OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

4.1 Switching the appliance on

Before connecting the appliance, make
sure that the wiring is correct and that the
water heater is full of water. The water
heater comprises an adjustable thermostat
that regulates the water temperature. The
pilot remains lit while the heating element
is operating and heating the water.
4.2 Emptying through the safety
valve
It is normal that when the water heater is
heating the water, the pressure increas-
es, the water expands and if this pressure
cannot be absorbed by the system, it must
be vacated. This is done through the safe-
ty valve hole, thus preventing the excess
pressure from remaining inside the water
heater.

4.3 Adjusting the temperature

m
WARNING
Being able to adjust the temper-
ature with the thermostat means
we can optimise energy use de-
pending on our comfort demands.
In any case, it is advisable not to
store water at a very low temper-
ature to prevent legionella.
We recommend the following:
– The temperature of the water inside the
water heater must be greater than 50º.
– In case of extended absence, before us-
ing it again, set the thermostat to the
maximum temperature for at least 24hrs.
Empty the water from the water heater
at different points and at different times.
– Keep taps and showers free from limes-
cale.
The lever on the protective cover can be
used to adjust the temperature of the ther-
mostat upwards or downwards depending
on whether a higher or lower temperature
is desired.

4.4 Safety limiting components

The electric water heater is equipped with a
dual safety thermostat in line with
current European standards.
The safety system is triggered in the event
water is abnormally overheated, which then
automatically switches off the power supply
to the heating element. In this case, a small
button will pop out. To reset the thermostat
and return it to operation, you need to press
the small button that has popped out with a
pointed object.

4.5 External cleaning

Clean the outer shell with a cloth and mild
soaps, never with organic-based solvents
or abrasive products (alcohol, gasoline,
turpentine, etc.).
4.6 Checking the effectiveness of
the safety valve
The safety valve needs to be checked reg-
ularly to avoid excess pressure within the
tank, which could damage the tank's enam-
el, and this will also allow safe use of the
appliance. When checking, remove any
limescale deposits that may have formed
over time.
