INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – OPERATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

The appliance should be installed as close as possible to the hot water taps in order to minimize piping heat loss. Leave at least a 50cm space in front of the electrical cover to facilitate service work and access to electrical parts.

The installer should use for the positioning of the device on the wall, four upat at least D10mm with the relevant screws of M10 mm, suitable for the type of the wall. He must be sure that the wall is capable to accept this kind of load.

ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS

HYDRAULIC CONNECTION

The water heater is supplied through a ½” 10 safety valve, which is necessary for proper operation and is placed inside the electrical cover. In case there is a non-return valve or pressure is >5 bar at the water mains a 8lt/10bar expansion tank should be installed at “cold” for electric water heaters of up to 80lt capacity and a 12lt/10bar for electric water heaters of 100lt and 120lt. What is more, an extra safety valve (8 bar) should be placed at “cold” (recommendable in case of water taps at the balcony) for the expansion relief, in case there is no other possible relief point.

ATTENTION! Do not modify the supplied safety valve or replace it with one of different specifications. In this case, the water heater is out of safety regulations, while, if is found out that the valve has been changed, the water heater is out of guarantee and our company is not liable for appliance’s faulty operation.

Use a spanner for the connection of this valve. Screw first the valve at the cold water pipe (BLUE) and then connect to the water supply with a flexible pipe.Connect hot water outlet pipe (RED) to the consumption circuit by means of a flexible pipe. The water heater should not come in contact with copper fitting. To connect it to a copper pipe installation, use brass or plastic connection fittings.

A drainage pipe should also be installed in the outlet of the pressure relief valve. The water may drip from the discharge pipe of the pressure-relief device and that this pipe must be left open to the atmosphere; The pipe must be placed downwards and be fully protected against frost. It is also necessary to install a ball valve at the cold water supply.If the water of the supply network is of 3 to 5 German degrees hardness (or: 54-90 mg/lt CaCO3 ) the installation of a water softener device for the prevention of minerals deposits. If the water hardness is more than 5 German degrees (90 mg/lt CaCO3), the installation of the aforementioned device is mandatory.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

ATTENTION! The electrical connection of the water heater must be carried out by an authorized electrician. There should be a protection relay for the protection from electric shocks.

It should be controlled whether the circuit characteristics are in accordance with the data mentioned on the device label (line voltage 230V/50Hz). The electrical connection to the stable electric lines network should be carried out with the use of a bipolar switch with gap of at least 3mm and corresponding fuse (always in accordance with the technical specifications table). Remove electrical cover by unscrewing the relevant screws to access the electrical parts. Connect power supply to the thermostat’s terminals by means of proper gauged wire. The wiring diagram is shown in Diagram B and is also printed on the inner cover surface. Connect line to N and neutral to L. Connect earth wiring to the flange screw with the earth symbol. Adjust the automatic safety thermostat with a screwdriver, spinning the notch of the thermostat to reach the desired temperature (up to 60°C for the vertical models and up to 80°C for the horizontal and floor-type ones).

ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS WITH HEAT EXCHANGER

S. above. What is more, the following should be foreseen at the connection circuit of the burner to the electric water heater:

• Appropriate apparatus for the control of the temperature & of the heat exchanger’s supply to prevent the overheating of the electric water heater
• Isolation valves of the electric water heaters
• Automatic air bleeds at the upper points of the tubes, which should be perfectly insulated.
• Connection tubes of suitable angle, so as for the air not to be entrapped in the circuit For the heat exchanger connections union pieces should be used.

The following steps must be followed for the connection of the electric water heaters heat exchangers to the central heating burner:

1. Place the 0,5 bar BSP union piece to the inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger
2. Place ball valve of suitable section
3. At both outlet and inlet of the central heating burner place automatic air bleeds min. 20cm higher than the inlet of the heat exchanger.
4. Place insulation of min. 9mm thickness to all connection tubes.
5. Adjust the automated filling valve at 0,5bar above the static height (e.g for 15m height the automatic filling should be set at 2 bar).
6. Fill the system with water and check for leaks

STARTING AND OPERATION

Open main water supply valve to fill the appliance and simultaneously open a hot water tap to purge the appliance of air, that is until the water begins to come out in full flow from the hot water consumption switch supply.

ATTENTION: The heating element is to operate only provided that the device is full of water and the thermostat has been suitably set.

In order for the appliance to operate, we switch on the bipolar switch, supplying the heating element with power.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

In order to service, repair or clean, you should shut down the water heater by switching off the main current (switch off double-pole switch).

DRAINING THE WATER HEATER

For vertical and horizontal models:

1. Close the central supply point of the water mains.
2. Make sure that the hot water tap is closed.
3. Disconnect the cold water connection point and remove the safety valve.
4. Adjust a discharge pipe to the cold water pipe.
5. Open the hot water tap.

For floor-standing models

1. Disconnect cold and hot water connections and remove safety valve.
2. Set a rubber hose at the outer of the cold water inlet pipe.
3. Blow from the hot water pipe until siphon is made and -starts draining. After that, the water flows freely until the water heater is completely drained.

THERMOSTAT – HEATING ELEMENT REPLACEMENT

All electrical components carry the CE marking according to EN 60335-1 and EN60335-2-21 standards.

ATTENTION! Must be carried out by an authorized electrician.

To remove the clipped thermostat, pull it out. To work on the electrical heating element you should first drain the appliance. The electrical heating element is fixed on the flange. In order to replace it, you should first remove the flange loosing the respective nuts.

When you replace, make sure that sealing gasket, thermostat and electrical heating element are placed in their proper locations. It is recommended that the sealing gasket should be replaced each time you disassemble the water heater.

ATTENTION! Use only genuine parts from our company to ensure safe operation of the appliance.

THERMO-ELECTRICAL FUSE RESTORATION

If the water is overheated, the thermal safety switch will switch off both lines (line and neutral) of the electrical circuit.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

The magnesium anode should be checked every two years and replaced if required after disconnecting power and emptying the appliance. The safety valve should be checked at regular intervals (every six months) to ensure proper operation.

Possible damages due to anode wear is not covered by warranty.

ATTENTION!

• Do not consume hot water when the heating element is on.
• The hot water consumption taps should not drip, as this causes both power waste and irregular temperature increase with possibility of steam release and pressure increase at the appliance.
• If the water is not out-flowing hot, check that the water and electrical connections are made according to the respective paragraph’s instructions.
• If the connections are OK, it’s possible that the thermo-electrical fuse has been triggered, and should thus be fixed (s.above).
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by childrenunless they are older than 8 and supervised.
