WATER HEATER INSTALLATION ON THE FLOOR OF THE PREMISE

The water heater can be installed only in normal fire safeguarded premises and where temperature cannot fall under 0 °C. The availability of a siphon of the installation for waste waters is necessary on the floor of the premse because during normal usage of the water heater, water may leak from the combined valve. At the same time the siphon will facilitate the water tank maintenance, prevention and servicing operations when water needs to be drained out of the water tank.
The installation location of the water heater must comply with the outline dimensions, the location of its pipes, and the degree of protection against water penetration. The latter is marked on the appliance production plate with its serial number. The appliance must be protected from water dripping or spraying. The location of the water heater instalment must be levelled. A distance between the unit and surrounding walls and ceiling must be allowed in order to complete the necessary electric and water connections, but not less than 100 mm.
Before the installation of the appliance if it has been supplied with transport pallet, start with removing the pallet. Water heaters by ranges up to 500 are equipped with 3 pcs. feets (supports). If the supports are not in place they have to be screwed in the apertures which the device was attached to the transport pallet. The screwed part allows additional appliance levelling. Larger water heaters must be attached to the room floor through the same openings that serve for its attachment to the transport pallet.
WARNING! Non observance of the requirements for fixing the water heater may cause damages to the appliance, to other appliances and the premises, where the device is located, as well as corrosion of the casing or even more serious failures and damages. In such cases eventual failures and damages are not a subject to manufacturer and seller warranty liabilities and will be at the expense of the party which has not observed the present instructions manual.
The removal from the transport pallet and the installation of the water heater on the room floor must be carried out by qualified persons who are due to take all necessary precautions to prevent accidents.

WATER HEATER CONNECTION TO THE WATER SUPPLY NETWORK
The water heater connection to the water supply network must be performed only by a qualified service company.
The plumbing (water supply network) to which the water heater will be connected, as well as any other of its elements shall have to withstand sustained water temperatures above 80 °C and for short periods – above 100 °C, as well as to pressure at least twice higher then the appliance work pressure.
The pipes for cold (inlet) and warm (outlet) water of the water heater are identified by labels with the appropriate inscriptions.
Where the plumbing pipes are copper or of another metal, other than that of the water tank, or where brass fasteners are used, it is obligatory to install on the water heater inlet and outlet non-metallic couplings (dielectric fittings).
Water heaters by ranges up to 500 are equipped with a combined valve – safety valve and non-return valve located in a common body. The combined valve must be fitted onto the inlet pipe of the tank, in keeping with the arrow on the body showing direction of the water passing through it.
The water heaters by ranges 750 and more are equipped with separate safety and non-return valves.
Water heater connection to the water supply network is shown on Fig 3.
There water heater works at the water supply network pressure and that of the safety valve. If the water mains pressure is greater than 0,5 MPa a reduce valve (pressure-reducing valve) have to be installed.
When the water heater is part of a system providing hot water it usually works at a lower pressure that the pressure in the water supply network, and for its connection additional fittings are installed. We recommend these connections to be completed in  accordance with Fig. 4. The competent installation company shall identify and provide the necessary additional fittings. This is not a manufacturer and/or seller liability, and is not subject to warranty service.
WARNING! It is FORBIDDEN to install any kind of shut-off fittings between the combined valve and the water heater! It is absolutely forbidden to obstruct the side opening of the combined valve and/or to block its lever!
It is recommended to set up a draining system for any dripping water from the combined valve side opening. The draining pipe must have a constant downward slope and located in frost secure environment and its ends to be constantly kept open to the atmosphere.
ATTENTION! For appliances with heat exchangers. It is compulsory that all additional tube outlets (except the outlets of the heat exchangers), which will not be connected to the plumbing, as well as the outlets for additional thermostats and/or thermomanometer must be closed with the equipment from the package, or other suitable equipment for this purpose. The compounds (closed outlets) should be sealed for water pressure at least 1,6 MPa and temperatures above 100 °C.
In order to maintain the appliance efficiency, we recommend that to coat / cover additionally with suitable heat-insulating material that meets the applicable requirements all its pipe fittings and associated elements.
The water tank shall be filled with water as follows:

  • Open completely the turn-cock for hot water of the most distant mixing tap;
  • Open the cold water stop cock located before the water heater.
  • Wait for the in air the system to come out and then for over a half to one minute from the mixing tap should run full and powerful water jet.
  • Close the turn-cock of the mixing tap
  • Turn (lift) the combined valve lever or the safety valve cap and wait for about 30 to 60 seconds to run a strong jet of water from the side opening.

WARNING! If no water is coming out of the opening of the combined valve or the flow is weak (during normal water pressure), this should be considered as a malfunction indicating that impurities from the plumbing or caused by sewage connections have blocked the safety valve of the combined valve. IT IS FORBIDDEN to proceed with appliance electric connection before eliminating the reason for malfunction.
WARNING! Failure to comply with the requirements for connection to the water supply system may cause partial filling up of the water tank and malfunction of the heating element, or when the combined/safety valve is not installed at all or has been improperly installed this may even cause destruction of the water tank, the room and/or other damages to tangible and intangible property. Such consequences are not within the scope of manufacturer or seller warranty liabilities and shall be at the expense of the party, which has not observed the present manual instructions.
WARNING! The combined/safety valve is one of the unit safety components ensuring security for water heater users. It is specifically FORB I DDEN to use the water heater with adefectiveor removed/unmounted combined safety valve!
When necessary to drain the water from the water tank proceed as follow:

  • Disconnect the heater from the power supply network with the external disconnecting device and for greater security disconnect the fuse(s) in the heater phase circuit.
  • Cut the cold water access to the appliance – close the stop cock
  • Open the hot water cock on the tap or disconnect the tank hot water pipe (outlet pipe) connection.
  • Open the drain cock or lift the combined valve lever and wait until water stops flowing out of it.

These steps do not still secure the complete draining of the water out of the tank. It is completed only by a qualified person because it requires complete disconnection of the appliance electric circuit and dismantling the water tank flange.
WARNING! When draining the water out of the water tank all necessary precautions must be taken to prevent damages from flowing out water.
WARNING! IT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED to turn on the heater power while the water tank is partially or completely emptied of water! Do not forget to fill the tank with water before putting the appliance back into operation.
WARNING! Heat transfer fluid circulation through the heat exchanger(s) of a water heater equipped with such device(s) is PROHIBITED when the water tank is partially or completely emptied of water.
CONNECTING THE HEAT EXCHANGER OF WATER HEATER TO THE ALTERNATIVE HEAT SOURCE CIRCUIT
The heat exchanger terminals are identified by labels with the appropriate inscriptions. Only technicians who have designed and implemented the project for tank water warming from alternative heat source shall connect the appliance to the alternative heat source installation. The heat transfer fluid must be driven by circulating pump. As a heat transfer fluid can be used water with composition and index values within the levels laid down in the regulations related to water or a dedicated aqueous solution which is not aggressive to heat exchanger material. The heat transfer fluid must be with temperature not higher than 85 °С and in its circuit must be installed a control device set at a temperature not to allow switch on (activation) of the thermal cut-out of the electrical heating elements during normal operation.
The heat transfer fluid pressure in the heat exchangers should not exceed the rated pressure of the water heater.
WARNING! It is PROHIBITED to install stop valves on heat exchanger both ends (inlet and outlet) simultaneously, unless a safety valve is fitted – Fig. 7. In cases where the water heater heat exchanger shall not be used and is not connected to the heat source circuit, it must be filled with propylene glycol solution suitable for heating systems. IT IS FORBIDDEN to allow heat transfer fluid circulation through the heat exchanger when the appliance water tank is empty.
Connecting the heat exchanger of the water heater to an alternative heat source circuit must be completed only by qualified technicians, from a company specializing in such services and in accordance with the requirements in the design.

WATER HEATER CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY NETWORK

WARNING! Do not proceed to connect the water heater to the power supply network unless you have made sure that its water tank is full with water! Check!
The water heater is completed with degree of protection against electric shock – Class I.
The single-phase water heaters are connected to 230 V~, three-wires electric installation in according the electric schema on Fig. 5.
The three-phase water heaters are connected to 400V 3N~, five-wires electric installation in according the electric schema on Fig. 6.
All ends of wires for the appliance electrical circuit must be properly connected in the main power switchboard and in the water heater connection point to the power supply grid. The installation protective conductor must not be interrupted at no place on its route from the appliance to the main power switchboard. The cross section of each power cable conductor (3 phase, neutral and protected) must be not less than 2.5 mm at electric power up to 3 kW/phase and from 4 to 6 mm 2 at power of 4 kW/phase. The protective conductor MUST be connected to the terminal or to the stud marked with the sign of protective grounding. In each circuit, each phase must be installed with 16 A fuse for power of 9 kW, and 25 A for power of 12 kW. The electric installation to which the heater will be connected must be built in accordance with the requirements of the applicable statutes and local regulations in force.
Protective grounding is mandatory for water heaters without electric parts because these are fitted with electric devices controlling the heat transfer fluid flow through the coils.
In order to install the power cord to the electric heater input terminals the plastic cover must be taken off. Once connection is completed it must be returned on place. During electric connection particular attention must be paid so that the internal electric wires connectors and the water heater secure connections be kept together, as well as thermostats and thermal cut- outs capillary tubes not to be bended or broken.
WARNING! IT IS COMPULSORY that in the electric circuit feeding the heater is installed such a device which in the conditions of over voltage category III provides full disconnection of all poles. The conductors between the circuit and the device incoming electrical terminals must not be interrupted by any circuit breaker or fuse.
WARNING! Failure to comply with the requirements concerning connection to the power supply network shall impede the appliance safety, in which it is prohibited to use. Such consequences are not within the scope of manufacturer or seller warranty  liabilities and shall be at the expense of the party, which has not observed the present manual instructions.
Only qualified persons are entitled to connect the water heater to the power supply network and to check its functionality.

HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE

Once the water heater is installed and connected properly with water and electric supply networks it should be put into operation and tested for functionality. The water heater connection and functionality check are not manufacturer or dealer warranty obligations and are not covered by warranty service.
Before switching the water heater into operation you must be sure that the water tank is filled with water. CHECK!
WARNING! Do never switch the appliance if there is a chance that the water in the water tank is frozen! This shall damage the appliance.
The single-phase water heaters are switched on by pressing the LED key button end marked ‘I’. With the knob you may adjust to desired water temperature. Lighting of the key when in switched on position indicates that the water heater is operating and water is heating, while when the light is off it indicates that the water has reached adjusted temperature and the heater is switched off. You may switch off the appliance by pressing the end of the button of the glowing key marked with “0”. The appliance built-in thermostat unit has antifreeze function. When the thermostat knob is to the extreme left, at the scale beginning, the heater shall switch on at ambient temperature around 8-10°C and shall switch off at about 12-15°C. Thus in case of airtemperature fall in the room, the water in the tank will be protected from freezing.
ATTENTION! This feature shall not prevent the water in the room plumbing from freezing!
There is a sector marked ECO on the graphics around thermostat knob. When the knob mark is in the ECO sector area the water is heated to optimal temperature with redused thermal losses and with lower electrical energy consumption. At the same time the heated water is enough for domestic use. When greater volume of mixed water is needed the thermostat knob should be set to maximum setting for reaching higher temperature of the water in the water heater. We recommend the knob to be set to ECO when the water heater is being switched on for extended periods of time with no warm water consumption only for storing the heated water.
The three-phase water heater commissioning and switching in operation is carried out by switching the external device in position ON when the control light located on the plastic cover lights on, then the heater is switched on and starts warming water. When the water temperature reaches the values set on the thermostat, the control lamp switches off and lights on again after the water is cooled below a certain degree. The water heater is turned off with the external device button. The appliance built-in thermostat unit has Antifreeze function.
The temperature indicator installed on the appliance external coating indicates the process of water heating. It is not a measurement device and indicates only the approximate temperature and quantity of hot water within the water tank.
Using the built-in heater exchangers (for appliances equipped with) to heat the water in the tank must take place in accordance with the instruction provided for by the persons who carried out the design and installation of the system for heating water from alternative electric sources. The technicians who carried out the design and installation services shall be responsible for the water heater performance when powered with alternative sources of energy.

CORROSION PROTECTION

Enamelled water heater tanks
In each water heater with enameled tank is installed additional corrosion protection. It consists of an anode protector (anode) of special alloy operating only when the water tank is full. The anode is a consumable (i.e. a device with normal wear during the appliance operation) and its average operational life is up to 3 years. This period depends much of the type of operating the appliance and the characteristics of the heated water. After the period of operational life, a manufacturer authorized specialist or dealer service company must check the condition of the anode(s). Where necessary it should be replaced with new one. Compliance with the inspection deadline and timely replacement of the anode is important for the effective protection of the tank from corrosion. Both the assessment and replacement of the anode are not subject of manufacturer and seller warranty liabilities.
Water tanks of high quality chrome-nickel alloy steel Corrosion protection and guaranteed long life are secured by correct choice of steel, adequate design and engineering construction during tank manufacture process.

SERVICE, PREVENTION, MAINTENANCE

In order to secure reliable operation of the water tank in areas with highly calcareous water it is recommended to clean the limestone accumulated within. This operation should take place at least once every two years, while in areas with higher limestone content even more frequently. The depositions on the enamel coating should not be removed otherwise than wiped with dry cotton cloth and without using hard tools. Regular limestone removal and cleaning is particularly important for appliance reliable operation. It is recommended that during this maintenance operation you carry out a review of the enamelled tank anode condition. These services are not subject to warranty coverage and must be performed only by qualified person.
WARNING! In order to secure water heater safe and trouble-free operation, the combined valve should be checked regularly for reduced permeability. This is carried out by lifting the lever and waiting 30 to 60 seconds from the valve side edge to run thick and plenty water. This operation must be carried out after connecting the water heater to the water supply network and when filling of the tank with water, in the process of using the water heater not less than once every two weeks, as well as eventually after stop and start of water supply. If at full tank by opening the valve does not leak water or its flow is weak, there is a failure and probably the valve is clogged by impurities in the sewage. Using water heater combined with a defective valve is strictly prohibited.
Switch off immediately the appliance from the power supply network and contact the nearest authorized by manufacturer or seller service company. Otherwise, it will cause damage to the water tank, and could cause tangible and intangible damages in the room where the water heater is located.
When you are not certain about the temperature in the room where the water heater is installed, i.e. that it may fall below 0 °C, the water from the water tank MUST be drained – please refer to section „WATER HEATER CONNECTION TO THE WATER SUPPLY NETWORK“
The water heater outer shell and plastic parts can be cleaned using only a slightly damp soft cotton cloth and never with invasive and/or abrasive substances and preparations. Before cleaning the appliance, it MUST be disconnected from the power supply network with the additional disconnection device. IT IS FORBIDDEN to clean the appliance with steam generator. The water heater may be switched on in operation only after complete removal of moisture.
The rules for checking the anode and its replacement (please refer to previous section), as well as removal of the accumulated limestone, must be strictly observed both during and after the appliance warranty period.
During the appliance usage and maintenance do not damage the metal plate with its technical data and serial number. Should you take it off, keep it with the warranty form because it is the document serving to identify the water heater.

FAILURES

If the water heater fails to heat water, check the external device for disconnection, and for single-phase devices if the switch key is off and / or the thermostat knob is in minimum position setting.
If the power supply is in order, the circuit breakers are on and the thermostat knob is in maximum position, but the water in the appliance is still not warming (it is possible that the lighting key or the signal lamp are lighted or not), using the external disconnecting device unplug the water heater and contact the nearest authorized service company.
In case where from the any mixing tap when the hot water cocks are fully open no water is flowing or the water flow is too weak, check whether the stopcock before the water heater is not partially or completely closed; if the mains water supply has not stopped, or if the output filters of the mixers are not clogged. If all listed above causes are not the cause of failure, using the external disconnecting device unplug the heater and contact the nearest authorized service company.
When the water heater is equipped with electronic control board, in the additional instruction manual there are listed error messages appearing on the display in case of failure and what measures to take for each case. In any other general case of failure, using the external disconnecting device unplug the heater and contact the nearest authorized service company.
