"INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING
- Identify where you want to install the heater, providing sufficient clearance around the unit
(Fig.2).
- e PICCOLO heater is partially enclosed and clearance restrictions must be respected (Fig.
2).
e heater should be installed no lower than 30 cm (12 in.) from the floor. Leave a minimum
clearance of 10 cm (4 in.) on each side of the heater, 20 cm (8 in.) and 60 cm (24 in.) in front for
a proper air circulation.
- Clear a rectangular opening of 37.2 cm (143/5 in.) high, 31.5 cm (123/8 in.) wide and 8,5 cm (33/8
in.).Deep between the dreams of the wall (Fig. 3).
- Make sure that the electrical wires (and the pilot wire if needed) come out of the top left corner
of the wall opening (Fig.3).
- The heater can be dismantled in 3 pieces (Fig.3) :
the front facade (1), the ventilation block and panel
controls (2) and the built-in (3).
To dismantle the heater :
- Take off the facade by removing the 2 screws located
on the panel control and the 2 screws located at the
bottom of the facade (Fig. 4).
- Take off the ventilation block by removing the 2
screws (Fig. 5, A) and slide the ventilation block to
click the hooks (Fig. 5, B).
