Preparations
9.1
Installation site
The appliance is designed to be permanently wall-mounted to a
solid surface. Ensure the wall offers adequate load bearing ca-
pacity.
There should be a suitable drain near the appliance to drain off
the expansion water.
Always install the appliance vertically in a room free from the risk
of frost and near the draw-off point.
It may not be fitted in a corner since the screws for fixing the
appliance to the wall must remain accessible.
9.2
Fitting the wall mounting bracket
Note
Ensure that the temperature selector is accessible from
the front.
The mounting bracket attached to the appliance has hook-in slots,
which in most cases enables installation on the bolts that are
already in place from previous appliances.
f Otherwise, transfer the dimensions for the holes to be drilled
f
on the wall (see chapter "Specification / Dimensions and
connections").
f Drill the holes and secure the wall mounting bracket with
f
screws and rawl plugs. Select fixing materials in accordance
with the wall construction/condition.
f Hook the appliance with wall mounting brackets on to the
f
screws or bolts. Observe the weight of the appliance when
empty (see chapter "Specification / Data table") and, if neces-
sary, ask another person to help.
f Align the appliance horizontally.

10.1.1 Permissible materials
Material losses
!
When using plastic pipework, observe the manufacturer's
data and the chapter "Specification / Fault conditions".
Cold water line
Galvanised steel, stainless steel, copper and plastic are approved
materials.
DHW line
Stainless steel, copper and plastic pipework are approved ma-
terials.
10.1.2 Fitting the safety valve
Note
The safety valve supplied must not be used in Belgium.
For use here please use standard safety valves (see also
pricelist).
Note
If the water pressure is greater than 0.6 MPa, install a
pressure reducing valve in the "cold water inlet".
The maximum permissible pressure must not be exceeded (see
chapter "Specification / Data table").
f Install a type-tested safety valve in the cold water supply
f
line. Please note that, depending on the static pressure, you
may also need a pressure reducing valve.
f Size the drain so that water can drain off unimpeded when
f
the safety valve is fully opened.
f Fit the discharge pipe of the safety valve with a constant
f
downward slope and in a room free from the risk of frost.
f The safety valve discharge aperture must remain open to the
f
atmosphere.
