OPERATIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Comply with the following instructions before beginning to install the appliance:
- Make sure that all parts of the convector fan are in a perfect condition.
- Make sure that the appliance has not sustained damage during transport. Immediately notify the haulage contrac-
tor if damage is discovered. Check to make sure that the accessories required for installation and the relative docu-
mentation are included in the pack.
- Convey the packed appliance as near to the installation site as possible.
- Do not stack weights or place tools on top of the packed appliance.
CHOICE OF THE INSTALLATION SITE
Bear the following points in mind before installing the appliance:
- Position the appliance on a solid surface unable to cause vibrations and able to bear the weight of the structure.
- Install the appliance well away from heat or vapour sources and where the air intake and delivery are not obstruc-
ted.
- Position the appliance in a place where the condensation can easily flow away.
- Position the appliance in a place where the air can circulate all round the room.
- Ceiling-mounted units with open port air deliveries must be installed on the opposite side to:
• windows or large glazed areas
• entrance doors accessed fron outdoors.
This allows the air flow to efficiently oppose re-entering summer heat and winter dispersions. Only when the rooms
are very long may the position be able to influence a flow of air on to a glazed surface. Ceiling-mounted units must
never be installed over doors that open outdoors since they would mainly take in outdoor air and this would notably
lower their efficiency.
- Do not install the appliance in places where there are inflammable gases or acid or alkaline substances which would
irreparably damage the copper, aluminium heat exchangers or the plastic components.
- Do not install the appliance in workshops or kitchens where oil vapours mixed with the treated air could deposit on
the heat exchange banks, thus reducing their performances, or on the internal parts of the unit which could be
damaged.
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
The following tools are required in order to install the convector fan:
- Pipe wrench for wet connections
- Flat cross-head screwdriver
