2. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your water heater. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional.
2.1 Mounting the Water Heater
- Select a suitable wall location capable of supporting the water heater's weight when full (approximately 45 kg for the 30-liter model).
- Mark the positions for the mounting brackets on the wall. Ensure the marks are level and correctly spaced according to the unit's dimensions.
- Drill holes and securely fasten the mounting brackets to the wall using appropriate hardware (not included).
- Carefully lift and hang the water heater onto the installed brackets, ensuring it is stable and level.

2.2 Water Connections
- Identify the cold water inlet (usually marked blue or with a blue ring) and the hot water outlet (usually marked red or with a red ring). Both connections are 1/2 G.
- Install the non-return safety valve on the cold water inlet pipe. This valve prevents water backflow and excessive pressure buildup.
- Connect the cold water supply line to the inlet and the hot water output line to the outlet. Use appropriate plumbing fittings and ensure all connections are watertight.
- Open the main water supply and check for any leaks. Allow the tank to fill completely before proceeding to electrical connection.
2.3 Electrical Connection
- Ensure the water heater is properly grounded to prevent electrical hazards.
- Connect the water heater to a dedicated electrical circuit with appropriate voltage and current ratings (1500W).
- Verify that all electrical connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes.
3. Operating Instructions
Once installed and filled with water, your Tornado Electric Water Heater is ready for operation.
3.1 Powering On and Off
- To turn on the water heater, ensure it is plugged into a suitable power outlet and the main power switch (if applicable) is in the 'ON' position.
- The 'Power On' indicator light will illuminate, indicating the unit is receiving power.
- To turn off the water heater, switch off the main power or unplug the unit.

3.2 Temperature Adjustment
- The water heater features a temperature dial on the front panel, ranging from 'MIN' to 'MAX'.
- Rotate the dial to your desired temperature setting. Turning towards 'MAX' will increase the water temperature.
- The 'Heating' indicator light will illuminate when the water heater is actively heating water and will turn off once the set temperature is reached.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your water heater.
4.1 General Cleaning
- Periodically wipe the exterior of the water heater with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure the area around the water heater is kept clean and free from obstructions.
4.2 Anode Rod Inspection and Replacement
- The water heater is equipped with magnesium anodes to protect the inner tank from corrosion.
- These anode rods should be inspected annually by a qualified technician and replaced if significantly depleted.
4.3 Draining the Tank
- If the water heater will be out of use for an extended period or in areas prone to freezing, the tank should be drained.
- Turn off the power supply to the water heater.
- Close the cold water inlet valve.
- Open a hot water faucet in your home to relieve pressure.
- Connect a hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the water heater and direct it to a suitable drain.
- Open the drain valve and allow all water to empty from the tank.
4.4 Safety Valve Check
- Periodically check the non-return safety valve for proper operation. Refer to the safety valve manufacturer's instructions for specific testing procedures.
5. Troubleshooting
Before contacting customer service, please refer to the following troubleshooting guide for common issues.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No hot water | No power supply Thermostat set too low Heating element failure | Check power connection and circuit breaker Adjust thermostat to a higher setting Contact service technician |
| Insufficient hot water | Thermostat set too low High hot water demand Sediment buildup in tank | Increase temperature setting Allow more time for reheating Drain and flush the tank (professional service recommended) |
| Water is too hot | Thermostat set too high | Decrease temperature setting |
| Water leak | Loose connections Faulty safety valve Tank corrosion | Tighten connections Inspect and replace safety valve Contact service technician |
| Heating indicator not lighting up | Water already at set temperature Heating element issue | This is normal if water is hot enough Contact service technician |
Safety Features: The water heater is equipped with an overheat sensor and a dry heating sensor. If these sensors detect abnormal conditions, the heater may automatically shut off to prevent damage. If this occurs, turn off the power, wait for the unit to cool, and then restart. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
