- Turn off Water Supply: Close the main water supply valve to the area where the water heater will be installed.
- Prepare Mounting Location: Ensure the chosen space is adequate for the water heater's dimensions. Mark the drilling points for the hangers.
- Install Hangers: Drill holes and securely fasten the mounting hangers to the wall.
- Mount Water Heater: Carefully hang the water heater onto the installed hangers.
- Connect Safety Valve: Install the dielectric sleeves. The safety valve requires Teflon tape on its thread. Then, install the safety valve to the cold water inlet. Remember to place a tube or hose on the small outlet of the safety valve; if a drain is not nearby, a bucket or jug is usually sufficient.
- Connect Water Hoses: Attach the flexible hoses to the respective hot and cold water connections of the water heater. If flexible hoses have swivel nuts, they usually have a gasket; if not, use Teflon tape.
- Fill the Tank and Purge Air: Open the main water supply valve to fill the water heater tank. Keep a hot water tap open in your home until a continuous stream of water without air comes out. This ensures all air has been purged from the circuit.
- Connect Power and Wi-Fi: Once the tank is completely filled with water, connect the water heater to the electrical supply and establish the Wi-Fi connection.
- Download App: Download the Ariston Net app from the App Store or Google Play to control and monitor your water heater.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your Ariston Velis Wifi water heater.
- Anode Inspection: The water heater features a double shielded anti-limescale resistance with two magnesium anodes (one for each tank). These anodes react with oxygen in the water to prevent corrosion of the boiler, ensuring greater durability. It is recommended to have these inspected periodically by a qualified technician.
- Safety Valve Check: The safety valve is designed to release pressure. It is normal for it to drip occasionally due to thermal expansion. If continuous dripping or a steady stream occurs, check your home's water pressure.
- ABS Safety Pack: The integrated ABS Safety Pack performs automatic self-diagnosis processes, including anti-scald, anti-freeze, dry-heating protection, and anti-legionella functions. Ensure these functions are active and operating correctly.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the water heater with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
