Preparing The Condensate Discharge - Olimpia splendid Unico R32 EDGE Hinweise Für Die Verwendung Und Pflege

• Drill the holes for anchoring the wall fixing bracket using the 4 holes at the ends of the bracket as indi-
cated on the drilling template as a first possibility (fig. 6).
• If the wall is of poor consistency, it is advisable to use a larger number of fixing anchors.
The bracket offers multiple possibilities both in the number of fixings and in their position.
• The greater weight of the appliance is on the right, therefore it is preferable to ensure a more solid fixing
from this side.
Carefully check the characteristics and consistency of the wall in order to possibly choose wall
plugs specific for particular situations.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for any underestimates made in the
structural consistency of the anchor prepared by the installer.
Therefore, pay utmost attention to the foregoing operation that could cause
serious injury/damage to people/property if carried out incorrectly.
• When installing models equipped with heating pump, if no condensate discharge was built into the wall
(see paragraph 2.4.2), in order to drain the condensate it will be necessary to drill a hole through the
wall in the position shown on the template.

2.4.2 - Preparing the condensate discharge

• As regards machines with heat pump, a condensation drain pipe (fig. 1 - ref. N) (supplied) to be inserted
in the specific connection (A) (fig. 7).
Remove the cap (B) (fig. 7) before inserting the condensation drain pipe .
When the max level is reached, a solenoid valve ensures the condensate will flow out from the internal
tray.
• For cold-only machines, connect the condensate discharge pipe if you intend running the unit at low
outdoor temperatures (lower than 23°C).
• Since condensate drains by gravity, there must be a minimum slope of at least 3% at every point of the
discharge line. Use a rigid or flexible tube having an inside diameter of at least 16 mm.
• If the line empties into a sewerage system, install a siphon before the point in which the pipe reaches
the main discharge, at least 300 mm below the inlet from the unit (fig. 8).
• If the drainpipe drains into a vessel (tank or other container), this container should not be sealed and
the drainpipe should not remain immersed in the water (see fig. 9).
• The hole through which the condensate pipe passes should always slope towards the outside (see fig.
10).
The exact position in which to place the pipe inlet, as compared to the machine, is shown on the drilling
template.
Make sure, in this case, that the water expelled outward does not damage or
disturb persons or property.
During the winter this type of drainage may cause sheets of ice to form.
