pipes are enamel plated following the welding operation and is fully protected
against corrosion. The heater resistance is protected against corrosion with a
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 the temperature-setting thermostat.
V Automated Switch
You can switch ON and OFF the thermostat using the V-Automated switch. V –
Automated Switch acts as a safety device. It will disconnect the product from
the mains in case of an electrical short circuit or the product is switched
OFF. The provided V-Automated Switch should be installed by an authorized
service technician only.
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 from the drain
tip in case of overpressure in the boiler.
Economy Mode
The water hotter than 50°C during usage can cause scalding or even death due
to serious scalding. The temperature which is most favorable for human health
and the energy economy is about 55°C. This temperature is indicated on the
front panel of the product with icon. You can operate the product in an
economical way by setting the temperature setting knob to an eco icon.
Thermometer
After starting the appliance, the thermometer indicator on the appliance will
start moving clockwise. Low water temperature is indicated with a single line
while the maximum water temperature is indicated with 3 lines. Upon decrease
in water temperature, the indicator will move counter-clockwise.
Operating
Your water heater is controlled with the button at the button. During
installation and before first use, if you take the time to take a look at the
position and use of the button that turns the product on/off and adjusts the
temperature, it will be easier for you in the next uses.
After your water heater is installed and made ready for use by the authorized
service agent, you can turn the on/off button on the control panel at the
bottom of the appliance as shown below to turn it on.
