Professional installation is highly recommended for safety and optimal performance.
4.1 Before Installation
- Unpack the water heater and inspect it for any shipping damage.
- Ensure the installation location has adequate wall support for the unit's weight when full (approx. 92 kg).
- Verify that the electrical supply is compatible with the water heater's requirements.
- Ensure proper drainage is available for the pressure relief valve discharge.
4.2 Mounting the Water Heater
- Mark the drilling points on the wall according to the mounting bracket dimensions.
- Drill holes and insert appropriate wall anchors suitable for the wall material and weight.
- Securely attach the mounting bracket to the wall.
- Carefully lift and hang the water heater onto the bracket, ensuring it is level and stable.
4.3 Plumbing Connections
- Connect the cold water inlet to the designated inlet pipe on the water heater (usually marked blue).
- Connect the hot water outlet to the household hot water supply (usually marked red).
- Install the pressure relief valve (PRV) into the designated opening. Ensure the discharge pipe from the PRV is directed to a suitable drain.
- Open the main water supply and fill the tank. Open a hot water faucet in your home to allow air to escape until water flows steadily.
- Check all connections for leaks.
4.4 Electrical Connection
- Ensure the power supply is OFF at the circuit breaker before making any electrical connections.
- Connect the water heater to a dedicated, properly grounded electrical circuit as per local regulations.
- Verify all electrical connections are tight and secure.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Initial Startup
- Ensure the water heater tank is completely filled with water (refer to Plumbing Connections).
- Turn on the electrical power supply to the water heater at the circuit breaker.
- The digital display will illuminate, showing the current water temperature.
5.2 Temperature Adjustment
- Use the control buttons on the digital display panel to increase or decrease the desired water temperature.
- The display will show the set temperature, then revert to showing the actual water temperature as it heats.
- Allow sufficient time for the water to reach the set temperature, especially during initial startup or after prolonged periods of inactivity.
5.3 Daily Use
The water heater will automatically maintain the set temperature. Hot water will be available as needed. For energy saving, consider setting the temperature to a comfortable level (e.g., 45-55°C) rather than the maximum.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your water heater.
6.1 Regular Cleaning
- Wipe the exterior of the water heater with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure the area around the water heater is kept clear of dust and debris to allow for proper ventilation.
6.2 Anode Rod Inspection (Recommended Annually)
The anode rod protects the tank from corrosion. It should be inspected and replaced by a qualified technician at least once a year, or more frequently in areas with hard water.
6.3 Draining the Tank (Recommended Annually)
Draining the tank helps remove sediment buildup, which can affect efficiency and tank life. This procedure should be performed by a qualified technician.
- 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.
- Connect a hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the water heater and direct it to a suitable drain.
- Open the drain valve and allow the tank to empty completely.
- Once drained, close the drain valve, disconnect the hose, and refill the tank before restoring power.
