4 Transport, Set-up and Location of the Distillation Apparatus
Protect yourself and the Distillation Apparatus during transport and setup by working carefully and
avoid danger of e. g. shifting or tilting the unit as well as risk of injury by lifting heavy loads. Caution,
Distillation Apparatus PD 2 D (net weight 20.4 kg), PD 4 D (net weight 27.5 kg) and PD 8 D (net
weight 43,0 kg) must be lifted, carried and transported to the location by at least two persons.
The Distillation Apparatus can be held between the four stands of the unit and lifted for setup.
The unit is suitable for both bench and wall mounting. It is only suitable for indoor use. Table-top setting-up on solid, even
and level surfaces only. Make sure to place the unit only on a watertight, temperature-resistant, non-flammable surface.
The location must provide sufficient space as well as the necessary carrying capacity for the total weight of the Distillation
Apparatus (unit weight as per Technical Data of this manual, plus weight of the filling).
For setting-up on the wall check the carrying capacity of the wall in connection with the total weight of the unit (appliance
plus water filling, see Technical Data). Make sure to check the on-site fixing elements in order to guarantee safe hold of
the Distillation Apparatus. The fixing material must be suitable for the substrate. Use only tested and proven fixing materi-
al.
There are two keyholes for wall mounting at the back of the Distillation Apparatus. Place two fixing screws (not included in
the scope of supply) in the wall, 40 cm apart, and nest the still on the keyholes. The Distillation Apparatus is delivered
without fixing material.
