3.8.2. Installing the Water Heater
The following elements are supplied with the heater :
1x 15 mm gas inlet isolation tap complete with washer
1x 15 mm x1/2” swivel nut 90° brass connector for the
hot water outlet complete with washer
1x 15 mm cold water inlet isolating valve complete
with washer for the cold water inlet
The dimensions for installing the appliance are detailed in
Sections 3.6 (page 13).
The device is equipped with a fi lter
“G”
, located on the cold
water inlet. Periodically clean the hydraulic system, if dirt is
present.
IMPORTANT!!
Do not activate the device without the fi lter.
IMPORTANT!!
If the unit is installed in a hard water area (> 200 mg/l) it is
necessary to install a water softener to reduce the formation
of limescale in the heat exchanger.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by limescale.
IMPORTANT!!
As this appliance features a safety discharge valve rated at 8
bar, t
he inlet water pressure must be limited to a maximum
of 6 bar, a pressure limiting valve must be fi tted to prevent
excessive pressure on the appliance.
Should the discharge
valve ever operate and it be found that a pressure limiting
valve is not fi tted, Ariston will not be held liable for any
damage incurred.
3.8.3 Siting the Appliance
The location chosen for the appliance must permit the
provision of a satisfactory fl ue termination (see page 14,

pipe. Where necessary the local gas supplier will arrange for
the existing meter to be checked or for a suitable meter to be
fi tted.
Installation pipes should be fi tted in accordance with BS 6891.
Pipework from the meter must be of adequate size. Pipes of a
