Preparations

• Setting up:

- Place the unit on an even, stable, clean, nonslip, dry and ﬁreproof surface�

- Keep at least 20 cm of open space on the front and rear side�

- The place for installation should be large enough and provide sucient air ventilation to ensure the room does not warm up excessively because of the heat from device radiates to the environment�

- Do not set up the device in the immediate vicinity of heat sources and do not expose to sun light�

- Cooling machine, pump motor and electronics produce intrinsic heat that is dissipated via the venting grids (3)! Never cover these venting grids!

Note: After setting up the device, wait at least one hour before starting the operation to avoid the damage to the cooling system�

• Connecting the tubings:

- Unscrew the union nuts and stoppers using a wrench (SW19) from the pump connector IN (14) and OUT

Stopper

(13)�



- Connect the hoses for circulating the external system to the pump connection M 16 x 1 for IN and OUT directly or with the olives�

- Screw the hose olives to the pump connection IN and OUT with union nuts� Slide the hoses (NW 12) onto the olives� The hoses must be secured with suitable clamps�


