the setting returns to the minimum level of 10 °C. We recommend the "eco" setting. With this setting, water temperature will be at approximately 55 °C, and formation of limescale deposits and heat losses will be lower than at higher temperature settings. When you last press the [1] key, the setting is stored. After a while (approx. 5 seconds), the current temperature in the hot water storage tank is displayed on the display unit [3].

If the appliance is disconnected from the power mains and there is a danger of freezing, then water has to be drained from the hot water storage tank.

The table below shows the LED lighting for respective temperature levels.

Power supply failure protection

In case of power supply failure, the settings remain permanently stored.

After restart, the appliance operates in the same regime as before the power supply failure.

Activation of the "TURBO" mode

This operating mode is suitable especially when you need a large amount of hot water quickly. In the "TURBO" mode, the water in the hot water storage tank is heated with the heat pump and the electric heater simultaneously. This means faster heating of water to the set temperature.

You can choose between one-off and continuous activation of the "TURBO" function.

For one-off activation, briefly press the [2] key. Operation in the "TURBO" mode is indicated by the indicator [4] which is lit until water in the hot water storage tank is heated to the set temperature. When the temperature is reached, the function is switched off automatically and the indicator [1] is turned off.

For constant activation, press and hold (3 seconds) the key [2]. Operation in the constant "TURBO" mode is indicated by the indicator [4] that is lit. When the temperature is reached, the function is not switched off automatically. To deactivate the function, briefly press the [3] key, and the indicator will be turned off.

During operation of the "TURBO" function, the user can set the temperature, deactivate the function, and switch off the appliance.

Anti-Legionella program

If the water in the hot water storage tank is below 65 °C for 14 days, the anti-Legionella program is activated to heat the water in the hot water storage tank to a temperature of 70 °C. During the anti-Legionella program operation, respective segments will be consecutively lit on the display unit 3, as indicated on Figure 9. During operation of the anti-Legionella program, temperature setting is not possible; however, the "TURBO" function can be activated and deactivated.

If the appliance is switched off or there is a power supply failure while the anti-Legionella program is in progress, the anti-Legionella program will resume when the appliance is switched back on or power supply to the appliance is restored.

Fig. 9: Indication of the anti-Legionella program

Warning: after heating up in the anti-Legionella program, the temperature of the water in the tank is 65 °C or more, regardless of the temperature set for the appliance.

Switching the anti-Legionella program on and off

Press and hold (3 seconds) the 1 key to switch off the heat pump. The electronic controls switch to standby mode. Press the 1 key briefly for seven (7) times to display the current anti-Legionella function status. The function status is indicated by LED1 or LED7. If LED1 is lit, then the anti-Legionella program function is switched off (Figure 10b). If LED7 is lit, then the anti-Legionella program function is switched on (Figure 10a). Briefly press the 1 key again to change the setting. The setting is stored when the 1 key is not pressed for 5 seconds. The electronic controls return to standby mode. Press and hold (for 3 seconds) the 1 key to switch on the appliance again.

Backup operating mode

If the inlet air temperature is lower than 7 °C or higher than 40 °C, the appliance switches to backup operating mode. The compressor and fan do not operate, and the electric heater is switched on the heat the domestic hot water. The heat pump water heater operates in the backup operating mode. Possibility to switch to normal operating regime is checked cyclically. When the temperature conditions for normal heat pump operation are met, the appliance switches to normal operating regime. The heater is then switched off. Operation in the backup regime is indicated by the 4 indicator that flashes until the appliance switches to normal operating regime.

Special aspects of heat pump operation

After the heat pump is switched on, the compressor and the fan always operate for at least 5 minutes (minimum compressor operation time).

After the heat pump is switched off, the compressor and the fan are switched off for at least 20 minutes (minimum compressor down (off) time). If there is a request for compressor activation within this period of time, the compressor is not switched on. LED4 slowly flashes on the display unit 3 (Figure 11) (5-second interval). After the down (off) time, the compressor and the fan are switched on automatically. Current temperature level of the water in the tank is displayed on the display unit 3. Temperature adjustment, activation of the "TURBO" function, and switching off of the appliance are possible while the compressor is off.

Error indication

In case of an error, the control lamps start flashing on the display unit [3]. Temperature adjustment and activation of the "TURBO" function are not possible while errors are displayed or indicated; the appliance can only be switched off.

Error	Error description	Indication	Solution
E2	Temperature sensor error (heat pump)	Repeated 2x rapid flashing of the indicator 3	Call service (Heat pump operates nevertheless).
E3	Temperature sensor error (electric heater)	Repeated 3x rapid flashing of the indicator 3	Call service (The heat pump operates, but the electric heater does not operate.)
E4 Temperature sensor error (evaporator)		Repeated 4x rapid flashing of the indicator 3	Call service (Heat pump operates nevertheless).
E5	Temperature sensor error (air)	Repeated 5x rapid flashing of the indicator 3	Call service (Heat pump operates nevertheless).
E6	Overheating (Temperature >90 °C)	Repeated 6x rapid flashing of the indicator 3	Disconnect the heat pump from the power mains; call service.

If several errors occur simultaneously, they are displayed on the display unit 3 in succession (e.g. in case of simultaneous occurrence of errors E4 and E5, the following is displayed repeatedly: 4x rapid flashing of control lamps, pause, 5x rapid flashing of control lamps, pause).

If the errors E2 and E3 occur simultaneously, the heat pump and the electric heater do not operate. If the errors E4 and E5 occur simultaneously, the appliance switches to back-up operating mode.

After the connection to the water supply mains and other heating sources, the heat pump water heater is ready for use. If there is any possibility the water in the tank could freeze, you must drain the water from the tank. To do so, open the hot water lever at one of the mixing batteries connected to the hot water tank. The water is drained via a drain valve on the inlet water pipe.

To clean the exterior of the appliance, use a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid cleaning agents containing alcohol and abrasive cleaners. If the appliance is exposed to dust, evaporator lamellas might become blocked, which can have a detrimental effect on the functioning of the appliance.

By providing regular service check-ups, you can ensure flawless operation and long life of the heat pump. The corrosion warranty for the tank only applies if you carry out regular inspections of the protective anode. The period between regular inspections should not be longer than stated in the warranty certificate. The inspection must be performed by an authorised expert. The inspection must be marked on the warranty document of the product. The inspection will check the anti-corrosion protection anode and if necessary clean the limescale, which builds up in the tank depending on the quality, quantity and temperature of water. The maintenance expert will recommend the date for the next inspection.

Despite careful production and control, errors may occur during heat pump water heater operation, which must be resolved by an authorised service technician.

Before calling your maintenance provider, check the following:

• Is everything OK with the power supply network? • Is the air outlet obstructed? • Is the environment temperature too low or too high? - Can you hear the operation of the compressor and fan?

Do not try to eliminate malfunctions by yourself, call your nearest authorized service provider!
