Setup and Installation

Installation of the EuropAce ESH 3006 water heater should only be performed by a qualified technician. Incorrect installation can lead to property damage, injury, or void the warranty.

Pre-Installation Checks:

• Verify that the installation location is suitable for a wall-mounted appliance and can support the weight of the water heater when full (approximately 30 kg water + unit weight).
• Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for maintenance and ventilation.
• Confirm that the electrical supply meets the appliance's requirements and that a proper grounding point is available.
• Check that the water supply pressure is within the recommended range for the appliance.

Mounting:

1. Using the included brackets and mounting accessories, securely attach the water heater to a sturdy wall. Refer to the detailed mounting template (if provided separately) for precise drilling locations.
2. Ensure the unit is level to ensure proper operation and drainage.

Plumbing Connections:

1. Connect the cold water inlet (typically marked blue) to your main cold water supply.
2. Connect the hot water outlet (typically marked red) to your household hot water distribution system.
3. Install a pressure relief valve (PRV) on the cold water inlet line as required by local codes to prevent excessive pressure buildup.
4. Open a hot water faucet in your home to allow air to escape while the tank fills with water.
5. Once water flows steadily from the hot water faucet, close the faucet and check all connections for leaks.

Electrical Connection:

1. Ensure the power supply is OFF at the circuit breaker before making any electrical connections.
2. Connect the water heater to a dedicated, properly grounded electrical circuit as per local electrical codes.
3. Once all connections are secure, turn on the power supply to the water heater.

Operating Instructions

Initial Start-up:

• After installation and filling the tank with water, switch on the electrical power to the unit.
• The indicator lights on the control panel will illuminate, indicating power is supplied and the heating process has begun.

Temperature Adjustment:

• The water heater features an adjustable automatic thermostat. Locate the temperature control dial on the unit.
• Rotate the dial to set your desired water temperature, ranging from 25°C to 75°C.
• Higher settings will provide hotter water but may consume more energy. Lower settings are more energy-efficient.

Annual Inspection by a Qualified Technician:

• It is recommended to have a qualified technician inspect your water heater annually.
• This inspection should include checking the heating element, thermostat, and all safety devices.
• The magnesium anode rod, which protects against rust and corrosion, should be inspected and replaced if significantly depleted. The frequency of replacement depends on water quality.

Draining the Tank (if required):

• Turn off the power supply to the water heater.
• Close the cold water inlet valve to the water heater.
• Open a hot water faucet in your home to relieve pressure and allow air into the tank.
