4 Set-up and Location of the Distillation Apparatus
Protect yourself and the unit during transport and setup by working carefully and avoid danger of e. g.
shifting or tilting the unit as well as risk of injury by lifting heavy loads.
Caution, Distillation Apparatus models PD 4 R (net weight 21.8 kg), PD 8 R (net weight 35.8 kg) and
PD 12 R (net weight 40.9 kg) must be lifted, carried and transported to the location by at least two
persons. The Distillation Apparatus can be held between the four stands of the unit and lifted for setup.
The unit is suitable for both bench and wall mounting. It is only suitable for indoor use. Table-top setting-up on solid, even
and level surfaces only. Make sure to place the unit only on a watertight, temperature-resistant, non-flammable surface.
The location must provide sufficient space as well as the necessary carrying capacity for the total weight of the unit (unit
weight as per technical data, chapter 11 of this manual, plus weight of the filling).
For setting-up on the wall, check the carrying capacity of the wall in connection with the total weight of the unit (appli-
ance plus water filling, see Technical Data). Make sure to check the on-site fixing elements in order to guarantee safe hold
of the Distillation Apparatus. The fixing material must be suitable for the substrate. Use only tested and proven fixing ma-
terial.
There are two keyholes for wall mounting at the back of the Distillation Apparatus. Place two fixing screws (not included in
the scope of supply) in the wall in the distance of the two keyholes and nest the Distillation Apparatus on the keyholes. The
unit is delivered without fixing material.

The unit is not suitable for use in potentially explosive surroundings, e. g. during anaesthesia with inflammable gas or steam
types!
