INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Electrical requirements
WARNING!
●
●
Electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards.
●
●
Turn off electricity at the service panel before wiring the unit.
●
●
A 230 volt, 50Hz AC-only electrical supply is required.
●
●
This unit must be earthed/grounded.
Earthing/Grounding instructions:
●
●
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing/
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current.
●
●
This appliance is equipped with a cord that has an earthing/grounding wire with an
earthing/grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and earthed/grounded.
●
●
Consult a qualified electrician if the earthing/grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly earthed/grounded.
●
●
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
WARNING!
●
●
Improper earthing/grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
Venting requirements
IMPORTANT!
To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside — Do not vent
exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
●
●
For ducted installation it is recommended that rigid or semi-rigid ducting is used. This
will require a round hole in the ceiling or wall. Care should be taken to position the hole
correctly.
●
●
Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible, for optimal efficiency.
Elbows and transitions increase noise and reduce air flow efficiency.
●
●
Flexible metal ducting should only be used as a last resort in difficult installations, if used
ensure that it is straight, smooth and extended as much as possible.
Vent through roof
Vent through exterior wall
