2. INSTALLATION
When possible the water heater should be sited to minimize the pipe distance to hot water outlets.
It should be protected from moisture and frost.
Please note that the inlet and outlet are easily accessible. Avoid if possible the use of many fittings, so that it can be
disassembled without problems or any spare part may be easily replaced.
Wall and fixings must be suitable to support the total weight of the water heater when full.
Installation must comply with regulations for electrics if installed in bathrooms.
Use the supplied mounting bracket to fit the water heater to the wall.
Fix the bracket securely to the wall using suitable screws with appropriate plugs or fixings. Only then it is possible to hang the
water heater from the bracket.
Maintain a clearance of 20 cm underneath the water heater to allow maintenance.
This water heater is to be installed exclusively in vertical position. Inlet and outlet must be always in the lower part of the
water heater.
Water connections.
All the fittings are G1/2”.
Before making the water connections it is necessary to clean all the pipes to prevent that any debris is introduced in the
water heater.
ATTENTION. Never connect directly inlet and outlet to the existing pipes. Dielectric hoses (max. tightening torque 3.5 kgm)
must be installed both in water inlet and water outlet to prevent from corrosion. The guarantee will not cover damage
caused if dielectric hoses are not fitted.
PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE. If the incoming water pressure exceeds 5.5 bar it is necessary to install a Pressure Reducing
Valve on the water main into the dwelling. It is recommended a pressure between 3 and 4 bar.
On the cold water inlet a 7 bar pressure relief valve including a non-return feature must be installed. The warranty only
covers the appliance if this valve is installed and the installation diagram is followed at any time.
