Procedure 1. Mark the attachment points "A" at the desired position with the help of a spirit level. Then, drill holes diameter: 10 mm, depth: 50 mm. 2. Insert the supplied plastic plugs. Then, screw in the supplied screws 6 x 50 mm into the plastic plug in such a way that the distance between screw head and unit rear wall is 10 mm.
6.3.3 Inspecting the installed unit Check the following points: Is the unit installed in the correct place (see chapter 6.3.1)? Is the supporting surface stable enough? Is the unit correctly aligned, vertically and horizontally? Is the unit properly secured (see chapter 6.3.2)? Has the unit cover been relocated and correctly fixed with the screw?
Shield the steam outlet of the steam distributor with corresponding measures to make sure steam bath users can not be burned by the steam flow. Important: The ambient pressure at the place of installation of the Nordmann Omega and the steam distributor must be equal.
6.4.3 Installing the steam and condensate lines 6.4.3.1 Notes on installing the steam and condensate lines – Use original steam and condensate hose from your Nordmann representative or solid steam pipes from copper or stainless steel (min. DIN 1.4301) exclusively. Steam and condensate lines from other material may cause undesired operational malfunctions.

– Steam hoses must be prevented from sagging (condensate pockets); if necessary, support steam hose with pipe clamps, trough, or wall brackets, and install a condensate drain at any low points in the steam line. – It is not permitted to install a stop valve (e.g. a manually controlled stop valve, solenoid valve, etc.) in the steam line, due to an inadmissible increase of pressure in the steam tank if the valve is closed during the operation.

The use of additives in the water such as fragrance liquids, corrosion inhibitors, disinfectants, etc. is not allowed, since these additives may endanger health and affect proper operation. – If the Nordmann omega shall be operated with softened or partly softened water, please contact your Nordmann representative. –...
6.5.3 Inspecting the water installation Check the following topics: – Water supply Has filter valve (accessory "Z261") or shut-off valve and 5 µm water filter respectively been installed in supply line? Have admissible water pressure (1 – 10 bar) and admissible temperature (1 – 40 °C) been ob- served? Does the supply capacity match the steam generator and is the minimum internal diameter of 8 mm of the supply pipe maintained throughout the entire length?
DANGER! Danger of electric shock The Nordmann Omega is mains powered. Live parts may be exposed when the unit is open. Touching live parts may cause severe injury or danger to life. Prevention: The Nordmann Omega unit must be connected to the mains only after all mounting and installation work has been completed, all installations have been checked for correct workmanship and the unit is closed and properly locked.
