The manufacturer will not be held liable for any underestimates made in the
structural consistency of the anchor prepared by the installer.
Therefore, pay utmost attention to the foregoing operation that could cause
serious injury/damage to people/property if carried out incorrectly.
• When installing models equipped with heating pump, if no condensate discharge was built into the wall
(see paragraph 2.4.3), in order to drain the condensate it will be necessary to drill a hole through the
wall in the position shown on the template.
2.3.1.2 - PREPARING THE CONDENSATE DISCHARGE
• Formachinesequippedwithheatpump,thecondensationexhausthose(supplied),tobeinsertedinthe
speciccoupling(A),mustbeconnectedtotheairconditioner(g.1-ref.N).
 Removethecap(6a)(g.7)beforeinsertingthecondensationdrainpipe.
 Whenthemaxlevelisreached,asolenoidvalveensuresthecondensatewillowoutfromtheinternal
tray.
• Forcold-onlymachines,connectthecondensatedischargepipeifyouintendrunningtheunitatlow
outdoor temperatures (lower than 23°C).
• Sincecondensatedrainsbygravity,theremustbeaminimumslopeofatleast3%ateverypointofthe
dischargeline.Usearigidorexibletubehavinganinsidediameterofatleast16mm.
• Ifthelineemptiesintoaseweragesystem,installasiphonbeforethepointinwhichthepipereaches
themaindischarge,atleast300mmbelowtheinletfromtheunit(g.8).
• Ifthedrainpipedrainsintoavessel(tankorothercontainer),thiscontainershouldnotbesealedand
thedrainpipeshouldnotremainimmersedinthewater(seeg.10).
• Theholethroughwhichthecondensatepipepassesshouldalwaysslopetowardstheoutside(seeg.
5).
The exact position in which to place the pipe inlet, as compared to the machine, is shown on the drilling
template.
Make sure, in this case, that the water expelled outward does not damage or
disturb persons or property.
During the winter this type of drainage may cause sheets of ice to form.
When the condensate drainage is tted, pay much attention not to compress
the rubber hose.
In the event of operation during the winter with temperatures equal to or lower than 0° C, make
sure that the condensate drain pipe is protected from freezing in order to ensure draining.
In the event of prolonged operation during the winter with temperatures below 5°C, install the
optional basin heater kit.
