4. Setup and Installation
The Lifelong LLWH106 is designed for vertical wall mounting. For safety and optimal performance, professional installation is strongly recommended.
4.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Ensure the installation location is suitable for a wall-mounted appliance and can support the weight of the unit when full of water.
- Verify that the electrical wiring and plumbing connections meet local codes and are compatible with the water heater's requirements.
- Note that inlet and outlet connection pipes, as well as the power plug, are not included with the unit and must be procured separately.
4.2 Mounting the Unit
- Choose a suitable wall location, ensuring sufficient clearance around the unit for maintenance.
- Mark the drilling points on the wall using the provided mounting template or by measuring the unit's dimensions.
- Drill holes and insert wall plugs. Secure the mounting bracket (if separate) or the unit directly to the wall using appropriate screws.
- Ensure the unit is level and securely fastened.
4.3 Plumbing and Electrical Connections
- Connect the cold water inlet pipe (typically blue) to the designated inlet port on the geyser.
- Connect the hot water outlet pipe (typically red) to the designated outlet port.
- Ensure all plumbing connections are tight and leak-free.
- Connect the electrical wiring to a dedicated power outlet with proper grounding. If a power plug is not pre-installed, have a qualified electrician connect one.

5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your instant water heater:
- Fill the Tank: Before switching on the power, ensure the water heater tank is completely filled with water. Open a hot water tap in your home until water flows out steadily, indicating the tank is full and air has been purged.
- Power On: Plug in the water heater and switch on the main power supply. The power indicator light will illuminate.
- Heating Process: The heating element will activate, and the heat indicator light will turn on. Due to its instant nature, hot water will be available quickly.
- Control Water Flow for Temperature: For hotter water, open the tap slightly (less flow). For warmer water, open the tap more fully (higher flow). This allows you to control the water temperature by adjusting the flow rate.
- Usage Sequence: To ensure safety and longevity of the geyser, follow this sequence:
Step 1: Turn on the hot water tap with a controlled flow.
Step 2: Turn on the geyser's power switch.
Step 3: Once the desired amount of hot water is collected, turn off the geyser's power switch.
Step 4: Turn off the hot water tap. - Power Off: After use, it is recommended to switch off the power supply to the water heater.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your water heater.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Descaling: In areas with hard water, mineral deposits can accumulate on the heating element. If you notice reduced heating efficiency, contact a qualified technician for descaling. The copper heating element is designed to resist scale buildup, but periodic checks are beneficial.
- Leak Checks: Periodically inspect all plumbing connections for any signs of leaks. Address any leaks immediately to prevent damage.
- Professional Inspection: It is advisable to have the water heater inspected by a qualified technician at least once a year to ensure all safety features are functioning correctly and to perform any necessary maintenance.
