» Upon receipt, check your delivery for completeness and
possible transport damage.
If transport damage is visible, proceed as follows:
- Do not accept the delivery or only with reservations.
- Note down the extent of the damage on the shipping
documents or on the delivery note of the carrier.
- Initiate a complaint.
Immediately give notice of any damage.
Give notice of all damage as soon as it has been
identified. Claims can only be accepted within the
applicable claim period.
10.3 Handling
CAUTION Injury through heavy loads
Dry, this water heater weighs 130 kg (290 lb.). Use
suitable aids and sufficient personnel when handling
this water heater.
Risk of damage through incorrect handling.
Incorrect handling can result in substantial material
losses.
Observe the information on the packaging.
Remove the packaging just before the installation.
Risk of damage through overturning.
The water heater has a high centre of gravity and a
low overturning moment. Protect the water heater
against overturning.
Only position the water heater on a level substrate.
To protect the water heater against damage, it should be
transported vertically inside its packaging. Where space is
restricted, you can also tilt (max. 45°) the water heater briefly
to move it.
10.4 Storage
Where it is necessary to store the water heater prior to installation
for a longer period, observe the following:
- If possible, store the water heater in a dry and dust-free
ambience.
- Prevent the water heater from coming into contact with
aggressive materials.
- Prevent the water heater from being exposed to shocks or
vibrations.
- In case of prolonged storage, check the condition of the
water heater and its packaging regularly.
10.5 Positioning the water heater
» Position the water heater with its wooden pallet at the final
installation location in a 10’ x 10’ x 8’ area.
Install the water heater so that there is an adequate clearance
adjacent to the air grilles (see the following diagrams).
10.5.1 Installation conditions
It is important for water heater performance and to avoid damage
to adjacent surfaces that adequate clearance remains available
on the air flow intake (min. 2') and air flow exhaust sides (min
6') of the unit.
It is important for water heater maintenance that adequate space
remains available above the water heater.

wrapped around the water heater, the longer it will
be protected against damage.
