Panasonic Aquarea PAW-DHWM200A Notice D'utilisation page 38

WARNINGS!
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 taught about safe use of the appliance and if they are
aware of the potential dangers.
Children should not play with the appliance.
Children should not clean or maintain the appliance without supervision.
In time of transport, the heat pump must be placed in the upright position and can be leant up to 35° in all directions
upon exception.
The heat pump must not be placed in a closed space, containing corrosive and explosive materials.
The connection of the heat pump to the power supply must be performed in accordance with the standards for
electrical installations. An appliance for the disconnection from the electrical network must be installed between the
heat pump and the electrical network in accordance with the national installation regulations.
In avoidance of aggregate damage the heat pump must not operate without water in the tank.
The installation should be performed in accordance with the valid regulations and the instructions of the manufacturer.
It should be performed by a professionally trained installation expert.
It is obligatory to install a safety valve with a rated pressure of 1 Mpa (10 bar) on the inlet pipe of the heat pump of the
closed pressure system to prevent the elevation of pressure in the tank by more than 0.1 MPa (1 bar) above the rated
pressure.
Water may drip from the outlet opening of the safety valve, so the outlet opening should be set 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 controls to remove limescale and
make sure the safety valve is not blocked.
Do not install a stop valve between the heat pump and the safety valve, because it will impair the pressure protection
of the storage tank!
Elements of the electronic control unit are under voltage even after the heat pump has been switched off (9).
The storage tank is protected in case of failure of the operating thermostat with an additional thermal cut-out. In
case of thermostat failure water in the storage tank may reach the temperature of up to 130°C in accordance with
safety standards. The possibility of such temperature overload should be taken into consideration in the execution of
plumbing.
Should 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 of the tank. For this purpose, a special fitting (T-fitting)
with an outlet valve must be mounted between the safety valve and the inlet pipe.
Please, do not try to fix any defects of the heat pump on your own. Call the nearest authorised service provider.
Connection of the heat pump to the same pipeline whit the kitchen vent, the ventilation system of smaller apartments
is not allowed.
The decline in temperature of an additional heating source and the enabled water circulation via the heat exchanger
can cause an uncontrolled removal of heat 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 sources of solar energy as an external heating source the aggregate of the heat pump must
be disconnected. The combination of both heating systems can lead to overheating of water and consequently to
excessive pressure.
Circulation leads to additional heat loss in the water tank.
Our products incorporate components that are both environmentally safe and harmless to health, so they can be
disassembled as easily as possible and recycled once they reach their final life stage.
Recycling of materials reduces the quantity of waste and the need for production of raw materials (e.g. metals) which
requires a substantial amount of energy and causes release of harmful substances. Recycling procedures reduce the
consumption of natural resources, as the waste parts made of plastic and metal can be returned to various production
processes.
For more information on waste disposal, please visit your waste collection centre or the store where the product was
purchased.
