Installation and Connection

Choose where to install

• The water heater must be installed indoor.

• The wall must be strong enough to support heater.

• The heater is to be installed near to points of use.

• Ensure that sufficient space is available for servicing.
  The distance between the right end of the heater and the adjacent wall must not be less than 500mm.

• There must be a floor trap near installation point for the heater drain pipe.

• Water heater/power switch/electric leakage protector should be protected against water.

Installation

• Mark the drilling position for locating expansion bolts on the wall or ceiling as shown in diagram 3. The two upper holes must be in the same horizontal line.
  Type| Hole Space, A
  ---|---
  25L| 220 mm
  30L| 165 mm
  40L| 280 mm
  50L| 400 mm
  55L| 500 mm
  60L| 500 mm
  80L| 500 mm
  90L| 500 mm
  100L| 500 mm
• Drill holes on the wall using a 12mm drill bit (do not damage the electric cable and pipe work inside the wall), then screw in expansion bolts and fasten the hooks on the wall.
• Hang up the heater as shown in Diagram 4. The mounted heater must be horizontal.
• Use ST4.2 self-tap screw to secure the water heater to the universal brackets.

Optional:

Connection—Plumbing

• Pipe Material
  The pipes connecting to the inlet and outlet of the water heater must be strong enough to withstand water pressure up to 1.40 MPa.

• Connection
  Both the inlet and outlet are located at the end of the water heater, with the upper connection being outlet and lower connection being inlet. The cold water tap is fitted to the inlet as shown in diagram 5. As the temperature is high at the outlet, a mixing valve which mixes hot water with cold water is suggested to be fitted. If the outlet tap is not close to the water heater, thermal insulation material is recommended to insulate the hot water pipe so as to reduce heat loss.

If the mains pressure is too low, the amount of hot water delivered to multiple points will be unsatisfactory. Thus a booster pump is suggested to be increase the pressure. A pressure-limiting valve is suggested to be fitted if the main pressure exceeds the rated maximum pressure.

WARNING: IMPROPER INSTALLATION WILL VOID ALL APPLICABLE WARRANTIES.
Fully tighten the terminal block screws.
Ensure no cable insulation is trapped under screws.
Loose connections may result in cable overheating causing damage to terminal block and heater.

Operation

Filling the Water Heater

• Open one of the hot water mixer taps.
• Open the cold water tap to the water heater.
• When water flows out of the hot water mixer, it means that water heater is completely filled.

Warnings: Power must not be switched on until the water heater is filled with water. There will be NO WARRANTY for dry firing.
Using Hot Water

• The water heater operates on/off automatically.
• In normal condition, the cold water tap should remain open.
• It is normal for the pressure relief valve to release a small amount of hot water during the heating cycle due to expansion.
• Always open mixer to cold water first and slowly adjust to warm to avoid scalding.
• When water supply is interrupted, the main power supply to the heater should be switched off to avoid dry firing.

Shut off the Water Heater
The water heater should be shut off if it is serviced or it is not used for a long period of time. Shut off the water heater according to following steps:

• Plug off the electric cable
• Shut off the stop tap of cold water inlet

Maintenance

Pressure Relief Valve

• Operate the Pressure Relief Valve at least once every six months to remove lime deposits and verify that it is not blocked. This is done by lifting the lever at the pressure relief valve for a few second. If there is no water flowing out, please call for a serviceman.
• Damage to the heaters due to blockage in the overflow pipe will void the warranty.
