10. Installation and safety advice
a) Important installation advice! Do not bend the hook, otherwise it could
break. A failure to observe this warning can cause injury as the device
may fall down!
b) To mount the upper hook, a wall rail is provided with every device.
The wall rail, which carries the device, is mounted on the wall with
two screws. Two further screws are required (reference is made to the
drawing stating the dimensions of the device) to fasten the lower wall
bracket of the device to the wall. However, this bracket only provides
support against the wall and prevents side-to-side movements. Do not
mount wall-mounted water heaters horizontally.
c) The distance between the hooks – i.e. mounting dimension A - can be changed at 50mm
intervals by inserting the screws in the back wall of the storage tank in different bores of the
hook (only 50 - 150 litres).
Caution: Do not use any other hook than the hook provided by AE!
d) With regard to the installation of the device, it is necessary to observe the dimensioned dra-
wings of the device and the enclosed indicating labels, if any.
e) Caution: In order to ensure that the mounting surface for the device and the choice of the
place of installation are appropriate in consideration of the load to be supported and the
strength of the mounting surface, it is necessary to take into account both the weight of the
water heater and the weight of the water inside the heater (i.e. of the nominal content).
Special installation systems: see thin wall and ceiling installation.
f) If an envelope (or jacket) is tted to a water heater or if the water heater is tted in small nar-
row rooms or in suspended ceilings and similar, always ensure that the connection side of
the device (water connections, electrical connection chamber resp. heating insert) are freely
accessible and that there is no accumulation of heat. To remove the heating ange, a free
space of 500mm must be available. To hook up the device in the wall rail, ensure that there
is a minimum clearance of 50mm on top of the device.
g) With regard to the choice or sequence of the installation materials used at the site of the
installation (caution is required with mixed installations), it is necessary to consider the latest
information concerning possible electrochemical processes (contact corrosion, e.g. copper/
steel). The use of insulation grade screw connections is recommended.
h) If the water is particularly aggressive and requires special solutions at the site of installation, it
may be necessary to consider the use of special versions of the storage tank (please consult
our representation ofces or our main ofce).
i) Horizontal storage tanks: The tting situation for horizontal tanks is determined by the func-
tion and must therefore be observed strictly. The cold water inlet (blue) and the hot water
outlet (red) should be located next to each other on the same level and protrude in the lower
part of the housing cover.
j) The device is equipped with a safety temperature limiter that will switch off further heating
once the water has reached a temperature of max. 110°C (EN 60335 -2-21; ÖVE-EW41,
Pt 2 (500) /1971). Therefore, when it comes to choosing the connection components (con-
nection pipes, safety valve combinations etc.), it is necessary to ensure that the connection
components are able to withstand a temperature of 110°C in the event of a malfunction of
the temperature controller so that possible damages are prevented.
k) Assembly and installation must be performed exclusively by authorised professionals.
