A new safety device which conforms to current standards (in Europe EN 1487), pressure 0,7 and 0,9 MPa (7 and 9 bar) and size 3/4’’ in diameter must be fitted. The safety valve must be protected from frost.
Hydraulic accessories should not be located between the safety valve and the cold water inlet. A pressure reducer (not supplied) is required when the water supply pressure exceeds 0,5 MPa (5 bar) and will be fitted on the main supply.
Connect the safety device to an unpressurised outlet pipe in a frost free environment, with a continuous slope for the evacuation of the water during heating up or draining the water heater. The pipes used must support 1 MPa (10 bar) and 100°C.
If using PER pipes, we strongly recommend that a thermostatic regulator be fitted to the water heater outlet. It will be set according to the performances of the equipment used.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (Figure 6/7 D and E)
The water heater can be connected and powered only by a single-phase 220-240 V AC or a three-phase 380-400 V mains supply according to model. Connect the water heater via a fixed duct with a cross section of 2.5 mm². Use a standard duct (fixed or ring reinforced sheath) to the calibrated receptacle in the caver. In the case of appliances fitted with a cable or a plug (not allowed in France), connect up directly.
Always connect the earth conductor of the cable to the earth ground wire or connect the earth conductor to the appropriate terminal identified by the symbol ..

This connection is a vital safety feature. The green-yellow earth wire must be longer than the phase wires. The installation must be equipped, upstream of the appliance, with a bipolar cut-out device (contact opening at least 3 mm ; fuse, breaker switch.) If the ducts are made of insulating material, the electrical contacts must be protected by a 30 mA earth-leakage breaker conforming to the applicable standards. Adapt the connection to the power supply (see diagrams and table).
Before removing the cover, switch off the power.

Thermal circuit breaker:
All our products are equipped with a thermal circuit breaker with manual resetting which shuts off the power to the water heater if it becomes overheated. If the safety device is tripped, cut the power before any operation and have the circuit breaker reset by a professional.
If the circuit breaker continues to trip, replace the thermostat. Never by- pass the safety device or the thermostat. Connect the power supply only via the terminal.
For electronic products with a power output greater than or equal to 1800 W, it is possible to switch to three-phase 400V using the Facilitri 400V kit. The modification must be made by a professional.
For products which are equipped with a mechanical thermostat and compatible with single-phase and three-phase connections, the wiring must be modified by a professional and only using the equipment supplied by the manufacturer.

COMMISSIONING / USE

Never switch the water heater on without it being filled with water.
Before switching on, open the hot water taps, bleed the pipes until no air is present and fill the appliance.
Check that the pipes and the door seal under the caver are not leaking. If there are any leaks tighten gently. Check that the water safety devices are working and fill the appliance. Switch on the appliance. After 5 to 20 minutes according to the capacity of the appliance, water should start dripping from the drain outlet. This is normal and results from the expansion of the water. Check that joints and seals are watertight. In the course of heating up, shielded water heaters may make a boiling noise ; this is normal and does not indicate any fault with the appliance.

To avoid the development of bacteria (legionella…) ensure that a temperature of 60°C is reached every day. The thermostat is set at the factory at (65°C+- 5°C. or 78+-3°C according to model).

If steam or boiling water emerges continuously from the drain plug or drain tap, switch off the electricity and call a professional.
When first powered, a smoke and an odor may be released from the heating element. This is normal and it disappears after a few minutes.

MAINTENANCE

User maintenance:
Operates once a month the discharge of water security to prevent scaling and verify that it is not blocked. If this is not done, damage may be caused and the guarantee invalidated.

Maintenance by a qualified person:

  • Remove the scale sludge. Do not scrape or chip at lime scale deposited on the casing because this may damage the lining
  • Change the magnesium anode every 2 years or when its diameter is less than 10 mm. Changing the shielded heating element or the anode requires the water heater to be drained and the seal changed.

Drain:
Turn off the power and the supply of cold water, open the hot water faucets and manipulate the safety valve before performing these operations. Refit the heating element and tighten the screws gently (opposite screws in sequence), check for leaks the next day and tighten if required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

Replaceable parts:
The thermostat, seals, heating element, boiler shell, the indicator light, the magnesium anode, the connection cable. The guarantee requires genuine manufacturer’s parts to be used.
Do not dispose your water heater in the garbage, but hand it to a place assigned for this purpose (collection point) where it can be recycled.
