ATTENTION: DO NOT CONNECT TO THE MAINS BEFORE FILLING, IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE MAY OCCUR.

SAFETY WARNINGS

• Water heated to over 50 °C can cause serious, immediate burns if it comes directly out of the taps. Children, disabled persons and the elderly are particularly at risk. We recommend you fit a thermostatic mixing valve to the water supply pipe, marked red.
• The water temperatures inside the heater can reach up to 80 °C. Take care to adjust the water temperature in the tap by mixing it with cold water, inserting your hands only. Do not let water come into contact with the rest of your body directly at first.
• The unit must be installed and set up by a qualified technician in compliance with local laws and health and safety regulations.
• Any fault that occurs affecting electrical components must be checked and repaired by the Authorized Technical Service only.
• During winter, if the heater is going to be disconnected from the power supply for a long period of time, the water tank can be emptied to prevent damage from freezing, if this risk applies. Please remember to turn off the heater before emptying it.
• If the power cable is worn or frayed, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or persons qualified to do so, to prevent any possible danger.
• Ensure that the electrical installation is fitted with the mandatory differential switch in compliance with regulations.
• The electric heater must be installed in such a way that any person who is taking a bath or shower does not have to use the switches and other set-up devices, maintaining 0.6 metres between the electric heater and the bath or shower.
• This unit may be used by children aged 8 years and up and by persons with impaired physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack of experience or knowledge, provided they are given the appropriate supervision and instructions to use the heater in a safe manner and they understand the hazards associated with its use. This unit is not a toy. Children must never play with it. The cleaning and maintenance to be carried out by the user must not be done by children without supervision.
• The hot water temperature is controlled by a thermostat that also acts as a safety device which can be re-armed to prevent dangerous over-heating.
• Do not tamper with the excess pressure safety device, only move it from time to time to ensure that it is not stuck and eliminate any dirt or grease that may have been deposited on it; the device intake tube must be fitted with a safety device that complies with the relevant standard, calibrated to a maximum pressure of 0.8 MPa, to include at least: a tap, retention valve, safety valve and hydraulic load cut-off.
• It is normal for water to drip from the excess pressure safety device and the EN 1487 safety device when the unit is heating up. For this reason, a drain must be fitted that is in the open air, with a pipe continuously tilted downwards, in an area that is not subjected to sub-zero temperatures.

Water hardness

The unit must not operate with water of hardness under 12°F; however, with particularly hard water (above 25°F), it is advisable to use a properly calibrated and monitored water softener, in this case the residual hardness must not fall below 15°F.

The device is equipped with a smart function that allows it to adapt to the consumption of each user profile. If operating correctly, the device has a daily consumption of “QElec” (“less than that of an equivalent product without a smart functionality”).

Dimension

• The TDF plus100-150L model has 2 metal mounting brackets.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

The unit must be installed and set up by a qualified technician in accordance with the rules laid down by local health and safety regulations, such as the “Low voltage Electro-Technical Regulations”, the
Technical Building Code and relevant local regulations.
The unit heats water to a temperature below boiling point. It must be connected to a main water supply that is compatible with the unit’s performance levels and capacity.

Before connecting the water heater, the following steps must be carried out:

• Check that the characteristics (see data plate) meet the customer’s requirements.
• Read the instructions on the packaging label and on the unit’s data plate.

Installing the water heater

This unit has been designed to be installed inside buildings only, in accordance with current regulations. Furthermore, installers are asked to follow these recommendations in the presence of:

• Humidity: Do not install the unit in closed (unventilated) or damp/humid spaces.
• Freezing conditions: Do not install the unit in areas where the air temperature may drop to critical levels and there is a risk of freezing conditions.
• Sunlight: Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, even if there are windows.
• Dust/vapours/gas: Do not install the unit if particularly hazardous substances are present, such as vapours, dust, or gas saturates.
• Electrical discharges: Do not install the unit directly connected to electrical power sources that are not protected against surges.

Location for installing the unit

It is convenient to install the heater as close as possible to the water mains supply to minimize heat loss from the pipes. TDF plus water heaters are always installed with downstream water connections. To facilitate inspections and internal cleaning, a free space must be left of at least 25 cm between the protective cover (pos.1,)of the heater and any fixed obstacle.

WALL-MOUNTED FITTING

In the case of brick or cavity block walls, partition walls with limited static or any kind of brickwork other than those mentioned, a preliminary inspection must first be conducted of the system to be used to mount the unit.

Installation Procedure

1. Ensure that the surface of the area where you are going to mount the heater can support four times the weight of the heater when filled with water.
2. Use a power drill to make the holes to a depth of at least 90 mm in the wall. These holes must be level on the same line.
3. Insert two wall plugs in the hole, screw in the screw hooks and place them facing upwards, then raise the electric heater and aim for the hooks, fasten it firmly into position and check the wall plugs are not loose to ensure that the electric heater is firmly mounted.

Note: In particular, if you need to install the heater in a bedroom or bathroom, the specified installation space must be complied with: Prohibited Space and Protected Space

• No switches, power sockets or lighting may be installed in the prohibited area.
• No switches may be installed in the protection area but safety power sockets may be installed there.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

• Connect the water heater intake and outlet with pipes or accessories that are able to withstand temperatures over 100°C at a pressure that exceeds working pressure (8 bar). Therefore, we strongly recommend that no materials should be used that cannot withstand high temperatures.
• When fitting the water pipes follow the basic rules to prevent corrosion: “Do not use copper before iron or steel in the direction of the water flow”. To prevent galvanic pairs and their destructive effect, use Teflon tape to thread the insulating hoses supplied with the heater to its two pipes.
• Thread the cold-water intake pipe (blue) to the electrolytic hose and from this to the hydraulic safety subassembly with the draining device supplied with the heater. Fit a cut-off valve to the cold-water supply pipe.

IMPORTANT: the cut-off valve must always be in the open position whenever the heater is switched on,

• Some countries require alternative safety devices to be used and there may other requirements under local regulations: the installer must check the suitability of the safety device that he or she tends to use. Do not fit cut-off device (valve, tap, etc.) between the safety unit and the heater itself.
• Connect the hot water distribution pipe to the hot water outlet pipe insulating hose (red) from the heater.
• The hydraulic safety valve or assembly supplied with the water heater is fitted with a retention and overpressure valve. The latter opens to a maximum of 8 bars. If the pressure in the water installation exceeds 5 bars, fit a pressure reducer, as per regulations.

Likewise, it is essential to attach the drainage nozzle of the safety valve (2) to a drain.
This conduit must be visible and sloping towards the drainpipe.

Description of the safety valve

• 3- Device for emptying water from the heater
• 4- Water draining outlet

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• Before installing the unit, we recommend that you check the electrical system very carefully to ensure that it complies with the relevant regulations. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage caused by the lack of a grounding to earth or a problem related to the power supply.
• Ensure that the voltage used is 230 V / 50 Hz.
• Check that the main power supply is rated for the heater’s maximum power consumption (Refer to the technical characteristics plate) and that the electrical cables and wiring are suitably rated and regulated.
• Ensure that the electrical installation is fitted with the mandatory differential switch in compliance with regulations.

SETUP

• Fill the water heater, opening the cold-water cut-off valve and the hot water taps. When water comes out of the taps, turn them off, starting with the lowest one (bidet) and ending with the top one (shower). In this way any air in the heater and pipes can be bled off.
• The heater must be filled with water before its first use (or after any maintenance or cleaning) and after it has been connected to the power supply. DO NOT SWITCH ON THE POWER unless it is full, as this could damage the resistance.

CONTROL OPERATION

It consists of two parts

• Manual control button
• Temperature displaying screen
• On/Off (the starting and closing of water heater).
• Temperature regulation button

From the displaying screen, you can see the temperature selected.
Then it will show the water temperature in water heater after several seconds.

Smart function

• The product has the “smart” function deactivated by default.
• Activate this function by pressing and holding both the “ “and “ “keys into the “smart” function. Once activation is confirmed, Indicator light was lighted and then keep until the function lo cancel.
• Deactivate the function by repeating the above steps. Once the deactivation is confirmed, Indicator light will go out.

Anti-legionella function

• The anti-Legion ell a function is turned off by default.
• To turn on the anti-Legionella function, press the ” and” ” buttons for 3 seconds. Once the activation is confirmed, the middle decimal point light will be flashes.
• The middle decimal point flashes 3 times – always on for 3s – flashes for 3 times – always on for 3s, such a continuous cycle means entering the Smart mode and turning on the sterilization function at the same time. After anti-Legionella function is turned on, press the “ ” and” ” buttons again for 3 seconds to turn off the sterilization function. The button can only be operated wherithe machine is turned on.
• When the anti-bacteria cycle is operating, the set temperature is 75°C.
• The first time this function is activated (or if the water heater has been switched off), wait 3 days for it to start to work; once the cycle has been completed, it will repeat itself every 30 days, provided it is not set to operate at 75°C, in which case the 30-day cycle will re-set.
• This function can work in conjunction in normal or in Smart operation mode.

Smart Function Description

• The smart function is a software application that learns about the user’s consumption, which enables it to minimize heat loss and maximize energy savings.
• The smart software undergoes a learning period of one week from the time that the electric heater commences operation at the temperature set and it records the user’s demand for energy.
• From the second week on, the learning process continues to learn about the user’s needs in more detail and changes the temperature every hour to adapt it to the actual demand in order to improve the energy saving. The “smart” software “Smart” “activates water heating for the time determined automatically by the heater depending on the user’s consumption. During the day, when there is no demand for water, the heater still ensures that there is a reserve supply of hot water available at 45 °C.
• To ensure that the smart function operates appropriately, do not disconnect the heater from the mains power supply.

Code of failure

• The display of the control panel indicates with an alarm signal, the presence of a failure.
• It also reports a failure code following the following identification.

MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP RULES

Magnesium anode

• It is essential that the unit be inspected annually by the Technical Support Service (TSS) to eliminate lime scale deposited on the heating element and check the condition of the magnesium anode (See point 6). If the water in your area is very hard or corrosive you must ask for more frequent inspections.
• If the magnesium anode is degraded, it must be replaced by the Technical Support Service.

Draining the unit

If installed in a location where freezing occurs, the unit must be drained if it is not going to used. When this is necessary, drain the heater as follows:

• Unplug the heater from the mains electricity supply;
• Turn off the valve from the water mains;
• Open the hot water tap (basin, sink or bath);
• Open the drainage valve.

Periodic maintenance

• After routine or special maintenance, we recommend you fill the tank with water and drain it off completely to eliminate any residual impurities.

Safety valve

• The pressure safety device must be activated on a regular basis (once a month) to eliminate lime scale and ensure that it is not obstructed. This can be done with lever No. 1, the safety device for draining off water from the heater.
• To clean the outside of the heater, use a damp cloth with soapy water. Never use abrasive products or those that contain solvents (for example, alcohol)
• For safety reasons, Contra accepts no responsibility of any other items are used that are not original parts or replacements installed by our Technical Support Service.
