Installation
Mounting
It is recommended that the water heater is installed in a
room with existing floor drainage. The water heater can
be mounted hanging vertically on a flat surface (with
the connections downward) or lying horizontally (with
the reverse down).
Use the supplied suspension brackets (12) when hanging
on a wall, these are secured to the wall first (Ø8 - 10
mm screws), then the supplied securing bracket (13) is
mounted on the water heater, see the figure below. The
water heater is then mounted on the bracket. The water
heater can now be slid sideways to some extent, which
facilitates the fitting of the pipes.
To complete fixing, the securing bracket is screwed (13)
to the wall.
An area of 200 mm is required in front of/under the wa-
ter heater for service work.
* EMINENTE requires free space behind /above the wa-
ter heater for inspection of the sacrificial anode
(40). See the section “Care and maintenance -
Sacrificial anode”.
Pipe installation
The water heater is equipped for compression ring cou-
plings for copper or plastic pipes. Internal support bush-
es should be fitted when a plastic or annealed copper
pipe is used.
All necessary valve equipment: shut-off/non-return
valve, safety/drain valve and the mixing valve installed
on delivery.
An overflow pipe should be routed from the safety valve
to an appropriate drain. The overflow pipe must be the
same size as the safety valve (Ø 15 mm), the pipe must
be tightened so that no water pocket can occur, and
must be frost-free and well supported.
If uncertain contact pipe installer or refer to applicable
standards.
If the hot water heater is installed without a mixing
valve, the thermostat setting must be such that the tap
water temperature does not exceed 65 °C. Should a
higher temperature be required, follow the applicable
directions.
Filling
The water heater must be filled with water before the
mains supply is switched on. Filling takes place as fol-
lows:
1 Check that the bleed screw°(45) is tightened.
2 Check that the safety/drainage valve (23) is
closed.
3 Open the shut off valve by turning the knob
(22) anti-clockwise .
4 Bleed the water heater by opening a hot water
tap in the system. When only water comes out
of the tap this can be closed.
The water heater is now filled and the power can be
switched on.
Setting the mixing valve
Increase/decrease the tap water temperature by turning
the mixing valve knob (25) anti-clockwise/clockwise.
Setting range approx. 50 – 65°C.
