Storage
If it is necessary to store the appliance for a prolonged period before installation, observe the following in-
formation:
-
Only store the appliance in a vertical position. Never store the appliance horizontally.
-
Store the appliance in a location that is dry and largely dust-free.
-
Protect the appliance from coming into contact with corrosive substances.
-
Ensure the appliance is not subjected to shocks or vibrations.
Installation location
!
Material losses
Observe the following list of requirements regarding the installation site.
-
Install the appliance where it will be as little exposed to strong direct wind, extreme rain, sun or snow
as possible, but will still be well ventilated. Unhindered air intake and air discharge should be possible. If
necessary, protect the appliance against the elements with a canopy, base and deflectors.
-
The installation site must be free from flammable, highly combustible gases and substances, as well as
high levels of dust.
-
The application limits for the heat pump and hot water cylinder must be maintained (see chapter "Speci-
fication
/ Data table").
-
The substrate of the installation site must be level and have sufficient load bearing capacity. Take note
of the weight of the appliance with a full hot water cylinder (see chapter "Specification
/ Data table").
A floor with insufficient load bearing capacity is in danger of collapse. If the appliance is not level, there
may be a risk of appliance damage.
-
In the case of indoor installation, the size of the installation room must correspond to the application lim-
its of the appliance (see chapter "Specification
/ Data table").
-
Observe the safety clearances and protection zones.
-
Always leave sufficient space to provide access for installation, maintenance and cleaning. Observe the
minimum clearances (see "Preparations
/ Siting the appliance").
-
Ensure the operation of other equipment in the installation room is not impaired.
-
To keep the water pipe lengths as short as possible, we recommend installing the appliance close to the
kitchen or bathrooms.
-
To prevent adverse effects from operating noise, never install the appliance close to bedrooms.

Material losses
Never install or draw off supply air from locations with aggressive atmospheres. This may damage the
appliance.
f
f
Check the wider environment around the planned installation location. Check for anything which
may have an adverse effect on the installation location or the appliance air supply.
Examples of unacceptable locations
Atmospheres containing ammonia
Sewage works, pigsties
Substances which block the evaporator
Air containing oil or grease; dust (cement, flour, etc.)
Note: If the air contains hairspray (e.g. in hairdressing salons), the appliance should be
operated with shorter maintenance intervals.
Saline environments
Coastal installations (<
200
m from the coast) can reduce component service life.
Atmospheres containing chlorine or chloride Swimming pools, salt works
Atmospheres containing thermal water
Areas in proximity to high frequency ma-
chines
Inverters for large motors, radar, etc.
Note
The output data given for this appliance has been determined in accordance with the relevant standard
at an intake temperature of 15
°
C. Below 15
°
C, the efficiency of the appliance decreases.
Note
You can improve the efficiency of the appliance by utilising the waste heat from other appliances to
heat the hot water cylinder, e.g. boilers, tumble dryers or freezers.
