INSTALLATION Overall dimensions and weights Unpacking the product boilers are delivered on a pallet, ACQUAHOME 32 B - 32 BS packed and protected by a wooden cage. The following items are delivered in a plastic bag (1) inside the boiler:...
Moving and removing the packing - Remove the polystyrene edge protectors (2) - Pull off the protective bag (3). Wear suitable personal protection equipment when mov- ing the boiler and removing the packing. Only use lifting equipment that is suitable for the weight involved. Proceed as follows to remove the packing: - Remove the staples (A) fixing the wooden cage (1) to the pallet...
