3. Plumbing Connections
- Connect the cold water inlet (marked 'E' or blue) to the main cold water supply using a G 1/2" connection.
- Install the supplied safety valve on the cold water inlet. This valve is mandatory and must not be obstructed.
- Connect the hot water outlet (marked 'U' or red) to the domestic hot water system using a G 1/2" connection.
- Open the hot water tap in your home to allow air to escape while the tank fills.
- Once water flows steadily from the hot water tap, close the tap. Check all connections for leaks.
4. Electrical Connection
- Ensure the main power supply is switched off before making any electrical connections.
- Connect the water heater to a dedicated 230V, 50Hz electrical circuit with appropriate overcurrent protection (e.g., a circuit breaker).
- Ensure proper grounding of the appliance.
- The electrical connection must comply with all local electrical codes.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your water heater. Always disconnect power before performing maintenance.
1. Descaling
- Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) can accumulate inside the tank and on the heating element, reducing efficiency.
- Descaling should be performed by a qualified technician, typically every 1-2 years, depending on water hardness.
2. Anode Rod Inspection/Replacement
- The anode rod protects the tank from corrosion. It depletes over time.
- Inspect the anode rod annually and replace it if significantly corroded. This task should be performed by a qualified technician.
3. Safety Valve Check
- Periodically check the safety valve by lifting its lever to ensure it operates freely and discharges water. This helps prevent mineral buildup.
- Follow the safety valve manufacturer's instructions for proper testing.
4. External Cleaning
- Clean the exterior of the water heater with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
