To Provide Drainage; To Prevent The Outdoor Unit From Falling Over - Daikin Altherma EHVH08SU18CB6W Installer's Reference Manual

7.3.5

To provide drainage

▪ Avoid installation places where water leaking from the unit due to
a blocked drain pan can cause damage to the location.
▪ Make sure that condensation water can be evacuated properly.
▪ Install the unit on a base to make sure that there is proper
drainage in order to avoid ice accumulation.
▪ Prepare a water drainage channel around the foundation to drain
waste water away from the unit.
▪ Avoid drain water flowing over the footpath, so that it does NOT
become slippery in case of ambient freezing temperatures.
▪ If you install the unit on a frame, install a waterproof plate within
150 mm of the bottom side of the unit in order to prevent water
from getting into the unit and to avoid drain water dripping (see the
following figure).
NOTICE
If the drain holes of the outdoor unit are blocked up,
provide space of at least 300 mm below the outdoor unit.
An additional drain pan kit (EKDP008CA) can be used to gather the
drain water. The drain pan kit consists of:
