- unusual smell (such as smell of burning).

Choosing the installation site

Choose an area free from obstructions which may cause irregular air
distribution and/or return.
Check that the wall surface is flat enough to allow easy and safe
installation of the unit. The wall structure should be strong enough
to carry the unit weight and avoid deformation, rupture or vibration
during operation.
Consider using an area where installation is easy.
Choose a position that allows for the clearances required (see
drawing).
Look for a position in the room which assures the best possible air
distribution.
Install unit in a position where condensate can easily be piped to an
appropriate drain.
The minimum distance of the unit from any combustible surface must
not be lower than the values shown in fig. 18, 18A, 18b, 19.
Positions to avoid:
Exposed to direct sun.
Too close to heat sources.
On humid walls or positions with water hazard, e.g. laundry premises.
Exposure to oil vapours (e.g. kitchens, workshops).
Where curtains or furniture may obstruct free air circulation.
(See fig. 8)
... connecting condensate piping to sewage system drain without
appropriate trap (See fig. 9)
... only partial insulation of the piping (See fig. 10)
... installation not correctly levelled which will cause condensate
dripping (See fig. 11)
... flattening or kinking pipes or condensate pipes (See fig. 12)
