Installation area
▪ The base must be level and smooth and have sufficient ground
load-bearing capacity of 1050kg/m² plus safety factor. Install a
pedestal if necessary.
▪ Observe the installation dimensions (see "3.1 Dimensions and
connection dimensions"[411]).
Minimum distance
DANGER: RISK OF BURNING/SCALDING
The plastic wall of the storage tank on the indoor unit can
melt under the effects of external heat (>80°C) and, in the
extreme case, can catch fire.
▪ Only install the indoor unit at a minimum clearance of
1 m from other heat sources (>80°C) (e.g. electrical
heater, oil heater, chimney) and combustible material.
CAUTION
If the indoor unit is not installed at a sufficient
distance below the flat solar panels (the top edge of the
storage tank is higher than the bottom edge of the solar
panels), the unpressurised solar system in the outdoor
area will not be able to drain completely.
▪ When a solar connection is used, install the indoor unit
low enough under the flat solar panels (observe the
minimum gradient of the solar connection lines).
Recommended minimum distances:
From the wall: (rear) ≥100mm, (sides) ≥500mm
From the ceiling: ≥1200mm, at least 480mm.
Distances from the outdoor unit:
When selecting the installation location, the data in the table "  3‒1
"[413] must be taken into account.

3.3.2 Installing the device
WARNING
When unfilled, the indoor unit is top-heavy and could tip
over during transport, which could put persons in danger or
damage the device.
▪ Secure the indoor unit well, transport carefully, use the
handles.
Precondition
▪ The installation site complies with applicable country-specific
regulations and meets the minimum requirements described in
"3.3.1Selecting the installation site"[412].
Set-up
1 Remove the packaging and dispose of it in an environmentally
sound manner.
2 Pull off the cover screens from the storage tank (item b) and
unscrew the threaded fittings (item c) from the openings at
which the handles are to be fitted.
3 Screw the handles (item a) into the now uncovered threaded
holes.
4 Carefully transport the indoor unit to the installation site, use the
handles.

5 Install the indoor unit at the installation site.
▪ When setting up the unit in a cabinet, behind panels or in other
restricted conditions, sufficient ventilation (e.g. using ventilation
gratings) must be ensured. If the total refrigerant charge in the
system is ≥1.84 kg, further requirements of the ventilation
openings must be met (see "6.4 Minimum floor area and
ventilation openings"[434]).
