NOTE
Minor damage to the storage bricks will have no
effect on the operation of the equipment.
1.2 Installation
Please check that the floor is strong enough for the
weight of the equipment.
The floor where you will install the equipment must be
smooth and level. The equipment can be placed on any
normal floor, but, in the case of vinyl or parquet floors,
or floors with light carpets, the floor colour may be af-
fected in the area around the supporting feet, due to
the effect of pressure or heat. Wall or carpet strips that
touch the rear side of the equipment must be removed.
Shims (special accessories) must be used in these
cases:
if heat-sensitive floor coverings, that cannot reliably
withstand temperatures higher than 80°C, are pre-
sent
if it is anticipated that the supporting feet will sink
into the floor, preventing air exchange under the
storage heater
.

Fig.3: Minimum spacing on sides
The best place to position the storage heater is under a
window. If 2 storage heaters are set up next to each
other, make sure they are at least 200 mm apart.
Objects of all types must be at least 300 mm from the
air outlet guard. The same also applies to long-pile car-
pets, (Fig. 4)
