Handling – depending on the size of
the unit and access to its installation
location, consideration must be given
to the handling of the unit. Please note

this product is subject to the Health
and Safety at Work Act.
If the unit is not installed immediately,
it should remain in its protective
packaging with all pipe protectors/end
caps applied to prevent damage and
dirt deposit inside the cylinder and the
coils.
Pipe work – the pipe runs should be
executed as short as possible, unused
pipe work should be removed and all
remaining pipe work should be lagged
in accordance with regulatory
requirements to prevent heat loss and
the formation of condensation.

Legionella): if applicable a risk
assessment should be carried out

considered when commissioning the
system, in particular when adjusting
the solar and auxiliary system
temperature and timer settings.
