Power Cord Installation

NOTE
The installation position of neutral line (blue), live line (brown/red) and earth line (green/yellow) should be corresponding to the other end on wiring terminals.

Water Heater Installation

1. Determine installation position of the unit according to length of power cord / position of air switch (Distance between bottom and floor should be ≥1.6m).
2. Make sure the distance between the unit and surrounding wall is not less than 300mm, so that to have enough space for maintenance purpose.
3. Determine the position of four fixing screws (attached with the unit), make four holes with corresponding depth in the wall by means of a drill and drive a wall plug into the hole.
4. Drive in the screws on the top and ensure certain distance between screw head and wall (See Fig.1)
5. Mount the unit on the wall and tighten with two screws at bottom, connect the wires and install top cover with the screws.

Plumbing Connection

1. Water valve with filter should be installed at water inlet of the unit, sealing ring with filter should be used at end face. (See Fig.2).
2. Shower flexible tube should be connected with water outlets and shower head separately,attached sealing ring should be used at end face.

WARNING

Metallic / chromed hose and conductive control valve shall not be used.

NOTE

Water flow adjusting valve with filter must be used when install the unit. Blue marker stands for water inlet, red marker stands for water outlet. Do not overexert to avoid damaging the water heater.

Power Supply Connection

1. Adjust power selection knob to “OFF”;
2. Choose air switch with leakage protection according to power of water heater;
3. When connecting the water heater to electric network, please pay attention to connect live line (red/brown), neutral line (blue) and earth line (yellow/green) with corresponding line in electric network.

NOTE

A private power cord should be used for this unit. After connecting to electric network, please check the earth condition and make sure the earth resistance is <4Ω.

Water Supply
After all the plumbing is finished connecting, open water inlet valve of the product and supply water to the unit to drain away air inside until there is stable water flow comes out from shower head. Check whether there is leakage at joints or not. If there is, check whether the connecting parts are fastened or not, then re-supply water.

METHODS OF USING

Operating Of The Unit
Switch on the power supply, the unit will take self-inspection for 2s, “ELCB”; “EARTH” blue indicator light will be on (well connected to the Ground). Green indicator light will be on (under the condition of no electricity leakage). When the water flow exceeds 1.5L/min, rotate the knob clockwise to switch on heating power rotate switch, heating indicator light will be on, the unit start to work. Leakage Testing
When the water heater is working normally (including working state of PUMP), press “TEST” button, if the leakage test circuit is no problem, “ELCB” green indicator light will be blinking, and the unit will not heat. Press “RESET”, testing will be canceled, and “ELCB” green indicator light will be on, the unit will be back to working state set before. If the circuit leaks, press “RESET” button can’t cancel leakage testing, “ELCB” indicator light is twinkling flicker, it means the water heater has problems and can’t be used; all the buttons are invalid, heating stopped, and pump will be closed. If “EARTH” blue indicator light is off, is it means the heater cannot be connected to the Ground firmly. Please check the Grounding before usage.
To Adjust Water Flow
Rotate the handle of water flow adjusting valve to adjust the water flow.
Electricity Leakage Protection
When the electricity leakage testing circuit is working normally, if the leakage current is bigger than certain value between 7.5mA and 15mA, “EARTH”、“ELCB” and “POWER” indicator light will be twinkling flicker, no heating; it can only be used after the failure is excluded. (When electricity leakage is tested, red and green indicator lights are all off, stop heating and close the pump system.)
To Adjust Water Temperature
Rotate the handle of water flow adjusting valve to adjust to proper water flow. Adjust power by rotating knob, clockwise rotate, power will be increased and water temperature increase accordingly or vice versa.
Use After Overheating Protection
If the water flow is small and power is high while using the unit, outlet water temperature is rather high; the unit will stop heating automatically. At this time, please lower the power and adjust the water flow faster in order to avoid inconsistency of water temperature.

NOTE

For first time using, ensure electrify after the unit is filled fully with water and there is stable water flow comes out from shower head.
The electric water heater may be damaged if the water hardness is too high. To guarantee the normal service life, please install and put it into use on condition that the local water hardness is less than 450mg/L (CaCO3).
