Installation
For the unit to work, two holes Ø162 must be placed as
indicated on the template;
The maximum length of the holes is 1 m and there must
be no bends. Use the supplied grids or grids with the
same characteristics.
The holes on the wall must be drilled using suitable
equipment that facilitates your work and that does not cause
damage or excessive inconvenience to Your client. The best
tools to make big holes on walls are special drills (called
"core drills") with a high torque and whose speed can be
adjusted according to the diameter of the hole to make and
to the material. In order to avoid excessive dust and debris
in the room, "core drills" can be combined with suction
systems composed of a vacuum connected to e.g. a suction
cup placed next to the perforation tip.
In order to make the holes, proceed as follows:
-
Place the drilling template provided against the wall
respecting the minimum distances: from the ceiling,
from the floor and from the side walls, indicated on the
template itself, which can be held in the correct position
by using some tape.
-
Mark the centre of each hole with a small drill or a
punch before actual drilling.
-
Using the core drill, make two holes for inlet and outlet
air.
The holes must be drilled slightly downwards to prevent
water from entering.

The majority of the removed material is expelled outwards,
so please be careful that it doesn't hit people or objects. In
order to avoid breaking the outer plaster, be careful while
drilling the final part of the hole and ease the pressure on the
core drill.
Drill the 6 holes for the bracket as indicated on the template.
The appliance weights more on the right, so make sure to
secure it properly on this side. The holes must have an 8 mm
diameter to accommodate the 6 supplied plugs.
A thorough examination of the characteristics and
consistency of the wall must always be carried out to
determine the amount of fixings to be made and to
choose specific plugs in particular conditions. In the case
of installation on a plasterboard or on walls with low
consistency arrange, if necessary on the outside, a bracket
that can support the machine safely.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for
any underestimates of the structural consistency of
the anchoring arranged by the installer. We therefore
encourage you to pay the utmost attention to this
operation as, if performed badly, it could cause serious
damage to people and objects.
Drill a hole in the position indicated on the template
for those heat-pump appliances without a condensation
drain built in the wall in order to enable the draining of
condensation.
A hole is also indicated on the template to secure the
machine on the wall with an anti-lifting bracket, which
is already on the machine.
