DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLE OF WORK
The appliance consists of a body, flange at the bottom side /for water heaters intended for vertical mounting/ or at the sides /for water heaters intended for horizontal mounting/, protective plastic panel safety-return valve.

1. The body consists of a steel reservoir (water tank) and housing (outer shell) with thermal insulation placed in-between made of ecologically clean high density polyurethane foam, and two pipes with thread G ½ ‘’ for cold water supply (marked by a blue ring) and hot water outlet pipe (marked by a red ring).
   The inner tank may be made of steel protected form corrosion by a special glass-ceramics coating.

2. The flange is outfitted with: electric heater and thermostat. The water heaters with glass-ceramics coating are outfitted with a magnesium protector.
   The electric heater is used for heating the water in the tank and is managed by the thermostat, which automatically maintains the set temperature.
   The thermostat has a built in overheating safety device, which switches of power to the heater when the water temperature reaches excessive values. In the event this device is tripped, please consult a service station.
   The magnesium protector provides additional corrosion protection to the internal tank of heaters outfitted with glass-ceramics coating.

3. The safety-return valve prevents the appliance’s complete emptying in the event the cold water supply is interrupted. The valve protects the appliance from pressure increases higher than the allowed value during heating (! pressure increases upon an increase of temperature), via release of excess pressure during the drainage opening.
   Attention! The safety-return valve cannot protect the appliance in the event of water mains pressure in excess of the acceptable pressure stated for the appliance.

MOUNTING AND SWITCHING ON

• Attention! Improper installation and connection of the appliance may make it hazardous for the health and life of consumers. It may cause grievous and permanent consequences, including but not limited to physical injuries and/or death. Improper installation and connection of the appliance may also lead to damage to the consumers’ property /damage and/ or destruction/, or to that of third persons, as a result of, but not limited to flooding, explosion and/or fire. Installation, connection to the main water and power supply, and putting into operation must be carried out by certified electricians and technical personnel certified in installation of this category of appliances, who have obtained their license in the state where the installation and commissioning of the appliance are carried out, and in compliance with its local legislation.

1. Mounting
   We recommend the mounting of the device at close proximity to locations where hot water is used, in order to reduce heat losses during transportation. In the event the device is mounted in a bathroom, the selected location must exclude the possibility of water spray contact from the showerhead or portable showerhead attachment.
   The appliance is affixed to a wall via the mounting brackets attached to the unit’s body. Two hooks are used for suspending the appliance (min. Ø 10 mm) set firmly in the wall (not included in the mounting set). The mounting bracket’s construction designed for water heaters intended for vertical mounting is universal and allows a distance between the hooks of 220 to 310 mm (fig. 1).
   Attention! In order to prevent injury to user and/or third persons in the event of faults in the system for providing hot water, the appliance must be mounted in premises outfitted with floor hydro insulation (or) plumbing drainage. Don’t place objects, which are not waterproof under the appliance under any circumstances. In the event of mounting the appliance in premises not outfitted with floor hydro insulation, a protective tub with a plumbing drainage must be placed under the appliance.
   Notice: the set does not include a protective tub and the user must select the same.

Upon connecting the water heater to the water mains you must consider the indicative color markings /rings/ affixed to the pipes: blue for cold /incoming/ water, red for hot /outgoing/ water.

The mounting of the safety return-valve supplied with the water heater is obligatory. The return-valve must be mounted on the cold water supply pipe, in observance of the direction arrow stamped on its body, indicating the incoming water’s direction. Additional stopcocks must not be mounted between the safety return-valve and the water heater.

Exception: If the local regulations (norms) require the usage of another protection valve or mechanism (in accordance with EN 1487 or EN 1489), then it must be bought additionally. For mechanisms operating in accordance with EN 1487 the announced operational pressure must be no more than 0.7 MPa. For other protection valves, the pressure at which they are calibrated must be 0.1 MPa lower than the one marked on the appliance’s sign. In these cases the safety valve which the appliance is supplied with should not be used.

• Attention! The presence of other /old/ safety return-valves may lead to a breakdown of your appliance and they must be removed.
  Attention! Other type of stopping armature is not allowed between the protection return valve (the protective device) and the appliance.

• Attention! The attaching of the safety return-valve to threads longer than 10 mm is not allowed, otherwise this may damage the valve and poses danger for your appliance.

• Attention! With appliances for vertical assembly, the safety valve has to be connected to the ingoing pipe with the safety plastic panel of the appliance being taken off. After it has been assembled it should be in position as shown on Fig. 3 and fig.4.

• Attention! The safety valve and the pipe between the valve and the water heater must be protected from freezing. During hose draining – its free end must be always open to the atmosphere (not to be immersed). Make sure that the hose is also protected from freezing.
  Opening the cold-water stopcock of the water supply piping network and opening the hot-water stopcock of the water-mixing faucet carries out the filling of the water heater with water. After the filling is complete, a constant stream of water must begin to flow from the water-mixing faucet. Now you can close the hot water stopcock.
  In the event you must empty the water heater, first you must cut off its power supply. The inflow of water from the water mains must first be terminated and the hot water tap of the mixing-faucet must be opened. The water tap 7 (fig 4) must be opened to drain the water from water tank. If there is no such tap build in the pipe line, than the water can be drain directly from inlet pipe of water tank .In the event of removing the flange, the discharge of several liters of water, which remain in the water tank, is normal.

• Attention! Measures must be undertaken to prevent damage from discharging water during draining. In the event that the water mains piping, pressure exceeds the pressure stated on the appliance (outlined here above in s. II and on the appliance’s rating plate), it shall be necessary to mount a pressure-reducing valve; otherwise the water heater shall not function correctly. The Manufacturer does not assume any liability for problems arising out of the appliance’s improper use.

OPERATION
Switch on:
Before switching on the appliance for first time, make sure that the water heater is properly connected to the power supply network and full with water.
The appliance is switched on by a switch integrated into the installation, described in item 3.2 of Section IV, or upon connecting the plug to the electrical contact (in the case of an extension cable with plug).

IMPORTANT: Models that do not have thermostat control knobs have automatic water temperature preset by the manufacturer.

Temperature setup (for models with adjustable thermostat) – This setup allows the gradual setting of the desired temperature, achieved by using a handle on the control panel.
THE CONTROL LAMP on the panel indicates the state (the mode) in which the appliance is placed: it is lit when the water is being heated and is switched off when the specified by the thermostat water temperature level is reached.
Position e (Energy-save mode) – At this mode, water temperature reaches up to approximately 60°С. Heat losses are reduced in this way.
Protection according to the temperature (valid for all models).
The appliance is equipped with a special facility (thermal circuit-breaker) for protection against over-heating of the water, which is switching off the heater from the electricity network, when the temperature reaches too high values.

Attention! When this device operates, it does not self-reset and the appliance will not work. Please call an authorized service for solving the problem.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Under normal use of the heater, under the influence of high temperature, lime scale /the so-called lime scale layer/ is deposited upon the heating element’s surface. This worsens the heat exchange between the heating element and water. The heating element’s surface temperature increases along /of boiling water/. The thermoregulator begins to switch on and off more frequently. A ‘’deceptive” activation of the thermal protection is possible. Due to these facts, the manufacturer recommends preventive maintenance of your water heater every two years by an authorized service center or service base. This protective maintenance must include cleaning and inspection of the anode protector (for water heaters with glass-ceramic coating), which shall be replace with a new one if need arises. Each preventive maintenance of the said type must be entered in the appliance’s warranty card and must outline date of performing the preventive maintenance, company performing the preventive maintenance, name of person performing the preventive maintenance, and signature.
Non-fulfillment of the above requirement may terminate the free of charge maintenance of your boiler. In order to clean the appliances use a damp cloth. Do not clean with abrasive or solvent content detergents. Do not pour water over the appliance.
The manufacturer does not bare the responsibility for all consequences caused by not obeying the instructions, given hereby.
