Hello

We are not quite sure what settings we need to adjust on the heat pump when we also have a fire burning in the fireplace.

We have the airflow set to 2, stove mode activated, and the heating is on.

Is this correct?

I don’t understand your question.
Which settings on the heat pump? Normally, you don’t adjust anything on the heat pump when the fireplace is in use.

What kind of airflow setting on a heat pump?

Please ask your question with all the relevant information so readers can understand it.

For example: "What settings should I adjust in the car when the kids are playing on a tablet? The engine is running and the water flow is set to C." ==> If you can answer this, I can also answer your question without any further information 😉

There is no need to be ironic. I used the terms and did my best to ask the question.

I will try to rephrase the question.

We were told that we need to set the system to STOVE MODE when the fire is burning. But we are not sure if the heating should be ON or OFF.

But based on what you wrote, we don’t actually need to adjust any settings while the fire is burning?

It would be helpful to mention the type and model of the heat pump, and possibly scan and upload the relevant section from the user manual here.

EDIT: Sometimes you just have to shake your head at the kind of crystal balls people expect 😉

I must apologize, my knowledge of the internet and how to use it is very limited, as I am an older gentleman.

I do not want to waste anyone’s time here. My neighbor told me to come here and ask questions directly.

Unfortunately, I do not have an instruction manual for the system; all I know is what the service technician told me last year.

Maybe, depending on the questions. But you understand what the problem with your question is.

Regardless of a heat pump, nothing needs to be done. It would be the same with gas or oil. Normal heating systems also do not have explicit stove mode.

Do you perhaps have an air-to-air heat pump? Or is a ventilation system integrated? Or does the stove have a water jacket?
