QUICK START GUIDE

1. Securely mount your water heater in an appropriate location using the hanging bracket and wall anchors supplied with the unit.

2. Secure the bracket to the walI with the screws supplied.
   WARNING: Working with electricity can be dangerous. If you are not knowledgeable about basic electrical practices and local building codes please DO NOT attempt to install this unit without the assistance of a licensed electrician!

3. The units have to be installed in copper pipe and for the connection between the pipe and the heater use flexible hoses.

4. 4. Make the electrical connections to the breaker. Breaker size can be 10, 20, 30, or 40 AMPS, depending on the amount of heating needed (Power setting cannot exceed breaker size). Wire gauge will vary depending on amper-age and distance. Contact an electrician if you’re not sure.

   • 110V (PP110): Connect (1) white wire to the single pole (110V) breaker. Connect (1) white wire to the neutral bar on your breaker box. It does not matter which white wire is connected to power and which is connected to neutral. Connect the green ground wire to the ground bar on your breaker box.
   • 220V (PPXE5): Connect (2) white wires to the double pole (220V) breaker. Connect the green ground wire to the ground bar on your breaker box.
   • Caution: these are TWO separate units. Not one unit that can be wired as 11OV OR 220V. Please check the model number on the right side of your unit.

5. DO NOT TURN ON THE BREAKER YET!
   Turn on the hot water faucet and allow it to flow for at least 30 seconds. Turn the faucet back off. Turn on the breaker.

6. Turn on the hot water faucet and adjust the heater to the appropriate flow and temperature setting for your situa-tion. Use caution not to get scalded until the appropriate temperature settings are in place. Higher flow rates will result in cooler water and vice versa. Higher amperage will result in warmer water and vice versa.

   • When you turn on the tap, the water heater will automatically engage. When you turn off the tap, the water heater will turn off automatically.
   • Enjoy endless, energy efficient hot water for years to come!
   • Disclaimer: This document is intended as a quick reference only and does not contain all of the important safety warnings and other information necessary to safely operate your heater. For a complete list of safety warnings and instructions please reference the instruction manual before operating your water heater.

WARNING

• If your water heater requires a reset, be sure to TURN OFF THE BREAKERS prior to resetting the unit.
• Resetting your unit without turning off the breakers can result in personal injury and damage to your water heater.
• WARNING! There is water contained in the coils of your water heater at all times. If your water heater is exposed to freezing temperatures, the water in the coils could freeze, causing a break in the heat exchanger of the unit, or the supply and return lines. This kind of damage will result in water running freely into the space where the water heater is located, which can cause flooding. DO NOT install this water heater where it may be subjected to a freeze. If your water heater is in an area where freezing is a possibility, you must turn off the water to the heater and drain it of any water by disconnecting the water lines. Leave the water lines disconnected until you intend to use the water heater.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

• The heater must be connected to its own independent electrical circuit. InstalI a fuse box or switch (“breaker”) for exclusive use of the heater.

• The wire gauge necessary will vary based on amperage and distance to the breaker, but 8 gauge wire is generally sufficient for most installations. If the distance is very short, sometimes smaller gauge wire may be used. If you aren’t sure which gauge of wire should be used, contact an electrician. The supply wire, main switch and circuit protection (Leakage Circuit Breaker) must be sufficient for the amperage required. Please check the table above and the flow rate/temperature rise chart for the appro-priate amperage for your situation. Note that the lower the amperage, the lower the water temperature rise will be.

• DO NOT TURN ON THE BREAKER SWITCH UNTIL ALL ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING CONNECTIONS ARE MADE AND WATER IS FLOWINGTHROUGH THE UNIT.

• FOR PP110:
  Connect (1) white wire to the single pole 10, 20, 30 or 40 Amp circuit breaker.
  Connect (1) white wire to the neutral bar on your breaker box. It does not matter which white wire connects to neutral and which connects to the breaker. Connect the green ground wire to the ground bar on your breaker box.

• FOR PP220 (PPXE5):

  • Connect the (2) white wires to the double pole 10, 20, 30 or 40 Amp circuit breaker.

  • Connect the green ground wire to the ground bar on your breaker box.

  • This appliance MUST be grounded. Connect the ground wire, as indicated in the Electrical Code.

  • When all connections are satisfactorily prepared, install the heater cover. With the insulated container off and water flow modifier (optional) fully open, the faucet must be opened fully to get maximum water flow. It is necessary to ensure that the water tank is full before turning the power on. This is an essential step to protect the heating element.
    Note that the above instructions are simply guidelines that apply to most installations.

  • The size of the switch and wire gauge must meet all local, state, provincial and nation-al electrical codes in your area. Contact an electrician if you’re not sure.

  • To determine the minimum electrical circuit please see the next table:
    POWER SELECTOR| MINIMUM BREAKER
    ---|---
    Position 1 and 2| 20 Amperes
    Position 1, 2 and 3| 30 Amperes
    Position 1, 2, 3 and 4| 40 Amperes

  • Remember that the above instructions are just guidelines that apply at most installa-tions.

SITE REQUIREMENTS

WATER AND PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

• DO NOT USE PVC, CPVC or plastic supply lines directly to the unit. A 16″ copper or stainless steel pipe must be con nected to the heater.
• Be sure to clean the pipes before connecting the heater to the main line. Clean all the impurities of the pipe, allowing water to flow for a few minutes, check for leaks. Any residue or dirt in the pipes may cause internal damage to the unit.
• A safety release valve must be fitted in the supply pipe.
• We recommend installing a sediment filter before the entry of water to the heater. Hard water or water with high levels of minerals and alkali can cause damage to this unit. When this is the case, we recommend the use of a (non-salt) water softening system.
• The provision of a service stop valve in the cold supply pipe will assist in the event of any subsequent servicing or maintenance.
• These heaters are of the closed type (closed system with no ventilation pressure) suitable for fitting to the normal input of cold water with a maximum of 94 PSI (6.5bar). They must be fitted with a pressure valve adjacent to the entrance.

CONNECTING TO SERVICES

PREPARATION

1. Isolate electrical and water supplies BEFORE proceeding with the installation.

2. The unit must be mounted on a flat surface in a vertical position with the incoming and outgoing water pipes facing down. It is not possible to install the unit horizontal-ly. Please use the installation sticker guide and screws supplied in the product’s original package. Drill the wall for the indicated holes. Check that there are no hidden wires or pipes, before drilling holes for wall mounting.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The water temperature is altered by increasing or decreasing the flow rate of the water through the water heater, via the temperature control knob. Increased amperage settings will result in increased water temperature.

NOTE: If water pressure is low, the inlet pipe of the water should be ¾” with outputs of 5/8″.

ENERGY SAVlNG TlPS

• The heater should be installed as close as possible to the point of use to avoid heat loss. If longer distances are required, hot water pipes should be insulated.
• Adjust heater temperature settings (located on the front panel of the heater) to the desired output temperature. Lowering the power setting will save energy, but hot water temperature will decrease.
• We recommend that you install the unit under the sink in the main bathrooms or utility areas. This will allow for lower amperage usage and a reduced heat loss from long pipe runs.
• For additional savings, reduce the water flow valve at the inlet of the heater so the temperature increases.
