Installation guidelines

Installation must only be carried out by skilled technicians. Always 

use personal protective equipment. 

ATTENTION!

 Incorrect installation could cause the unit to run badly, 

with a consequent deterioration in performance. 
•  the unit is only to be installed in domestic or similar environments. 

•  it is prohibited to insert objects through the air inlet and outlet 

vents.

•  installing and / or using the Jaga Knockonwood DBE  is prohibited 

in explosive atmospheres or areas where there is due to gases, 

vapours or dust explosion

•  when the unit is not used for long periods of time, it must be dis-

connected from the mains by opening the mains switch of the sys-

tem, set in place by the installer.

The unit is not designed to be installed (IEC EN 60335-2-40):

•  outside

•  in areas exposed to frost

•  in wet areas

•  in areas where there is due to gases, vapours or dust explosion

Follow these installation guidelines: 

• mark the attachment points on the floor according to the mount-

ing holes of the device. When drilling holes, do not damage hidden 

pipes and wiring.

• the type of floor determines what type of screw or plug should be 

used

Hydraulic connections:

It is very important for the water connections to be installed with 

care by qualified personnel.
•  connect the unit to the hydraulic system with the indicated inlet/

outlet connections. Make sure the connections are air tight with a 

sealant.

•  the heat exchanger is equipped with an air vent

Once installation is complete:

• bleed the air contained in the circuit

• make sure that there are no water leaks. Drain cock, air vent and 

valve are tightened up in the Jaga factory by hand. While filling the 

installation, control on leaks.

Electrical connections:

The electrical connection of the unit must be carried out by quali-

fied personnel, in compliance with the regulations applicable in the 

country where the unit is installed. Non-conforming electrical con-

nections releases Jaga N.V. from liability concerning damage to ob-

jects and persons. Use the supplied Jaga power supply.

•  an installation that does not include the recommended free spac-

es, resulting in difficulty in maintenance and reduced perfor-

mance. 

Regular maintenance

: cleaning at regular interval is important, (at least once 

a year), depending on the use and function of the room

Always use the mains switch to isolate the unit from the mains be-

fore carrying out any maintenance work on the unit, !!

•  use a vacuum cleaner to clean the heat exchanger and the venti-

lator.

•  clean the casing with a soft cloth dampened with water and a little 

dish soap. Do not use products based on solvents and detergents. 

The wooden casing may be treated with a neutral cleaner. Jaga 

recommends using the supplied cleaner „Proterra GR 1900“: more 

info, see www.hesse-lignal.de.
