1.Mechanicalrisks
Handling
Theappliancemustbehandledandinstalledinawaysuitedtotheweightandsizeoftheappliance.
Location
Theapplianceshouldbeshelteredfromtheweatherandprotectedfromfrost.
Positioning
Theapplianceshouldbepositionedasrecommendedbythemanufacturer.
2.Electricalrisks
Connections

neutralisethethermostat;directconnectionisforbidden.
• Toavoidthesupplycableoverheating,usethetypeandsectionofcablerecommendedintheinstallation
manual.Inanyevent,complywiththeregulationsinforce.
• Makesurethatthereisanelectricalprotectionbetweenthemainsandtheapplianceanduser(forexample
inFrance,a30mAdifferentialcircuit-breaker).
• Checktheconnectionsaretight.
• Theappliancemustbeconnectedtoagoodearthconnection.
• Ensurethatlivepartsremaininaccessible.Coversmustbepresentintheiroriginalconditionandopenings

3.Hydraulicrisks
Pressure

Connection, drains
• Theinstallationofahydraulicsafetyunit,includingatleastapressurevalve,iscompulsory.Itmustbemoun-
teddirectlyonthecoldwaterinlet.
• Donotblockthedrainopeningofthevalve.Connectthedrainopeningofthevalvetoawastewateroutlet.

slopetodrainanyexpandedheatedwaterortodrainthewaterheater.
 Thismeansthatthedrainpipe’sdiametermustbeadaptedtotheow.
• Takecarenottoreversethehotwaterandcoldwaterconnections.
• Checkforleaks.
