Installation Instructions

Pre-Installation Notice
Installation should be done by a licensed technician using the supplied parts. German Pool is not responsible for any defect or damage caused by incorrect or unauthorised installation.

Positioning
Position water heater near water tap / point of use in order to minimise heat loss. For wall-mount style, appropriate anchor screws must be used and wall should be strong enough to withstand the weight of water heater. Keep a minimal distance between wall and water heater. you can also use the mounting bracket for positioning.

Connecting PTV and Inlet/Outlet Pipes
A Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve (PTV) is supplied with each GPU water heater. Water will be released through the PTV when water temperature reaches 90˚C or when water pressure reaches 1000 kPa in the inner tank. (It is normal that small amount of water may drip out.)

PTV and water inlet & outlet must be installed according to the following instructions:

1. Fit PTV to the marked position (normally it is located on the upper side of the water heater and is labelled “PTV”).

2. When connecting the pipe,the PTV must point downward.The outlet of the discharge pipe connecting the PTV must be positioned  approximately 25-50mm away from the ground,so that it is easily observable when hot water is being drained to ensure safety.

3. Connect the inlet pipe (blue) with water supply.
   Then connect the outlet pipes (red) with supply pipe leading to points of use. The diameter of piping should be 1/2” BSP.

4. Turn on the hot water tap. Turn on water supply switch until the inner tank has been filled up with water. The inner tank has been filled up when water flows from the water tap.

Electric Wiring
Use an independent wire (refer to table below) leading from the meter box and connect it to an independent on/off switch outside bathroom. Extend the wire through the grey wire grip on the water heater. Dismount the bottom plate and wire up Neutral (N), Life (L) and Earth ( ) terminals.

This water heater must be earthed at all time.

Power Switch
The external switch is used to completely disconnect water heater from power supply. It should disconnect all poles, and a contract separation of at least 3mm must be present.

Testing
When the piping and wiring are connected and inner tank has been filled with water, switch on the power. The indicator on the water heater will be lit. Turn control knob to the desired temperature (Max. temperature is 75°C). Do not use the control knob as an on/off switch.

Pre-Installation Notice
Installation should be done by a licensed technician using the supplied parts. German Pool is not responsible for any defect or damage caused by incorrect or unauthorised installation.

Positioning
Position water heater near water tap / point of use in order to minimise heat loss. For wall-mount style, appropriate anchor screws must be used and wall should be strong enough to withstand the weight of water heater. Keep a minimal distance between wall and water heater.

Connecting Inlet and Outlet Pipes
The diameter of piping is ½″ BSP. Make sure there is no leaking at the joints. Turn on hot water tap to fill up the inner tank until water flows from the shower head. Turn off hot water.

Electric Wiring
Use an independent wire (refer to table below) leading from the meter box and connect it to an independent on/off switch outside bathroom.
Extend the wire through the grey wire grip on the water heater. Dismount the bottom plate and wire up Neutral (N), Life (L) and Earth ( ) terminals

This water heater must be earthed at all time.

Power Switch
The external switch is used to completely disconnect water heater from power supply. It should disconnect all poles, and a contact separation of at least 3 mm must be present.

SEE wiring regulations should be observed when the water heater is installed in the bathroom.

Testing
Once the piping and wiring are connected and inner tank has been filled up with water, switch on the power. The indicator light will be lit. Turn control knob to the desired temperature (Max. temperature is 75°C). Do not use the control knob as an on/off switch.

Operating Instructions

Warning

1. Do not allow children to touch or play with the water heater. Supervision is required during use, in order to prevent the danger of a scald, electrical shock or any other injuries.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
3. If the temperature is set above 50˚C, cold water must be mixed in to prevent the danger of a scald.
4. An electric-leakage protection device must be installed to the power inlet. The electric current of this protection device should be below 30mA.

Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve (PTV)

• The discharge pipe connecting to the PTV must be pointing downward and be left open to the atmosphere in a frost-free environment.
• Turn the lift handle or rotational cup of the PTV regularly in order to prevent deposits in water causing blockage to the easing gear.
• When water is discharged through PTV pipe, shut off power and water supply immediately.
  Then contact our Customer Service Centre for repair. (It is normal that small amount of water may drip out.)

Under normal working conditions, incoming pressure should not exceed 0.6 MPa. Otherwise, a separate pressure control device is necessary. (It is normal that small amount of water may drip from PTV after installation of pressure limiting valve.)

Note
When incoming water pressure exceeds 0.6 MPa, German Pool will not provide any repair service until a pressure control device is installed.

Draining
To drain out water from the inner tank, first switch off both power and water supply. Let hot water inside the inner tank cool down. Then unscrew the drain pipe nut to release water.

Source of Water Supply
If the water source is a river, a well, underground water or has relatively high mineral content, user must clean the heating element regularly to ensure it will operate at optimum thermal efficiency

Water Shortage
During water shortage, do not drain water from inner tank. The heating element would be damaged if it is not submerged under water. When water supply resumes, turn on hot water tap and let water flows through the shower head before switching on the power.

Source of Water Supply
If the water source is a river, a well, underground water or has relatively high mineral content, user must clean the heating element regularly to ensure it will operate at optimum thermal efficiency.

Dripping
Due to thermal expansion, small amount of water may drip off from the shower head when the inner tank temperature is very high.

Outlet
The outlet of the water heater is supposed to act as a vent and should not be connected to any unauthorised piping attachment or device.
