Cylinder emptying
In order to empty the cylinder:
•
turn off the valves which connect cylinder with central heating system,
•
turn off the valves which connect cylinder with PC circuit,
•
turn off the valve to connect the cold water inlet with cylinder,
•
turn off the valve on the cold water inlet,
•
turn on the drain valve.
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.
Always tighten the lid’s screws to the correct torque of 18-22Nm.
•
The wear condition of the anode must be inspected annually.
•
The anode must be replaced once every 18 months.
-
anode rod replacement [3]: take off upper lid [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).
