When selecting and setting up the storage location, ensure the following:
▪ Protect stored goods against moisture (flooding, water from melting snow
and ice), dirt, pests such as rats, mice, termites and so on, and against
unauthorized access.
▪ Store the crates on timber beams and planks as a protection against ris-
ing damp and for better ventilation.
▪ Ensure sufficient carrying capacity of the ground.
▪ Keep entrance paths free.
▪ Check stored goods at regular intervals. Also take appropriate action after
storms, heavy rain or snow and so on.
Protect the packaging foil from direct sunlight so that it does not disintegrate
under the influence of UV rays, which would cause the packaging to lose its
sealing function.
If the product is installed more than 6 months after delivery, suitable mea-
sures must be taken without delay. The following measures can be used:
▪ Correctly regenerate the drying agent and restore the sealed packaging.
▪ Unpack the packed goods and store in a suitable storage space (well ven-
tilated, as dust-free as possible, humidity < 50% where possible).
