8.4 Electrical installation
WARNING Electrocution
Carry out all electrical connection and installation work
in accordance with national and regional regulations.
WARNING Electrocution
The connection to the power supply must be in the form
of a permanent connection. Ensure the appliance can be
separated from the power supply by an isolator that dis-
connects all poles with at least 3mm contact separation.
This requirement can be met by using contactors, circuit
breakers, fuses/MCBs, etc.
Note
The specified voltage must match the mains voltage. Ob-
serve the type plate.
!
Material losses
Provide separate fuses/MCBs for the two power circuits,
i.e. for the compressor and the electricemergency/boost-
er heater circuits.
Use cables with the relevant cross-sections. Observe the ap-
plicable national and regional regulations.

Electrical data is provided in the chapter "Specification/ Data
table".
Note
The appliance includes an inverter for the variable speed
compressor. In the event of an error, inverters can cause
DC residual currents. If RCDs are provided, they must be
type B AC/DC-sensitive.
A DC residual current can block type A RCDs.
Ensure that the appliance power supply is discon-
nected from the distribution board.
9. Installation
9.1 Transport
Transport the appliance in its packaging to protect it against
damage.
Protect the appliance against heavy impact during transport.
- If the appliance needs to be tilted during transport, this must
only be for a short time and it must only be tilted on one of
its longitudinal sides.
The longer the appliance is tilted, the greater the distribution
of refrigerant oil inside the system.
- Storage and transport at temperatures below -20°C and
above +50°C are not permissible.
