5 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION/DISPOSAL

Environmental protection is one of the fundamental company policies of

the Bosch Group.

Quality of products, efficiency and environmental protection are equally

important objectives for us. Laws and requirements aimed at protecting

the environment are strictly adhered to.

To protect the environment we will, subject to economical aspects, use

the best possible technology and materials.

PACKAGING

We participate in the recycling programmes of the countries in which our

products are sold to ensure optimum recycling.

All of our packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can

be recycled.

5.1 DISPOSING OF REFRIGERANT

The appliance is charged with R410A refrigerant.

R410A is a greenhouse gas. It must not enter the environment.

▶ If you wish to discard refrigerant, please contact your local authorities

and ask for the correct method of disposal.

5.2 APPLIANCE DISPOSAL

Old appliances contain materials that should be recycled.

The appliance is marked with the symbol.

▶ Sort and dispose of packaging materials according to the national

recycling system.

▶ Have an authorised contractor dispose of the appliance and any

accessories according to the local regulations.

▶ Do not dispose of the appliance in the normal refuse (e.g. dust bin).

▶ If the appliances have batteries or rechargeable batteries, dispose of

these separately beforehand according to local regulations.

▶ Dispose of electric and electronic equipment separately according to

local requirements.

6 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

6.1 WHAT MAKES REGULAR MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT?

Regular service is essential for the following reasons:

• to maintain a high level of efficiency and to operate the hybrid system

economically

• to achieve a high level of operational reliability.

6.2 CLEANING AND CARE

Clean the casing of the hybrid manager and the external unit with a damp

cloth (detergent solution). Never use scouring or aggressive cleaning

agents that would damage the painted surface or plastic components.

7 ENERGY SAVING TIPS

INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE

So that gas consumption and environmental impact can be kept as low

as possible for as long as possible, we recommend that you take out an

inspection and maintenance contract with an authorised contractor

covering an annual inspection and service subject to demand.

HEATING CONTROLS

With modern heating systems designed around a 20 °C heat loss across

the system. The system must be balanced correctly and the radiators

may need upgrading.

The temperature of each room can be set individually (except primary

room with the room thermostat) using the thermostatic radiator valves.

Reducing the setting of the room thermostat by 1°C can reduce fuel

consumption by up to 10%.

For further information, see the relevant installation and operating

instructions of the controller.

THERMOSTATIC VALVES

Fully open the thermostatic radiator valves in order to achieve the

required room temperature. Change the required room temperature at

the programming unit only if the temperature is not achieved after a

prolonged period.

RADIATORS

If a radiator is sited underneath a window, its performance will be

affected if the curtains are allowed to drape over the radiator.

Shelves fitted above or in front of the radiator should also be avoided.

It is advisable to manually adjust all thermostatic radiator valves every 2

- 3 months to prevent them sticking. Ensure radiator valves are correctly

set and not damaged.

UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEM

Never set the flow temperature higher than the maximum flow

temperature recommended by the manufacturer.

ROOF INSULATION

Around 30% of the heat loss from a property is through the roof. Replace

any old insulation with new insulation, preferably of around 200mm

thickness or more.

CAUTION: Incorrect disposal is an environmental

hazard!

Escaping refrigerant damages the environment.

▶ Refrigerant may be disposed of by qualified

contractors only.

Appliances with this symbol may not be disposed of in

the normal refuse (e.g. dust bin) at the end of their

service life.

NOTICE: Material losses due to a lack of or incorrect

cleaning and maintenance.

▶ Have your hybrid system inspected, serviced and

cleaned annually by an authorised contractor.

▶ We recommend you enter a contract covering an

annual inspection and service subject to demand.
