6 Servicing

6.2 Cleaning the Heat Exchanger

IMPORTANT: When removing and replacing the heat

exchanger take care not to damage it.

Take care not to damage the heat exchanger fins. Any

damage will lead to premature wear in the system.

Refer to section 4.5 and open the unit and remove the filters

then the front panel.

Hold the heat exchanger with both hands at the edges

and without damaging the fins, carefully pull out the heat

exchanger, see diagram 6.2.

Clean the heat exchanger with a washing liquid with neutral

pH and lukewarm water, then rinse it again with clear

lukewarm water.

NOTE: detergents, especially acidic detergents (such as

vinegar cleaner), damage the unit.

The heat exchanger must be dry before replacement.

With the removed heat exchanger check as well if the

condensate water drain is clean, if necessary clean as

described below.

Slide the heat exchanger back into the unit. Take care that

the heat exchanger correctly fits into the guide rails at the

top and bottom of the housing and that it is not installed off

centre.

IMPORTANT: The heat exchanger must be flush with the

front side of the EPP body. A protruding heat exchanger can

cause leakages and condensate escape.

6.3 Cleaning the Condensate Drain

With the heat exchanger removed.

Unscrew the condensate drain trap from the bottom of the

unit, see diagram 4.2.

Check if the drain is free, see diagram 6.3.

Clean it if is blocked.

If required, clean any dirt in the drain pan.

Clean the condensate drain trap and fill it with clean water.

6.4 Cleaning or Replacing the Bypass

Filter

Bypass, if fitted.

See diagram 6.3 for the location of the bypass filter.

If the filter is not heavily soiled, you may clean it with a

normal vacuum cleaner.

If this is not enough, the filter must be replaced.

Cleaning the filter with water or other liquids is expressly

prohibited.

6.5 Test Operation and Restart

After servicing check the correct functioning of the unit:

Check that the unit casing is correctly fitted.

Insert the mains plug into the plug socket and start the

unit.

Check the correct function of the unit.

Check the correct function of the remote control.
