IMPORTANT
When installing the drain hose on the outdoor unit, also observe the following instructions:
● When using the drain elbow, the outdoor unit should be mounted on a sub-base at
least 50 mm in height.
● For installation of the outdoor unit on a foundation, the installation method with a strip
foundation and gravel lling is recommended (→ 5.2.2.3 Securing the outdoor unit,
p. 102). For a safe drainage of condensation water, even at outside temperatures
below 0 °C, a drain pipe is recommended, reaching into the frost-free area of the
underground.
Carry out the following steps to connect the drain hose to the condensation outow of the outdoor
unit:
1. Assemble the supplied outlet bend with seal on the condensation drain outlet on the
underside of the outdoor unit, as shown in the gures below.
2. Seal the openings on the underside of the outdoor unit using the supplied rubber sealing
caps.
3. Slide the hose onto the drain elbow.
4. Ensure that the drain hose is seated rmly. Use a hose clip to attach the hose, if necessary
(to be eld-supplied).
5. Lay the drain hose with a constant slope. For large drain hose lengths, you may want to use
a metal support (to be eld-supplied) to prevent the hose from bending.
