Pressure reducer
The pressure reducer is an additional accessory which should be installed at your water meter’s outlet if the water pressure in your house is greater than 0.5 MPa (5 bar).
It prevents the safety unit’s valve from opening erratically when the water heater is not operational.
To determine the water pressure in your house.
You can fi nd out more from your water supplier Warning : the pressure limiter must never be positioned between the safety unit and the cold water inlet

Safety unit
The safety unit is a mandatory accessory. Its role is to maintain an interior water pressure of 0.7 MPa (7 bar) to prevent explo- sion (it fulfi ls the same role as a valve on a pressure cooker).
The safety unit therefore lets water escape when the water heater is operational. This fl ow may represent up to 3% of the volume of the water heater cycle.
The safety unit therefore lets water escape when the water Caution: the safety unit must always be directly connected to the tank’s cold water tank. Nothing should be fi tted between the safety unit and the water heater. (no valve, no pressure limiter, etc.).

Where to install my water heater?

3.1. Precautions

• Choose a place of installation whose temperature is always between 4°C and 35°C.
• The water heater must be positioned as close as possible to the major draw-off points (bathroom, kitchen, etc.)
• If it is positioned outside the living area (cellar, garage), the pipes and the safety units (safety unit, pressure limiter) must be insulated.
• Make provision in the room for ventilation to prevent condensation and corrosion of the water heater paint.
• Ensure that the supporting element (wall or ceiling) is suffi ciently resistant to accommodate the weight of the water heater full of water (see table page 43).
• Make provision for a space of 40 cm for the periodic maintenance of the heater element.
• In the case of installation above living rooms (suspended ceilings, attics, etc.), it is ESSENTIAL to make provision for a water collection tank connected to the drain under the water heater (shower type tank for example).

3.2. Specifi c installation in the bathroom

• Installation outside these areas (NF C 15-100 or standards in force in the country).

If bathroom dimensions do not allow the water heater to be positioned outside these areas : Possible in Area 1 if:

• the water heater is horizontal and positioned as high as possible
• the pipes are made from conductive material
• the water heater is protected by a circuit breaker residual differential current (30m A) connected

4.2. Vertical water heater on base

Fitting a vertical water heater on a base (fi g. 1) does not require mounting.
Make sure you fi t it on a fl at surface.
You can use a riser (fi g.2) to facilitate routing of the pipes.

4.3. Horizontal wall-mounted water heater – Underside connection
**horizontal water heater can be fi tted to the wall, ceiling or fl oor.
The cold water inlet and the hot water outlet must always be at the bottom.**

Leave a free space of 400 mm underneath the cover in case the heater element in case the heater element needs to be replaced.

4.4. Horizontal wall-mounted water heater- Side connection

Essential:
Align the pick-ups vertically with the hot water outlet (red) above the cold water (blue).
Mounting procedure:

• Assemble the belts and brackets using the nuts and bolts in the package without tightening them (fi gs. 1 and 2)
• Fit the brackets with their belt on the support (wall, ceiling, fl oor), then tighten
• Position the water heater using one of the 4 mounting options.
• Complete the mounting procedure by tightening the belt nuts on the bracket

Water heater water connections

The water heater must be connected in accordance with the standards and regulations in the country in which it is installed (for France: DTU Plumbing 60-1).

5.1. Conventional connection

• Connect the NEW safety unit to the cold water inlet (blue) on your water heater.
• Place the siphon under the safety unit and connect its drain pipe to the drain.
• Tighten the dielectric connection onto the hot water outlet (red) on your water heater.
• Tighten your pipes on your water heater.

WARNING
Your pipes must be rigid (copper) or fl exible (standardised braided stainless steel hoses) and able to withstand 100°C and 1 MPa (10 bar). Otherwise, use a temperature limiter.

|
---|---

5.4. Connection with a temperature limiter

If your pipes are made from synthetic materials (plastic or PER for example), it is essential to fi t a temperature limiter (or thermostatic regulator).
The limiter must never be connected directly to the water heater.
The temperature limiter enables the risks of burning to be limited.

5.2. Connecting to a pressure reducer

The pressure reducer is mandatory if the water pressure in your home is greater than 0.5 MPa (5 bar).
Place it on the cold water inlet, to your water meter outlet, never directly to the water heater.
5.3. Filling the water heater

1. Turn on the house’s HOT water taps.
2. Turn on the cold water valve located on the safety unit.
3. The water heater is fi lled as soon as you notice a fl ow of cold water at the hot water valve outlet. Close these.
4. Check that the safety unit is operating correctly by moving the drain valve. A little water should fl ow out.
5. Check the sealing at the water inlet and outlets on the water heater.
   If you notice a leak, try to retighten the connections.
   If the leak persists, drain the water heater (see page 48) and retighten the connections.
   Start the operation again until full sealing is achieved.

Connecting the water heater to the electricity

SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY!

1. Check the compatibility of the water heater with the electrical installation.

2. If the water heater is pre-wired, connect the water heater’s power supply cable to a cable outlet (the water heater should not be connected to a socket).
   If the water heater is not pre-wired, the use of a rigid cable connection with a minimum cross-section of 3 x 2.5 mm2 in single-phase (phase, neutral, earth) or4 x 2.5 mm2 in three-phase (3 phases + earth) is essential (refer to the «wiringdiagram» section).
   The use of fl exible wires is prohibited.
   

3. Check that the water heater is full by turning on a HOT water tap. COLD water should floow out.
   If the water heater is switched on when it is empty, there is a risk of damage (not covered by the warranty).

4. Switch the electricity back on.

5. direct connection to the resistors (without passing through the thermostat) is strictly forbidden as it is extremely dangerous, the water temperature would not be
   limited.

Commissioning the water heater

1. If your electrical distribution board is equipped with a day/night switch (reduced night tariff), move it to 1 (forced operation).

2. There may be some light smoke when heating starts (NORMAL operation for Chauff eo+).
   After a while, water should fl ow drop by drop through the safety unit (connected to a waste water drain pipe). During heating, and depending on the water quality, the water heater can emit a sound similar to that made by a kettle. This sound is normal and does not mean there is a fault.

3. Wait for heating to fi nish before using your water heater fully (see specifi cations table to determine the estimated time depending on your model).
   The thermostat is set in the factory to 65 °C (± 5 °C). It is possible to modify this setting by the thermostat knob. Reducing the regulation temprature can help reduce limescale. For 50L immersion slim water heater, indicator light is on during heating phase only.

Domestic maintenance advice

Your appliance should be checked by a professional every 2 years, in order to guarantee its long-term performance.
8.1. The safety unit
Move the safety unit valve regularly (at least once a month).
This allows deposits which could block the safety unit to be drained away.
Failure to perform maintenance on the safety unit may result in deterioration of the water heater (not covered by the warranty).

8.2. Draining a water heater
If the water heater needs to remain switched off for more than a week (in a second residence for example), and it is located in a place exposed to frost, it is essential to drain the water tank in order to protect against corrosion.
Once the water heater is drained, bleed all the pipes in your house (turn on all your house’s cold and hot water taps so that the pipes are empty).

SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY!

1. Switch off the power

2. Turn off your general cold water inlet valve.

3. Turn the safety valve wheel (¼ of a turn).

4. Turn on the HOT water valves in order to draw in the air.

5. The water heater is empty when the water stops flowing to the safety unit.
   Draining can take up to one and a half hours or more.

6. Once completed, follow the steps in paragraph 7 “commissioning” (page 47) to return your water heater to working order.

8.3. Maintaining the tank
Check the condition of the magnesium anode every two years and replace it if its diameter is less than 10 mm (in the case of ACI versions, the anode does not require any maintenance). It is strongly recommended to have maintenance performed on the tank by a professional every 2 – 3 years depending on the quality of the water: draining and limescale removal. In areas where the water is hard, it is possible to treat the water with a softener. This should be regulated and the water hardness should remain greater than 8°f.
Using a softener does not invalidate our warranty as long as it is used in accordance with professional standards, and is checked and maintained regularly.
Do not throw your appliance away in the domestic waste, but take it to a specially designated place (collection point) where it can be recycled.

Troubleshooting guide

5.1. V.1 No hot water

1. Have the electrical power supply
checked by a professional (using a
multimeter). 2. If you have Peak/Off-peak hours
pricing,
2.1. Switch to forced operation
from your electric distribution board.
2.2. Check the position of the circuit
breaker (should be in the ON position)| If there is no current
at the water heater’s terminals:
have an electrician look at it.| Electrical power supply fault.
If there is current at the water heater’s
terminals, go to the next step.|
1. Cut-off the water heater current (the circuit
breaker should be in the OFF position). 2. Trigger the thermostat safety device again by pressing the red button.
3. Switch to forced operation from your electrical distribution board.| If the thermostat regularly goes into safety
mode, descale the water heater (see the
chapter on maintenance) and retighten all the
electrical connections (after having switched
off the power).
If the safety device is not triggered, move
onto the next step.| Thermostat going into safe mode.
NOTE: it is preferable to replace the
thermostat . if it goes into safe mode
numerous times. (more than 10 times)
1. Cut-off the water heater power (the circuit
breaker should be in the OFF position). 2. Take a resistance measurement at the heater
element terminals using a multimeter (in ohm
position).| Null or infi nite value.| Replace the faulty resistor.
Value in ohms > 0.| Replace the thermostat.

5.2. Electric meter which breaks the circuit

1. Check that the meter only cuts-out when the
water heater starts heating.
2. If you have Peak/Off-peak hours pricing,
2.1 Switch to forced operation  from your electrical distribution  board.
2.2 Check the position of the  circuit breaker (should be  in the ON position).| 1. Check that the meter only cuts-out when the
water heater starts heating.
2. If you have Peak/Off-peak hours pricing,
2.1 Switch to forced operation  from your electrical distribution  board.
2.2 Check the position of the  circuit breaker (should be  in the ON position).|
On a shielded product: Replace the heater element.| Faulty resistor.
On a steatite product: Clean the area where the heater element is located (hollow interior) with
a cloth or a bottle brush.
If the problem persists: Replace the heater element.| Residue in the resistor sleeve.
Faulty resistor.

5.3. Lukewarm water

1.1. Switch off the electrical power supply to the water heater.
1.2. Open the plastic cover.
1.3. Switch the thermostat to maximum. See Section III Setting the temperature.| Leave the thermostat setting at maximum in order to enjoy very warm water in sufficient quantity.| Incorrect thermostat setting.
2.1. Shut off cold water inlet on the safety unit. 2.2. Turn on a hot water tap in the house.| If water flows from the hot water tap, then one of the house’s taps is faulty.
Replace the faulty tap or consult a plumber to find the cause of the problem.| A tap (mixer) allows cold water into the hot water circuit.

5.6. Leak problem

Leak located on the hot and cold water take-offs
1.Switch off the electrical power supply
2.Drain the water heater (see page 48).| Reconnect all the connections (see page 45, the section on installation).| Poor connector sealing
Leak coming from the nuts located under the plastic cover
1.Switch off the electrical power supply
2.Drain the water heater (see page 48).| Replace the closing flange seal| Damaged seal or leaking heater body.
Lek gevonden bij de bak
1.Switch off the electrical power supply
2.Drain the water heater (see page 48).| Replace the water heater.| Tank corrosion.

5.5. Boiling noise

1. Check that the noise occurs when the water heater is in the process of heating.| If the noise occurs during heating, descale the water heater (see
Chapter maintenance page 48).| Water heater is scaled up.
If the noise does not occur during heating or it consists of clicking noises, or it occurs when the valve is turned on, consult a plumber so that they can fi nd the cause of the problem.| The water heater is not the cause.

On a shielded product, this is a normal occurrence as the resistor is directly submerged in the water.

5.4. Water is too hot – steam

1.1. Switch the water heater’s power supply off immediately.
1.2. Check the water heater’s electrical wiring.| Reconnect the water heater’s electrical wiring in accordance with the diagram on page 58.| Connect directly to the resistor ithout passing through the thermostat.
2.1 Turn off the water heater power supply.
2.2 Open the plastic cover.
2.3 Lower the temperature setting gradually
using the wheel.
See page 59, Section III Setting the temperature.| Adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature.| Thermostat set at the maximum.
