OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

A special low-pressure combination faucet has to be used with this product.

Opening the hot water valve (red) on the combination faucet activates automatically heating of the flowing water. Turning the heating on is signalled with a red light on the front cover of the heater. Output temperature is controlled directly by the hot water valve on the combination faucet through water flow change. Its temperature drops as the flow grows. Closing the hot water valve on the combination faucet automatically deactivates heating, the signal light goes off and electricity consumption discontinues.

SAFETY FEATURES OF THE PRODUCT

1. PRESSURE SWITCH
   Shall not close el. circuit if water flow is insufficient.

2. SAFETY ELECTRONICS
   Automatically discontinues water heating for a period necessary if the appliance overheats. Interrupted run of the heater indicates either failure in following the operation conditions advised by the manufacturer, or a failure of the heater. The cause of faulty function has to be removed immediately since there is a risk of damaging the appliance.

3. PRESSURE FUSE
   Protects from excessive inner water pressure. If this fuse is inactive, water starts flowing out on the rear side of the heater. If this situation occurs, immediately close both valves of the combination faucet and disconnect power supply.

Make sure the sieve in the cold water supply to the heater, as well as the pearlator and shower element are cleaned regularly. If the above components get clogged, water flow reduces and the appliance will be put out of service until the causes are removed. All the safety features have to be repaired only by an authorised service shop worker!

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

WATER CONNECTION

Regarding 100 % check by water pressure test, a little amount of water can be left in the heater which causes no harm.

Coldwater supply is indicated with a blue symbol, and hot water outflow is indicated with a red symbol.
The appliance is connected to a drinkable water supply and is designed for the preparation of hot service water.

ELEVATED INSTALLATION

1. Flow heater
2. Holder
3. Spiral dive 2 pcs
4. Wall plug, 2 pcs Ø 8
5. Screw fixing the upper cover of the heater to the holder – 2 pcs, Ø 3.9 x 16
6. Sieve
7. Alligator faucet nut, 2 pcs
8. Sealing, 2 pcs
9. Faucet

11. Water inlet neck G 1/2″
12. Lower cover
13. Discharge arm with sealing
14. Spray head with sealing and pearlator
15. Security sheet, 2 pcs

Close the main water inflow. Screw a low-pressure combination faucet with a decorative rosette on the water inlet neck G 1/2″. Seal the threads on the water inlet. Insert sealing rings into the outlet terminals of the faucet. Loosen 2 screws fastening the cover on the sides of the flow heater so that the thrust bottoms in the holes on the rear side created a space for sliding in the attached holder. Mount on the holder. Mount the flow heater preliminary on the combination faucet and evenly tighten the alligator nuts using wrench No 16. Mark holes for wall plugs on the side. Disconnect the flow heater from the faucet. Bore the marked holes on the wall with a 8 mm drill bit into the depth of 40 mm. Place the wall plugs into the hole and fix the holder with two spiral dives. Insert a sieve into the flow heater cold water inlet marked with an arrow unless this has already been done by the manufacturer. Put the heater on the fastened holder and tighten the 2 screws on the sides of the flow heater. Connect the combination faucet by even tightening of the alligator nuts. Before opening the main water closure, unscrew the pearlator on the drain arm or the shower saver.

First open the cold water valve on the combination faucet to let contaminated water flow out. Open the hot water valve and bleed the flow heater.

Mount the pearlator on the drain arm only when clean and bled water flows out. After that, the appliance can be connected to power supply.

LOW INSTALLATION

Close the main water inflow. Fasten the combination faucet under the hand basin or the sink. Connect the cold water pipe (hose) of the combination faucet to the corner valve of cold water inlet. The corner valve outlet must have thread 3/8″. Mount the flow heater on the wall in the same manner like for the elevated installation. The inlet and outlet of the heater must be directed upwards. When fixing the heater make sure the distance for connecting the inlet and outlet pipe (hose) of the combination faucet is sufficient. Connect the cold water inlet and outlet pipe (hose) of the combination faucet to the heater as indicated by colour arrows. Before tightening the alligator, nuts insert a sieve in the cold water supply pipe – unless the manufacturer has already done so. Open the main water lock.

Proceed in the same way as described for the elevated installation to bleed the heater and remove impurities from water.

After that, the appliance can be connected to power supply.

CONNECTING THE HEATER TO ELECTRIC NETWORK

Heater – connect to fixed supply.

The appliance must be connected with a protective conductor! Electric installation of heaters with fixed connection shall only be performed by an authorised firm holding a licence for works on electric equipments. Correctness of installation must be confirmed in the warranty certificate. Without that confirmation, the warranty for the product is not applicable!

Parts that require intervention in the electric part of the appliance shall only be replaced with an authorised electric service shop! Failing to follow the instructions advised by the manufacturer constitutes cessation of the title to warranty repair!

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Maintenance of flow heater is very simple. It is only limited to maintaining its surface cleanliness, checking the cleanliness of the sieve in the cold water inlet, and cleaning of the pearlator or the shower element.

Pearlator
During cleaning, unscrew the pearlator from the swivel arm. Take the element out and clean the holes of it. Proceed in the opposite manner to assemble it.

Shower element
When cleaning the shower element, loosen the screw on the front drain surface. Take out individual elements and clean the flow channels on the periphery of the elements, e.g. using a soft brush. Proceed in the opposite manner to assemble it.
If, despite the cleaning, the water flow of the heater is lower, you need to clean the screen in the water inlet to the heater.

Cleaning the screen in the water inlet
First disconnect the appliance using the protection element from the power supply and familiarise other heater users with its disconnection. Then close the water supply. Dismantle the heater from the wall and from the water inlet. Clean the screen (sieve) and proceed in the opposite manner to mount the heater back on.

Protection from freezing and damage due to frost
If the flow heater is mounted at a place with a risk of freezing in winter (e.g. cottages or cabins not occupied in winter), the appliance has to be dismantled and store it in such manner to avoid its exposure to frost. Pure removal of residual water in the heating element and labyrinth by blowing through the drain arm is not enough, and does not protect against damage caused by frost.

If the stated instructions are not followed and the appliance gets damaged by frost, the title to warranty repair ceases due to improper use of the product.

Wipe the outer surfaces of the flow heater and the combination faucet with a soft clout damped in a detergent solution. Do not use aggressive solutions or rough cleaning agents! Let an expert deal with larger maintenance and repairs!

GRAPH OF WATER HEATING

Temperature of heated water
The graph shows the dependence of the maximum water flow A [l/min.] on the flowing water temperature B [°C] for inputs of 3.5 kW, 5 kW, 6.5 kW and 8 kW. The data applies if the inlet water temperature is 10 °C.
Example: In a type PTO 6.5 heater, water with a temperature of 50 °C will flow out if the inlet water temperature is 10 °C and a flow rate 2.5 l/min.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

SAFETY NOTICE
The safety instructions contained in this chapter are based not only on the requirements of the EC standardised standards and guidelines but take into consideration also the general safety of products, and result from practical experiences of users’ behaviour. Consider any analogical or partially variant information that may occur in the next chapters of the present Manual secondary, and always follow the instructions stated in this particular chapter!

• Prior to putting the appliance into operation please read carefully this Service Manual, view the figures and keep the Manual for further reference.
• Before the first start-up and always after any reassembly to the water supply pipe, or in the event of an interruption in the supply, bleed the appliances. Proceed as follows: Turn off the power supply, open the red valve and leave it open until the water from the instantaneous heater starts to flow pit smoothly. This will bleed the heater which prevents the appliance from overheating.
• Replacement of components that require intervention in the electrical part of the appliance may only be carried out by a qualified electrical service shop! Failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions will void the right to warranty repair!
• Check whether the information on the type plate corresponds with the voltage in your electric socket.
• Never use the appliance with a damaged supply cord or plug, unless operates properly, if it fell on the ground and got damaged, or if it fell in water. In such cases take the appliance to an authorised service shop and get it checked, in order to ensure its safety and proper functioning.
• The appliance is only designed to be used in households and for similar purposes!It is an appliance available to general public, designed to be placed in residential or commercial buildings.
• In order to ensure supplementary protection, we recommend a current protector (RCD) to be installed in the electric circuit of the bathroom power supply, with rated operating current within 30 mA. Consult revision technician or electrician, as the case may be.
• Separate electric circuit must be protected for type PTO 3.5 with 16 A circuit breaker at least, for type PTO 5 with 25 A circuit breaker at least, for types PTO 6.5 and PTO 8 with 3×16 A circuit breaker at least.
• Electric and water supply installation must comply with valid electrotechnical regulations and standards.
• The heater must be installed in a non-freezing environment only, otherwise the product may get damaged. In case of freezing do not start the heater.
• The heater must be permanently connected to fixed supply with an installed device enabling disconnection of all supply poles (except for the protective conductor), with the minimum 3 mm distance of contacts in open state!
• Specific water resistance at 15 °C must not drop below 1300 Ohm.cm (requirement of the ČSN EN 60335-2-35 standard). Drinkable water generally conforms to the above requirement. Get the information on water conductivity at the water supply administrator or at the hygienic station.
• The minimum and maximum pressure of water in the supply piping must conform to the values stated in the technical data sheet of the heater.
• The product’s IP protection is 25; it can be installed in bathrooms, shower inserts and lavatories pursuant to ČSN 33 2000-7-701 in zones 1, 2 and 3 (Figure 1).
• The flow heater is protected against spurting water (IP X5).
• Do not cover the discharge outlets! Those outlets serve as ventilation to release water overpressure during heating. For that reason, minor water dripping occurs during heating. The dripping cannot be eliminated by tightening the faucet valve! By forced tightening of the valve you may damage the faucet! This phenomenon with these heater types is normal and therefore do not consider it a defect.
• On the first putting the appliance into operation, unscrew the pearlator on the drain arm, or the shower adaptor, and open the blue combination faucet valve. With cold water flow the impurity residues left after the assembly and tightening of the valves will be cleared off the cold water supply piping. Close the blue valve. Open the red valve and let it open until the water from the flow heater starts flowing continuously (air removal). After fitting the pearlator or attaching the shower, the heater can be connected to power supply.
• The flow heater is designed with an open outflow (non-pressure). For that reason, no stop valve or any other fitting or device shall be connected at the outflow. Use special low-pressure combination faucets only, and other accessories. These components are also supplied by the heater manufacturer.
• Should you find out that there is lack of water in the water supply piping, close the hot water valve immediately to avoid flowing the water from the heater out back into the water conduit!
• If there is air in the heater (e.g. in case of water supply discontinuation), bleed it similarly as when assembling the appliance (do not forget to disconnect the heater from the power supply).
• The flow heater is designed for heating of cold running water only. It shall not be used for other heating, e.g. by connecting to electric tank etc.
• Check regularly the flow and remove the scale from the pearlator and shower (see IV Maintenance Instructions).
• The heater must not be submerged under water (not even partially) or installed in an explosive environment.
• Prevent children and irresponsible people from handling without supervision of a competent person!
• Do not perform any interventions or repairs of the flow heater as long as it is connected to power network.
• Let an authorised service shop workers deal with any repairs.
• Avoid mechanical damage of the appliance and damage due to frost.
• The supply pipe must not be damaged by sharp or hot objects or open flame, and must not be submerged in water.
• Use only undamaged and correct power extension cords.
• If the supply inlet of this appliance is damaged, it has to be replaced by the manufacturer, its service technician or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent a hazardous situation from occurrence.
• Never use the appliance for a purpose different from that being defined and described in this
• Manual! Failing to follow the instructions advised by the manufacturer constitutes cessation of the right for warranty repair.
• The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damages caused by improper handling the appliance (e.g. fire, burning, scalding, etc.), and shall not be held liable for warranty of the appliance should the above safety instructions are not followed.
