5.2.2 Installing the water heater
Caution
When installing the appliance, abide by the IP21 protection
rating.
Caution
- Do not install the thermodynamic water heater in premises
exposed to gas, vapours or dust.
- Install the thermodynamic water heater in a dry, frost-free room
at a minimum temperature of 5°C.
- Install the appliance on a base frame. The base frame must at
all times present sufficient resistance to the load.
- Install the appliance on a flat, solid surface.
- Temperature of the ambient air or of the air taken in by the
heat pump for optimum running: 10 to 35°C.
1
The floor must be capable of bearing the weight of the water heater
once it has been filled with water. For the 180-L tank: 286 kg, for the
230-L tank: 346 kg.
2
Measures should be taken to protect the area from water damage. A
metal recovery tank must be installed and connected to an appropriate
discharge circuit.
3
Enough space must be allowed for maintenance of the water heater.
4
The air flow must be sufficient to allow the heat pump to function. The
water heater must be placed in a space with a volume of more than
20 m
3
in which the air flow is unhindered.
Caution
Also take into account the temperature of the ambient air when
installing this appliance. In heat pump mode, the temperature
of the ambient air must be between 5°C and 43°C. If the
temperature of the ambient air exceeds these limits, the electric
resistor is activated to meet hot water demand and the heat
pump is not started up.
