WARNING: The water heater must absolutely be grounded.
If you use your water heater without plug, absolutely run your appliance after connecting to grounded power line by means of fuse; if you use your water heater with plug, absolutely run it by inserting into the grounded plug.
Manufacturing company shall not be responsible for any damage due to operating without grounding.
WARNING: Do not operate your water heater without making sure that it is filled with full of water.
If water is flowing when you open the hot water tap, it means that the appliance is full of water.
WARNING: When the water heater will be mounted and operated for the first time, ask an authorized VOX service for help.
WARNING: Avoid installing the water heater in places where there is a risk of freezing.
WARNING:  Do not use electricity extension cables or multipliers.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended to be used by those with physical, sensorial and mental disability (including children) or with lack of experience and knowledge unless they are given supervision and method by a person, who is responsible for the safety of the appliances, about using the appliance.
WARNING: If the power cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the VOX authorized service staff in order to avoid a dangerous situation.

• Installation and repairs should always be done by Authorized Service.
• Producing company shall not be held responsible of any damage due to operations conducted by unauthorized persons.

WARNING: Your water heater has been manufactured for domestic use, and can be used only at home and for specified purposes.
It is not suitable for commercial or common usage.
WARNING: The water hotter than 50°C during usage can cause scalding or even death due to serious scalding. Please keep in mind that children, elderly and disabled people are more vulnerable to the risk of burning.

Safety Information on the Use of the Appliance
WARNING: The limiting thermostat will disable the resistance in case of excessive temperatures in the boiler or the failure of temperature setting thermostat.
WARNING: Safety valve is installed on to the cold water inlet of the water heater. This will prevent the draining of the water inside in case of a water cut.
CAUTION: The following conditions must be observed while installing and using the safety valve.

• As water may drip from the drainage tip, this pipe should be left open to the atmosphere. In order to prevent the dripping waters from causing any harm to the environment, you can connect it to a sewage drain by means of a hose.
• The appliance should be operated with intervals in order to prevent limescale accumulation and confirm that it is not blocked.
• While connecting the safety valve to the appliance, make sure that the drainage tip is downwards.
• Operation of the appliance for purposes other than its intended purpose may cause damage or dangerous conditions and renders the warranty void. Damages occurred due to these envi- The following ronments are compensated by the user.
• In order to prevent overloading of the electrical circuit, do not operate any other high-power appliance on the same circuit. Do not connect with extension cables or multi plugs. If you neglect, it may cause electric shocks and damages in the product.
• This appliance can be used by children at the age of 8 years old or above and by those with physical, sensorial and mental disability or with lack of experience and knowledge, provided that they are given supervision and instruction about safely use of the appliance and that the hazards caused by the appliance are understood by them.
• Safety valve mains used in the appliance may cause leakage at the drainage section if the water pressure exceeds 8 bars. This is normal. When the pressure reduces, the leakage will stop.
• As corrosion may be sped up if the water inside the appliance is discharged and the appliance stays empty for a long time, the reservoir should not stay water-free for a long time.
• Children should not be allowed to play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance should not be done by unattended children.
• Packaging materials are dangerous for children. Keep all packaging materials out of the reach of children.
• Before use, check the functions of your appliance accurately.

Functions and Features

of the water heater
The features marked with (*) works with only digital models
Strength against corrosion
The inner drum of your water heater, including the water input and output pipes are enamel plated following the welding operation are fully protected against corrosion. The heater resistance is protected against corrosion with Magnesium bar. Strength against water pressure Water heater’s inner drum is tested under 12 bar pressure considering the water mains pressure.
Effective Heat Isolation The water heater is isolated using a 50mm thick polyurethane heat isolation material between the main body sheet and the water drum. Thank to this material the water in it will be heated rapidly and cools down slowly. Limiting Thermostat The limiting thermostat will disable the resistance in case of excessive temperatures in the drum or the failure of temperature setting thermostat.
Safety Valve Safety valve is installed on to the cold water inlet of the water heater. A kind of safety, this valve will prevent the draining of the water inside in case of a water cut. Also the same valve will discharge water

Cleaning and Maintenance

Disconnect from the electrical mains before handling any operation.

• Install a transparent drain hose to the drain output of the safety valve located at the cold water input of the water heater at a location away from freezing.

• Pressure will increase with the operation of the water heater.
  Dripping of water at the safety valve is normal.

• Drain water from the boiler setting the safety valve latch to upright position. To check the operation of the safety valve, it is recommended to set the latch to upright position once a month to see if water flows out.

• If water is drained through safety valve, do not operate until water comes from the hot water tap.

• To get the optimum performance from your electrical water heater, limescale that my form on the resistance due to the water hardness and the high temperatures should be removed regularly by the Authorized Service.
