Troubleshooting

Characteristics

• 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 the appliance is not in its defrost cycle, this is not normal. Switch off and disconnect the appliance immediately and contact your retailer .
The appliance is not working|

• 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. 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. Install 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 .

Refer to the online manual for further details about error codes display and the wiring diagrams.
