5. Installation

Installation should only be carried out by a qualified professional. Ensure all local plumbing and electrical codes are met.

5.1 Mounting the Heater

• The heater is designed for over-table (under-sink) installation.
• Choose a suitable location that can support the weight of the heater when full (approx. 15L water + 9.6kg unit = ~25kg).
• Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and maintenance.

5.2 Water Connection

The water heater requires a 1/2 inch cold and hot water connection.

1. Turn off the main water supply.
2. Connect the cold water inlet (marked blue) to the cold water supply line.
3. Install the supplied combi check valve on the cold water inlet. This valve prevents backflow and manages pressure.
4. Connect the hot water outlet (marked red) to the hot water faucet.
5. Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free.
6. Open the main water supply and allow the tank to fill completely. Open a hot water tap to release air from the system until water flows steadily.
