Heat pump water heater - TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR INSTALLERS

4. INSTALLATION

WARNING! Observe the general warnings and safety instructions listed in the previous
paragraphs and strictly adhere to the indications therein contained.

4.1 Location of the appliance

WARNING! Prior to starting any installation activities, ensure that the location where the water heater is to be
installed satisfies the following requirements:
a) In the event of water heaters without an air exhaust duct, the room of installation should have a volume of no less
than 30 m 3 and must be adequately ventilated. Avoid installing the appliance in rooms which may favour frost
build-up. Do not install the product in a room containing an appliance that requires air to function (e.g. an open-
chamber gas boiler, open-chamber gas water heater, etc.) unless otherwise indicated by local law. The product's
safety and performance levels are not guaranteed in the event of outdoor installation.
b) The appliance's air exhaust and/or extraction duct (if present) must have access to the outside from the point
where the appliance is installed. The connections for the air exhaust and aspiration ducts are located on the
upper part of the appliance;
c) Ensure that the installation site and the electrical and hydraulic systems to which the appliance must be
connected fully comply with the regulations in force;
d) The chosen site must have, or must be suitable to house, a single-phase 220-240 V ~ 50 Hz power supply
socket;
e) The chosen site must be suitable to house a condensate drainage outlet connected to the lateral of the appliance
with a suitable siphon;
f) The chosen site must ensure that the appropriate safety distances from the wall and ceiling can be observed, for
the appliance to operate properly and to facilitate maintenance operations (refer to fig. 5);
g) that installation of the ducts allows maintenance operations on the evaporator filter (refer to fig. 6);
h) that the plan allows a perfectly vertical operating position (refer to. fig. 2);
i) The chosen site must conform to the appliance's IP protection rating (protection against the penetration of
liquids) as specified by the regulations in force;
j) The appliance must not be exposed to direct sunlight, even when windows are present;
k) The appliance must not be exposed to particularly aggressive substances such as acidic vapours, dust or gas-
filled environments;
l) The appliance must not be directly installed on telephone lines that are unprotected against overvoltage;
m) The appliance must be installed as close as possible to the points of use to limit heat dispersion along the piping;
n) The air aspirated by the product must be free of dust, acicid vapours and solvents.
In the event of non-ducted installation, observe the distances from the walls as indicated in specific picture in
Fig. 7.

4.2 Positioning on the ground

Refer to Fig. 8:
1) Once the suitable installation position has been located, remove the packaging and remove the fixings visible on
the pallet where the product is based.
2) Using the appropriate belt, remove the product from the pallet.
3) Fix the feet on the ground (through the appropriate holes) using suitable screws and rawlplugs; after positioning
the appliance, remove the fabric belt by loosening the relative bolts.

4.3 Air supply connections

Please bear in mind that using air from heated environments may hamper the building's thermal performance.
There is one connection for the air intake and one for the air exhaust on the rear side of the appliance. It is important
to not remove (except for not canalized installation, fig. 7) or tamper the two grilles.
The outlet air may reach temperatures that are 5-10°C lower compared to that of the inlet air and, if not ducted, the
temperature of the room of installation may drop sensibly. If operation by exhaust or intake to the outside (or another
room) of the treated air by the heat pump is foreseen, suitable ducting must be used for air passage. Ensure that the
ducting is connected and fastened securely to the product to prevent accidental disconnections and annoying noises.
We recommend installing the ducted product as shown in figure 4.
The minimum height for a ducted installation is shown in figure 5.
