Wall Mounting
- Use the provided wall fixing card to mark drilling points on the wall.
- Drill holes and insert appropriate wall plugs.
- Secure the mounting bracket (if separate) or the water heater directly to the wall using screws.
Plumbing Connections
Connect the cold water inlet (blue marking) and hot water outlet (red marking) pipes to the corresponding ports on the water heater. Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free. A pressure relief valve must be installed on the cold water inlet line as per local regulations.
Electrical Connection
Connect the water heater to a dedicated electrical circuit with proper grounding. The electrical supply must match the voltage and wattage requirements specified on the product label (240 Volts, 3000 Watts). It is recommended to install a Residual Current Device (RCD) for added safety.
Operating Instructions
Initial Start-up
- Before switching on power, ensure the water heater is completely filled with water. Open a hot water tap to allow air to escape until water flows steadily.
- Close the hot water tap.
- Switch on the electrical power supply to the water heater.
Indicator Lights
- Power Indicator: Illuminates when the water heater is receiving electrical power.
- Heating Indicator: Illuminates when the heating element is active and water is being heated. It will turn off once the desired temperature is reached.
Temperature Control
The Venus Lyra 3R30 is an instant water heater designed to provide hot water on demand. It typically does not have an adjustable thermostat for user setting. The unit heats water as it flows through, providing hot water almost instantly.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your water heater. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the outer body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
Pressure Relief Valve Check
Periodically check the pressure relief valve to ensure it is not blocked and is functioning correctly. Consult a qualified technician for this check.
Descaling (Professional Service Recommended)
In areas with hard water, mineral deposits (scale) can build up inside the tank and on the heating element, reducing efficiency. It is recommended to have the unit descaled by a qualified service technician annually or as needed.
Troubleshooting
