Maintenance

Winterising
Press and hold to turn off the appliance
Disconnect the power supply
Close valves A and C and open valves D and E (if present)
Drain the water from the condenser to avoid any risk of freezing
Put the aired winterising micro cover

• ln the case of full winterising for the pool (complete shutdown of the filtration system, bleed the filtration circuit or even pool drainage): re-fit the two connectors by one turn to prevent any foreign bodies from getting into the condenser.
• ln the case of winterising for the heat pump only (shutdown of the heating only, the filtration keeps running): do not tighten the connectors but add 2 caps (provided) on the condenser’s water inlets and outlets.
• Put the aired winterising micro cover (provided) on the heat pump passing the hydraulics connections up through the opening provided for that purpose. It is not necessary to disconnect hydraulic and electrical connections.
• **** Winterising is vital to prevent the condenser breaking due to freezing (freezing without winterising is not covered by the warranty).
• To avoid damaging the appliance with condensation, do not fully caver it; use the provided winterising caver.

Maintenance

• Make sure that the ventilation grid is not blocked by any foreign bodies.
• Clean the evaporator using a soft brush and a fresh water spray (disconnect the power cable).
• Clean the condensate drainage line to remove any impurities that may be blocking it.
• Make sure that the switch box’s ventilation grid is clean.
• Do not use a high pressure jet. Do not spray with rain water, salt water or water which is full of minerais.
• Clean the outside of the appliance; do not use any solvent-based products. You can use a specific cleaning kit as an accessory: the PAC NET.
• **** Do not disconnect the electricity supply when the appliance is running. If the electric power supply is interrupted, wait a minute before restoring power to the appliance.
• Before any maintenance, troubleshooting or repair operation, deactivating the modem’s Wi-Fi connection is recommended to avoid any risk of the appliance being remotely controlled.
• lt is recommended that the appliance undergo general servicing at least on a yearly basis to ensure proper operation, maintain performance levels and potentially prevent certain failures.
  These operations are carried out at the user’s expense by a technician.

**** Refer to the online manual for further details about safety instructions relative to R32 refrigerant and maintenance tasks that have to be carried out by a qualified technician.

Troubleshooting

• Before you contact the retailer, carry out these few simple checks if a problem occurs. If the problem is not resolved, contact your retailer.
• : Actions to be performed by a qualified technician only.

Appliance behaviour

The appliance does not start heating straight away| • When the water flow rate is zero or is not enough, the appliance stops: check that the water is circulating correctly in the appliance and that the hydraulic connections are correct.
• The appliance stops when the outdoor temperature falls below -7 °C.
---|---
The appliance is discharging water| • To check that the water is not coming from a leak in the pool circuit on the appliance, shut it down and run the filter pump to circulate water in the appliance. If the water continues to flow through the condensate drainage lines, there is a water leak in the appliance: contact your retailer.
The evaporator is iced over| • The appliance will soon switch to its defrost cycle to melt the ice.
• If the appliance cannot manage to defrost its evaporator, it will stop itself; this means that the outdoor temperature is too low (below -7°C).
The appliance is ‘‘smoking’’| • If there is no display, check the supply voltage and the F1 fuse.
• When the water flow rate is zero or is not enough, the appliance stops: check that the water is circulating correctly in the appliance.
The fan is running but the compressor stops
from time to time with no error message| • If the outdoor temperature is low, the appliance will perform defrost cycles.
• The appliance is unable to capture enough calories as its evaporator is clogged with dirt. Clean it to restore its performances.
The appliance is working but the water temperature does not increase| • The operating mode is not powerful enough (appliance in ‘‘SILENCE’’ or ‘‘SMART’’ mode). Switch to ‘‘BOOST’’ mode and set the filtration to 24/24 manual while the temperature rises.
• Check that the automatic filling valve is not stuck in open position; this will keep supplying cold water into the pool and will prevent the temperature from rising.
• There is too much heat loss as the air is cool. lnstall a heat insulated cover on the pool.
• The appliance is unable to capture enough calories as its evaporator is clogged with dirt. Clean it to restore its performances.
• Check that the appliance is the right size for this pool and its environment.
The appliance trips the circuit breaker| • Check that the circuit breaker is correctly dimensioned and that the cable section used is correct.
•  The supply voltage is too low; contact your electricity supplier .
