2.- INSTALLATION
ACCESORIES
The electric water heater is supplied with insulating dielectric bushings and
with a safety valve. These items are in the packaging.
LOCATION
Both the wall to which the immersion heateris installed and its retaining
screws and blocks must be able to bear the weight of the appliance when
filled with water.In the case of a thin wall, counterplates must be used on the
other side of the wall.
N.B.- The immersion heater must be installed in such a way that the
plug of the power cable is accessible.
The option of installing the immersion heater horizontally or vertically makes
it easy to install it anywhere in the house.However, it is recommended to
place it as close as possible to the point where the hot water will be used;
this will avoid temperature losses of the water as it goes through the pipes.
When the immersion heater is installed vertically, leave a minimum space of
50 cm under the pipe outlet, to be able to access the electrical parts and
make it easier to service and repair.
When it is installed horizontally, the immersion heater must always be on a
wall or vertical plane with the inflow and outlet pipes laid out as indicated in
Figure 1. When it is installed horizontally, the hot water outlet must be
in the upper part of the immersion heater.
If it is near to a wall, leave a space of 50 cm so that the electrical parts can
be accessed and making it easier to service and repair.Never install the
immersion heater horizontally with the wall brackets on the floor or on
a roof or horizontal plane.
HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION
WARNING TO THE INSTALLER:The insulating bushings, supplied with the
immersion heater, must be fitted to the inflow and outlet pipes, and Teflon
tape on pipe threads used to eliminate risks of galvanic couplings. Bushing
tightening torque:3.5 kgm.
Before carrying out hydraulic connection, the supply pipes must be cleaned
to ensure that no foreign or metallic particles enter the water heater.
