► Checks and connection The refrigeration circuit is very sensitive to dust and humidity: check that the area around the connection is clean and dry before Liaison removing the plugs protecting the refrigeration connection Azote Nitrogen connectors. Indicated blowing value: 6 bar for minimum 30 seconds for connection of 20 m.
► Filling the installation with gas This operation is reserved for installers familiar with the legislation for handling refrigerants. Creating a vacuum with a calibrated vacuum pump is essential (see APPENDIX 1). Never use equipment used previously with any refrigerant other than a HFC. Only remove the refrigeration circuit caps when performing the refrigeration connections.

▼ Recovering the refrigerant in the outdoor unit Before performing any maintenance, make sure that all power supplies have been cut off. Stored energy: after cutting off the power supplies, wait for 1 minute before accessing the internal parts of the equipment. Perform the following procedures to collect the refrigerant.
Hydraulic connections ► Connecting the hydraulic unit to the heating circuit ▼ Flushing the installation Before connecting the hydraulic unit to the installation, rinse out the heating system correctly to eliminate any particles that may affect the appliance's correct operation.
▼ Volume of the heating system You must maintain the minimum installation water volume. Install a buffer tank on the return from the heating circuit in case the volume is lower than this value. Where the system is fitted with one or more thermostatic valves, you must ensure that this minimum water volume is able to circulate.
► Heating circulation pump speed settings 1 mbar = 10 mmCE = 100 Pa Variable pressure The circulation pump varies the water pressure depending on the flow rate.
