Atlantic alfea extensa + - Outdoor Unit Positioning; Condensate Drain Hose

2.4.2 Outdoor unit positioning
The outdoor unit must be raised at least 50 mm above
ground level. In areas prone to snow, this height should
be increased but should not exceed 1.5 m (gure 17).
- Fasten the outdoor unit by means of screws and
rubber tightening or toothed lock washers to avoid
their coming loose.
" Warning
In the area with heavy snowfall, if the intake and outlet
of outdoor unit is blocked with snow, it might become
difcult to get warm and it is likely to cause of the
breakdown.
Please construct a canopy and a pedestral or place the
unit on high stand (local congured).
- Set the unit on a strong stand, such as one made of
concrete blocks to minimize shock and vibration.
- Do not set the unit directly on the ground because it will
cause trouble.
2.4.3 Condensate drain hose
" The outdoor unit can generate a large volume of
water (called condensate).
(see gure 17).
If the use of a discharge pipe is imperative:
- Instal the condensate drain pan (option / code 074008)
models extensa + 5, 6 and 8 only.
- Use the elbow provided (C) to connect a 16mm-
diameter hose for draining away the condensate.
- Use the stopper or stoppers provided (B) to block the
opening of the condensate tank.
Allow for the condensate to ow away under the force of
gravity (waste water, rain water, gravel bed).
" If the installation is made in an area where
the temperature can be lower than 0°C for
a long period, provide the drain pipe with a
trace resistance to avoid it icing up. The trace
resistance must heat not only the pipe but
also the bottom of the appliance's condensate
collection tank.
