5.2 Storage
-The appliance must not be stored in an enclosed space of
less than 4m2 without ventilation.
-If the appliance is stored in a room with a surface area
of less than 4m² (in a storage closet for example) there
must be ventilation points at the top and bottom points of
the space.
Admissible storage and transport temperatures of the
heat pump water heater are from -5°C to +35°C
5.3 Unpacking
- Remove plastic cover and cardboard packaging.
- Remove corner protection pieces, ensuring that all
nails and staples are taken out.
- Remove protective film from all parts of the appliance
and from the bag of accessories which you will find in
the transport bag.
- Without tilting the appliance, use an appropriate tool
to remove the screws from underneath the pallet.
Keep the transport bag out of reach of
!
children (risk of suffocation).
5.4 Pipework
The pipe runs should be executed as short as possible, un-
used pipework should be removed and all remaining pipe-
work should be lagged in accordance with
regulatory requirements to prevent heat loss and the for-
mation of condensation.
5.5 Taps and Fittings
All taps and fittings incorporated in the system should have
a rated operating pressure of 0.6 MPa (6 bar) or above.
5.6 Risk Assessment
It is strongly recommended to complete a risk
assessment before installing the product. The following ar-
eas require particular consideration in addition to the in-
formation required by the Health and Safety at Work Act.
- Scalding: where appropriate or required by law a
thermostatic mixing valve is to be fitted.
- Explosion: the unit is fully equipped with all relevant
safety equipment to comply with current regulations.
The correct design and function has been verified by
independent third party testing. The correct
application hereafter is the responsibility of the
competent installer.
- Water borne organisms (i.e. Legionella): if applicable
a risk assessment should be carried out following the
recommendations outlined in the Approved Code of
Practice L8.
- The user preference must be considered when
commissioning the system.
5.7 Siting Considerations
When choosing the place where the appliance is to be in-
stalled the following points should be taken into
consideration:
- Structural integrity.
- Access for installation, operation, maintenance and
replacement.
- Routing of discharge pipework.
- Access to water mains supply, hot and cold water
distribution pipework.
- Access to suitable electricity supply.
It is PROHIBITED:
- To let the appliance operate using air intake which
contains solvents or explosive matter.
- To use air intake which contains grease, dust or
aerosol particles.
- To connect vented exhaust hoods to the ventilation
system.
It is PROHIBITED to install the appliance
- Outdoors
- In rooms which are exposed to frost
- In humid rooms which have a lot of steam or vapour
(for example, a bathroom)
- To install product directly onto floor, tripod MUST be
used
The water heater may be located on any flat and level
surface, provided it is sufficiently robust to support the
weight of the water heater when full of water (please see
technical data) and suitably accessible for
replacement/maintenance without specialist tools or lift-
Particular care must be taken when placing the water
heater in a garage or outbuilding. All exposed pipework
must be correctly insulated to avoid frost damage.
The position and orientation of the water heater should be
such that easy access is provided for servicing the con-
trols. A minimum distance of 400mm in front of the im-
mersion is recommended, to allow the replacement of the
immersion heater should the need arise. When installing
the water heater all labels should be clearly visible and
ensure that no pipework hinders any work to be carried
out on the various components.
To facilitate the condensates flow, adjust the feet so that
the appliance is vertical, see Figure 1.
