8.2Cleaning the Heating System
The ingress of oxygen into the heating water circuit may result in the formation of oxidation products (rust), particularly if steel components are used. These products enter the heating system via the valves, the circulating pumps and/or plastic pipes. It is therefore essential - in particular with respect to the piping of un- derfloor heating systems - that only
ATTENTION!
We recommend the installation of a suitable corrosion protection system to prevent the formation of deposits (e.g. rust) in the condenser of the heat pump.
Residue from lubricants and sealants may also contaminate the heating water.
In the case of severe contamination leading to a reduction in the performance of the liquifier in the heat pump, the system must be cleaned by a heating technician.
According to today's state of knowledge, we recommend using a 5 % phosphoric acid solution for cleaning purposes. However, if cleaning needs to be performed more frequently, a 5 % formic acid solution should be used.
In either case, the cleaning fluid should be at room temperature. We recommend flushing the heat exchanger in the direction op- posite to the normal flow direction.
To prevent acidic cleaning agents from entering the heating sys- tem circuit, we recommend connecting the flushing device di- rectly to the flow and return flow of the liquifier of the heat pump.
It is important that the system be thoroughly flushed using appro- priate neutralising agents to prevent any damage from being caused by cleaning agent residue remaining in the system.
Acids must be used with great care and all relevant regulations of the employers' liability insurance associations must be adhered to.
If in doubt, contact the manufacturer of the chemicals!

10 Decommissioning/ Disposal
Before removing the heat pump, disconnect it from the power source and close all valves. Observe all
8.3Cleaning the Air System
Air ducts, evaporator, ventilator and condensate outflow should be cleaned of contamination (leaves, twigs, etc.) before the heat- ing period. Do this by opening the front of the heat pump. The bottom should be opened first followed by the top.
ATTENTION!
Before opening the device, ensure that all circuits are isolated from the power supply.
Remove and rehang the side panel assemblies as described in Chapter 4.
Avoid using hard or sharp objects while cleaning to prevent the evaporator and the condensate tray from being damaged.
