Electric installation
CAUTION: Before any intervention into the interior of the water heater,
disconnect it from the power supply network!

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

After connecting to the water and power supply, the heater is ready for use. By
turning the thermostat knob, water temperature can be set between 10 °C and 75 °C.
We recommend that the knob be set to the position "eco" ensuring the most
economic operation of the water heater. This way, the water temperature is
maintained at 55 °C while the operation also results in less lime sediment as well as
in less heat losses than is the case at higher temperatures. During the operation of
an electric heater can hear noise in the water heater. The light indicator shows the
operation of the heating element.
When the water heater is not in use for longer periods of time, it should be protected
from freezing by setting the temperature to " ". Do not disconnect the power. Thus
the temperature of water is maintained at about 10 °C. Should you choose to
disconnect the power, the water heater should be thoroughly drained before the
onset of freezing conditions. Water from the heater is drained through the inlet pipe of
the heater. For this purpose, a special fitting (T-fitting) must be mounted between the
relief valve and the heater inlet pipe, or a discharge tap. The heater can be
discharged directly through the relief valve, by rotating the handle or the rotating
valve cap to the same position as for checking the operation. Before discharge, make
sure the heater is disconnected from the power supply, and open the hot water on the
connected mixer tap. After discharging through the inlet pipe, there is still some water
left in the water heater. The remaining water will be discharged after removing the
heating flange, through the heating flange opening.
The external parts of the water heater can be cleaned with a mild detergent solution.
Do not use solvents and abrasives.
With regular service inspections you will ensure faultless functioning and long life of
the heater. Tank corrosion warranty applies only if all the prescribed regular
inspections of the protective anode wear have been made. The period between
regular inspections should not be longer than stated in the warranty certificate.
Inspections should be carried out by authorised service providers that will record
each inspection on the warranty statement of the product. Upon inspection the
service provider will inspect the amount of wear on the anti-corrosion anode and, if
necessary, clean the limescale that accumulates depending on the quality, quantity
