Useful functions on your
Daikin Altherma controller
Raising the hot water temperature
Storing water at higher temperatures is wasteful, because heat loss from the cylinder will be increased and the heat pump running costs will increase.
However, should you find the hot water is not hot enough, it can be increased by pressing on the controller.
The controller is located on the front or close to the indoor unit (the hydrobox).
For best use of energy, only increase by 2°C at a time.
Additional hot water other than pre-set times (boost function)
If you run out of hot water press and hold
(5 seconds) the button at the bottom right of the controller until you see
& symbols flashing in the display.
Note: Increased use of boost function will affect overall efficiency of the system.

Maximising your energy savings
To increase the efficiency of the central heating system, your heat pump will automatically vary the temperature of the water going through your central heating. The colder the temperature gets outside, the warmer the circulating water through your central heating.
This feature (called weather compensation or economy mode) should be selected on the hydrobox controller, and the automatic symbol will show in the controller display. If this symbol is not shown, press the button.
When in the automatic (weather compensation) mode, if you feel the house is too warm or not warm enough you can adjust the central heating water supply temperature up or down by pressing the buttons on the controller.

If the radiator is too cold check that the radiator valves are open to a high enough level.(Anticlockwise)
A room may become warm enough without the radiator being more than lukewarm.
Is the thermostat set too low?
Check that the temperature on the thermostat is set high enough to start the heat pump.
Is the mains power switched off?
Check that the heating switches are switched ON, including the switch located next to the outdoor unit.
Does the Heating seem to be using more electricity?
In the colder weather you may hear the unit cycling, even though neither the heating or hot water are in use. This is simply the unit drawing heat from the interior to prevent it freezing.
Should the heating be switched on overnight?
It should be remembered that unlike electric heating this system is not instant. It is better to just turn the heating down a couple of degrees when you go to bed so that when you get up it does not have to work as hard as it would if it had been switched off. In particularly cold weather this will be even more apparent as the system will cycle from heating to defrost a lot if it has to work harder.
A suggested daytime setting is 20degC and turned down to no lower than 15degC at night.
In the event you have checked the points above, and the system still fails to operate normally, you can manually reset the system by turning off the power, waiting 60 seconds then turning it back on.
If the system still does not operate as normal, check the display on the controller for a fault code (typically a number and a letter for example 7H) and contact your landlord, making reference to the displayed code.
If your Landlord cannot be contacted, phone Ice Energy on 01865 88 22 02 (option 2) twice, these
will be initially dealt with by the technical support. If it is heat pump related then it is for Ice Energy
to attend. If not e.g. distribution failure, this will be for a local plumber.
