5. Installation

Important: Installation must be performed by a certified plumber or qualified technician to ensure safety and proper functioning. Incorrect installation can lead to electric shock, water leakage, or damage to the appliance.

5.1 Site Selection:

• Choose a vertical wall location capable of supporting the full weight of the water heater when filled (approximately 40 kg).
• Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for maintenance and ventilation.
• The location should be protected from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Install close to the point of use to minimize heat loss in pipes.

5.2 Mounting the Unit:

1. Mark the drilling points on the wall using the provided wall clamp as a template.
2. Drill holes and insert appropriate wall plugs.
3. Securely fasten the wall clamp to the wall using the provided screws.
4. Carefully lift and hang the water heater onto the wall clamp, ensuring it is stable and level.

5.3 Plumbing Connections:

1. Connect the cold water inlet (usually marked blue) to the main cold water supply.
2. Connect the hot water outlet (usually marked red) to the hot water distribution system.
3. Install a pressure relief valve (PRV) on the cold water inlet line, as per local codes.
4. Open the cold water supply valve and a hot water tap in your home to fill the tank and purge air. Close the tap once water flows steadily.
5. Check all connections for leaks.

5.4 Electrical Connection:

• Ensure the power supply is switched off at the main circuit breaker before making any electrical connections.
• Connect the water heater to a dedicated, properly grounded electrical circuit with appropriate voltage (230 Volts) and wattage (2000 Watts).
• Use a suitable circuit breaker and wiring as per electrical safety standards.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Initial Startup:

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your water heater. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.

• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior casing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) Check: Annually, manually operate the PRV to ensure it is not blocked. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for PRV testing.
• Anode Rod Inspection/Replacement: The anode rod protects the tank from corrosion. It should be inspected every 1-3 years and replaced if significantly depleted. This task should be performed by a qualified technician.
• Descaling: In areas with hard water, mineral deposits can accumulate inside the tank and on the heating element, reducing efficiency. Periodic descaling by a qualified technician may be necessary.
• Drainage: If the water heater will be out of use for an extended period or if there is a risk of freezing, drain the tank completely.
