4. Setup and Installation

Installation of the HTWTV100ESS water heater should only be performed by a certified technician to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.

4.1. Mounting

• This model is designed for vertical installation. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the full weight of the water heater when filled with water (approx. 100 kg + unit weight).
• Use appropriate mounting hardware (not included) suitable for your wall type.

4.2. Plumbing Connections

• Connect the cold water inlet (blue marking) and hot water outlet (red marking) to your plumbing system.
• Install the supplied pressure relief valve on the cold water inlet line. Ensure it is properly oriented and connected to a discharge pipe leading to an open drain. Do not install any shut-off valve between the water heater and the pressure relief valve.
• Utilize the provided electrolytic sleeves during connection to prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals in the plumbing system, thereby extending the life of the unit.
• After connecting, slowly fill the tank with water and check for leaks before connecting to power. Open a hot water faucet to allow air to escape during filling.

4.3. Electrical Connection

• Connect the water heater to a dedicated electrical circuit with appropriate voltage (220-240V, 50/60Hz) and overcurrent protection (1500W, 6.5A).
• Ensure proper grounding as per local electrical codes.
• The electrical connection should be made by a qualified electrician.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Initial Startup

• Ensure the tank is completely filled with water before turning on the power.
• Switch on the electrical supply to the water heater. The indicator light (if present) will illuminate.

5.2. Temperature Adjustment

• The water heater features an adjustable temperature control. Locate the thermostat knob, usually at the bottom or side of the unit.
• Turn the knob to set your desired water temperature. Higher settings will provide hotter water but consume more energy.
• The external thermometer will display the current water temperature inside the tank. Allow time for the water to heat up to the set temperature.

5.3. Normal Operation

• Once the desired temperature is reached, the heating element will cycle on and off automatically to maintain the set temperature.
• Hot water will be available at your faucets.

6. Maintenance

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

6.1. Pressure Relief Valve Check

• Test the pressure relief valve at least once a year by lifting the lever. Water should flow out of the discharge pipe. If no water flows, or if it continues to drip after the lever is released, the valve may need replacement.

6.2. Magnesium Anode Inspection/Replacement

• The anti-corrosion magnesium anode protects the tank from corrosion. Its lifespan depends on water quality. It is recommended to have a qualified technician inspect and replace the anode every 1-3 years, especially in areas with hard water.

6.3. Draining the Tank

• If the water heater will be out of use for an extended period or if there is a risk of freezing, drain the tank.
• To drain: Disconnect power, close the cold water inlet valve, open a hot water faucet, and open the drain valve at the bottom of the water heater.

6.4. Cleaning

• Clean the exterior of the water heater with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
