- Mount the geyser horizontally using appropriate fasteners and brackets.
- Connect the cold water inlet and hot water outlet pipes. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Install the pressure relief valve as per manufacturer guidelines.
- Fill the geyser with water by opening a hot water tap until water flows freely, indicating the tank is full.
- Connect the electrical supply to a properly grounded outlet.
- Verify all connections and ensure no leaks before powering on.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and filled with water, the Ferroli Divo 15L water geyser is ready for operation.
- Power On: Switch on the main power supply to the geyser. An indicator light (if present) will illuminate.
- Temperature Setting: Adjust the thermostat knob (if externally accessible) to your desired water temperature. For energy efficiency and safety, avoid setting the temperature too high.
- Heating Cycle: The geyser will begin heating the water. The heating element will automatically switch off once the set temperature is reached. It will reactivate when the water temperature drops.
- Power Off: When not in use for extended periods, it is advisable to switch off the power supply to the geyser.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your water geyser.
- Drainage: Periodically drain the tank to remove sediment buildup, especially in areas with hard water. Consult a professional for this procedure.
- Pressure Relief Valve Check: Manually operate the pressure relief valve at least once a year to ensure it is not blocked. Follow manufacturer's instructions for this check.
- Anode Rod Inspection: The aluminum anode rod should be inspected and replaced periodically (typically every 1-3 years, depending on water quality) to maintain corrosion protection. This should be done by a qualified technician.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the geyser with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Professional Servicing: It is recommended to have the geyser professionally serviced every 1-2 years.
