4.1.1 Important information

WARNING!
The storage tank plastic wall on the Daikin
EKHWP / EKHWC / EKHWD can melt under the
effects of external heat (>90 °C) and, in the ex-
treme case, can catch fire.
● Erect the Daikin EKHWP / EKHWC /
EKHWD only at a minimum distance of 1 m to
other heat sources (>90 °C) (e.g. electric
heater, gas heater, chimney) and flammable
materials.
CAUTION!
● Only erect the Daikin EKHWP / EKHWC /
EKHWD if an adequate ground load-
bearing capacity of (1050 kg/m² plus a
safety factor) is guaranteed. The ground
must be flat and level.
● Erection outdoors is only possible to a
limited extent. The storage tank may not be
exposed to continuous direct sunlight, as
the UV radiation and the effects of the
weather will damage the plastic.
● The Daikin EKHWP / EKHWC / EKHWD
must be protected from frost.
● Make sure that the supply company does
not provide corrosive domestic water.
– Suitable water treatment may be
required.
CAUTION
If the difference in height between the hot water
storage tank and the solar panels is not great
enough, the depressurised solar system cannot
drain fully in the exterior section.
● On depressurised solar systems, observe the
minimum gradient of the solar connection
lines.
