1. INSTALLATION

1.1. Accessories

The electric water heater, or boiler by accumulation under pressure, is provided with basic elements
for its installation, such as:
• Insulating sockets.
• Safety valve.
These accessories are included within the packaging.

1.2. Placement

In order to fix the heater to the wall, you will have to use suitable rawlplugs, screws, or other fittings
to support the weight of the heater when it is full.

1.3. Location

150 mm
It is essential that the heater is situated as near as possible to the
place where hot water is required. In this way, water temperature
loss in the pipework can be avoided. Leave a minimum space of
500 mm below where the pipes exit the heater to allow access for
100 mm 100 mm
maintenance and repair and any necessary future maintenance
operations.
Do not install the heater horizontally with the wall supports horizontal
or over the floor.

1.4. Water system installation

540 mm
WARNING TO THE INSTALLER: the insulating sockets provided with
the heater, must be placed on the entrance and exit pipes to eliminate
the risk of galvanic pairs, as teflon is used in the thread of the pipes.
Minimum installation margins for
access and maintenance
A- The heater MUST be installed with the security fitting that comes
with it. No water system accessory may be placed between the security fitting and the cold water pipe
(stop cock, anti-return, etc).
The security fitting drainage outlet MUST be connected to a water drainage pipe that has to have a
diameter that is at least equal to the diameter of the pipe connected to the boiler, with a continuous
inclination, open to the atmosphere and with a minimum distance of 20 mm. During the warm-up time
the water expands producing a drip (approximately 3% of its capacity during each heating cycle). This
is not a cause for concern, because it is a normal phenomenon. Please ensure that the water drainage
conduct pipe is protected from frost.
To drain the heater, lift the handle of the security fitting. It is also necessary for this handle to be
periodically checked to avoid blockage by, for example: mud deposits, limescale deposits, etc.
B- When the pressure of the network is higher than 5 bars, it is necessary to install a pressure reducer
as near as possible to the meter.
