1°) INSTALLATION
See General Warnings 1 to 6
Installation of vertical wall mounted water-heater: To enable the heating element to be replaced, leave free space below the ends of the pipes of the
appliance. Small capacities water heaters Ø255 and Ø338 (see fig. 2/3); medium capacities water heater range Ø433 and Ø505 (see fig. 4)
Installation of a horizontal water-heater: (see fig. 5). When the water heater is in place, the water connections must imperatively be in vertical position
below the appliance
Allow access to parts that may need to be replaced.
2°) WATER CONNECTION
See General Warnings 10 to 14
All water supply pipes must be thoroughly cleaned before connection. The connection of the hot water outlet must be made using a cast iron or steel sleeve
of a dielectric union in order to avoid corrosion of the tubes (due to direct contact between iron and copper). A brass union must not be used.
Unvented installation (see. fig 6): A new safety device complied with the current standards (in Europe EN 1487) must be fitted with a rated pressure of 9
bar (0.9 Mpa), and dimension ½" or ¾". The safety valve must be protected from frost. No water accessory must be installed between the safety device
and the cold water inlet to the appliance. A pressure reducing valve (not supplied) is recommended when water supply pressure exceeds 5 bar (0,5 MPa) .
Connect the safety device to an unpressurised outlet pipe in a frost free environment, with a continuous slope for the evacuation of the water during heating
up or draining the water heater).
Attention: Do not use the safety valve included in this packaging in France ("Métropole" and DOM-TOM...)
Vented installation (see fig. 7): (Supply for a single water drawing point). The installation must be equipped with a special mixer tap (not supplied).
Attention: each time the unit heats up, water will flow from the tap. Do not block this flow.
3°) ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (fig. A)
The water heater can be connected and powered only by a single-phase 230V~ AC mains supply. Connect the water heater via a fixed duct with a cross
section of 2.5 mm2. For that, use standard channelling (fixed or fluted conduit) to the calibrated receptacle in the cover. For appliances supplied with a cable
or a plug (prohibited in France), connect up directly. The earthing conductor must be connected to earth or lead the earth wire to the terminal provided
indicated by the symbol . This connection is absolutely necessary for safety reasons. The green/yellow earth lead must be longer than the two live
wires. Installation must include upstream of the appliance, an all pole cut-out device (contact opening at least 3 mm: fuse, breaker switch). When the water
pipes are made of insulating material, the electrical contacts must be protected by a 30 mA earth-leakage breaker conforming to the standards in force.
Thermal circuit breaker: All our products are equipped with a thermostat with thermal circuit breaker and manual resetting which cuts off the power supply
to the water heater in case of overheating. Warning: If the safety trips a) switch off the power before taking any further action, b) remove the cover, c)
check the electrical connections, d) reset the thermal circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker keeps tripping, replace the thermostat. Never short
circuit the safety cut out or the thermostat. Connect the power supply only via the terminal.
4°) SETUP & OPERATION
WARNING: Never switch on the water heater without water. Before switching on, open the hot water taps, vent the pipes of air and fill the appliance.
Check the water tightness of the pipe work and the door seal below the cover. In case of a leak, tighten slightly. Check that the water safety devices are
working and fill the drain. Switch on the appliance. After 15 – 30 minutes, depending on the capacity of the appliance, water should drip from the
drain hole. This phenomenon is due to water expansion and is normal. Check the water tightness of the joints and the seal. During heating and
