Start-up
Before the start-up make sure that the installation procedures have been carried out
in accordance with the regulations included in this manual.
Cylinder must be filled with water:
-
turn on the valve on cold water supply pipe,
-
turn on the hot water outlet valve (water outflow without the air bubbles indicates
that the tank is full),
-
turn off the outlet valves.
Turn on the heating medium and solar collectors valves. Check for water and heat-
ing medium leaks. Check out the safety valve performance in accordance with valve
manufacturer’s instruction.
Operation
Follow the guidelines below for safety and trouble-free cylinder operation:
•
Check out the safety valve performance once every 14 days. Do not use the
cylinder if the water does not come out (it indicates that the valve is broken).
•
Clean inside of the cylinder periodically. The frequency of cleaning depends on
the degree of water hardness. The cleaning should be done by a qualified person.
•
The wear condition of the anode must be inspected annually.
•
The anode must be replaced once every 18 months.
-
anode rod replacement [2]: take off anode’s blank [1], take out an insulation
ring, turn off the cut-off valve on cold water supply pipe, turn on the hot water
valve (mixer tap), turn the drain valve on, drain as much water as you need
to easily unscrew the anode rod (avoiding room flooding). Remove the cork
and unscrew the anode rod.
•
Heat up the water above 70°C periodically for hygiene reasons.
•
Failures or malfunctions notify to the seller.
•
Insulate the outlet pipe and heating coil connection pipes to minimise the heat
loss (recommended).
Above activities are beyond of the scope of warranty service (should be done by
the user).
Cylinder emptying
In order to empty the cylinder:
•
turn off the valves which connect cylinder with central heating system,
•
turn off the valve on the cold water inlet,
•
turn on the drain valve.
