8 installation Kelvinator heat pump hot water system
Installation of the heat pump hot water system shall be
completed in accordance with the AS/NZS 3500.1 and AS/
NZS 3500.4 plumbing codes regarding water and hot water
supply as well as local authority regulations and any other
applicable Australian standards.
If the heat pump hot water system cannot be installed
correctly to the Australian standards do not place it into
service. If any problems or questions arise during the
installation that cannot be answered in this installation
manual please call the relevant local authorities or the
Electrolux service centre (number located in the warranty
section of this manual).
The heat pump has been charged with refrigerant and does not
require any on-site installation of refrigeration components.
Choosing a suitable installation location
The hot water storage tank can be installed either indoors or
outdoors however the heat pump must be installed outdoors
only. The heat pump is designed to operate within the
temperature range of -7°C to 50°C, ensure the site chosen is
within this ambient temperature range.
Please ensure the following:
1. Enough space for installation and maintenance is
available around the hot water system.
2. The height difference between the water outlet of the
heat pump and water inlet of the water tank will be less
than 5 metres.
3. The air inlet and outlet of the heat pump will be free from
obstacles and sheltered from strong winds.
4. The bearing surface is level, can bear the full weight of
the hot water system, and is suitable for installing the
heat pump without increasing noise or vibration.
5. The operational noise of the heat pump will not affect
occupants and neighbours.
6. No flammable items stored near the installation site.
7. The location is convenient for piping and wiring.

caution
Installing the hot water system in any of the following places
may lead to malfunction of the system.
• Sites containing mineral oils such as cutting lubricant.
• Locations beside the sea where salt air can cause
corrosion.
• Locations near hot springs where corrosive gases exist,
e.g., sulfide gas.
• Factories where the supply voltage fluctuates markedly.
• Inside a cabin or caravan.
• Kitchens where oil permeates the air.
• Places where strong electromagnetic radiation exists.
• Places where flammable gases or materials exist.
• Places where acid or alkali gases evaporate.
If installing the heat pump in cyclonic areas or areas where
high levels of wind exist, ensure the mounting solution and
fixing is adequate. If possible, avoid installing the heat pump
at elevated heights in these areas and instead place it in a
more sheltered position at ground level.
