USE AND MAINTENANCE

After the connection to water and electric network the heater is ready for use.

By turning the knob of thermostat at the front side of the protecting cover, the wished

temperature of water between 25°C and 75°C is chosen. We recommend the adjustment of

the knob to the position “E”. Such an adjustment is the most economic; with it the temperature

of water shall be about 55°C, the excretion of lime-stone and thermal loss shall be smaller as

by adjustment to higher temperature.

The operation of electric immersion heaters is shown by pilot light. On the perimeter of the

water heater there is a built-in thermometer which is showing the temperature of water.

When the heater shall not be used during a longer time, its contents must be protected

against freezing so that the power supply (electricity) shall not be switched off, but the

thermostat knob shall be adjusted to the position “*”. With this adjustment the heater shall

maintain the water temperature by about 10°C. But when the heater is switched-off from the

electric network, at risk for freezing, the water must be emptied from it.

Before draining water heater should be disconnected from main supply. Than hot water

valves on taps should be opened. Water heater is to be drained through inlet connection.

For this purpose it is recommendable to put special tting or a drain valve between inlet

connection of water heater and safety valve. If this is not the case water can be drained

directly through safety valve by putting the lever or screw cap of safety valve to “Test”

position. After draining through inlet pipe there is small quantity of residual water which is to

be drained by taking off of heating ange.”

The outside of the water heater is cleaned by a mild solution of detergent. The solvents or

rough cleaning means should not be used.

By regular service check of impeccable operation must be assured and a long lifetime of

the water heater. The rst check must be performed by an authorised service workshop

after about two years after the rst connection. At check, the use of anti-corrosion protecting

anode is checked and if necessary lime stone must be cleaned which with regard to the

quality, quantity and temperature of the water used is gathered in the inside of the water

heater. Service workshop shall after check recommend also the date of next check of the

water heater with regard to the established results.

Never try to repair any possible faults of the water heater by yourself, but inform

about it the nearest authorised service workshop.
