NOTE:
The clearances shown in Fig. 5.1 must be left free to allow air to circulate and to ensure accessibility
for repairs or maintenance on every side of the heat pump. In fact, it must be possible to disassemble all the
components under the utmost safety conditions (both for objects and for people).
If the heat pump is to be installed in regions subject to heavy snow:
It will be necessary to raise the unit by at least 100 mm above the maximum expected snowfall or, alternatively, use wall-support
brackets, see Fig. 5.5 (optional) to protect the unit from direct snowfall and take care that the unit is NEVER buried under snow.
The unit must be installed in a position protected from snow falling from above.
If this is not possible, you must at least prevent the snow from clogging the air/coolant exchanger (even by constructing a
small protective roof for the heat pump, if necessary. See Fig. 5.3).
If blowing lateral snowfalls are possible, make sure that the heat exchanger coil CANNOT be covered by snow.
