INSTALLATION
Preparations
1 Recessed grips
Transport from vehicle to installation room
The cardboard box has reinforced recessed grips along the top of
the appliance. You can use these recessed grips, as well as the
pallet at the lower end, to carry the appliance into the installation
room. Take note of the weight of the appliance and ensure a suffi-
cient number of personnel is available for handling the appliance.
9.2
Storage
If it is necessary to store the appliance for a prolonged period
before installation, observe the following information:
- Only store the appliance in a vertical position. Never store
the appliance horizontally.
- Store the appliance in a location that is dry and largely
dust-free.
- Protect the appliance from coming into contact with corrosive
substances.
9.3

Installation site
The appliance is not approved for outdoor installation except for
garages.
Further requirements regarding the installation room and appli-
ance positioning, to prevent appliance damage:
- The installation location must be free from flammable, highly
combustible gases and substances, as well as high levels of
dust.
- The installation room must be free from the risk of frost.

- The floor of the installation room must be level and have suf-
ficient load bearing capacity. Take note of the weight of the
appliance with a full DHW tank (See 15.3, "Data table", pg.
14). A floor with insufficient weight capacity is in danger of
1
collapse. If the appliance is not evenly balanced, there may
be a risk of appliance damage.
- Always leave sufficient distance to provide access for instal-
lation, maintenance and cleaning. Observe the required min-
imum clearances (See 9.5, "Siting the appliance", pg. 7).
- Ensure that the operation of other equipment in the installa-
tion room is not impaired.
- To reduce the required plumbed tube length, install the unit
very close to the point.
The following installation locations are not permissible, due to
risk of appliance damage:
- Locations where the air is contaminated with oil or salt
- Saline environments
- Areas in proximity to high frequency machines
- Places where the air contains ammonia (e.g. sewage works)
- Places where the air contains chlorine (e.g. swimming pools)
- Generally places where the air is strongly contaminated, e.g.
due to dust, or contains aggressive substances
