5.2 Placing the appliance The Flair 225 appliance can be mounted onto a wall with the supplied mounting bracket. For a vibration-free installation, the appliance must be mounted to a solid wall with a minimum mass of 170 kg/m (16lbs/cf) .
Page 14
5.3 Connecting the condensate discharge The condensate discharge line for the Flair 225 is located in the bottom panel. The condensate is discharged through the drainpipe. The P-trap (with built-in air vent) is supplied separately with the appliance and must be fitted by the installer below the appliance (bayonet connection).
