Setup and Installation
Installation of the water heater should only be carried out by a qualified technician. Incorrect installation can lead to hazards and void the warranty.
Pre-Installation Checks:
- Verify that the wall can support the weight of the water heater when full (approximately 37.7 kg for 25L model).
- Ensure adequate space for maintenance and ventilation.
- Confirm water supply pressure is within the 8 bar limit.
- Check electrical supply matches the appliance requirements (220 Volts, 2000 Watts).
Mounting:
The water heater is designed for wall mounting. Use the provided fasteners and follow the mounting template for secure installation.
Plumbing Connections:
- Connect the cold water inlet to the main water supply.
- Connect the hot water outlet to the household hot water distribution system.
- Install the Multi-Function Valve (MFV) as per instructions to ensure safety against excessive pressure and vacuum.
- Ensure all connections are watertight.
Electrical Connection:
- Connect the power cord to a dedicated, grounded electrical circuit.
- Do not power on the unit until the tank is completely filled with water.

Operating Instructions
Initial Start-up:
- Ensure all plumbing connections are secure and the tank is filled with water. Open a hot water faucet in your home to allow air to escape until water flows steadily.
- Plug the water heater into the grounded electrical outlet or turn on the dedicated circuit breaker.
- The LED display will illuminate, indicating power.
Temperature Adjustment:
Use the temperature control knob located on the front of the unit to set your desired water temperature. Turning the knob clockwise increases the temperature, while turning it counter-clockwise decreases it. Allow time for the water to heat up to the selected temperature.

Energy Efficiency:
The BEE 5-star rating indicates high energy efficiency. To maximize savings, set the temperature to the lowest comfortable level and avoid unnecessary reheating.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your water heater. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
- Drainage: Periodically drain the tank to remove sediment buildup. This is especially important in areas with hard water. Consult a qualified technician for this procedure.
- Anode Rod Inspection: The sacrificial anode rod protects the tank from corrosion. It should be inspected and replaced by a technician every 1-3 years, depending on water quality.
- Exterior Cleaning: Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Pressure Relief Valve: Manually operate the pressure relief valve (part of the MFV) at least once a year to ensure it is not obstructed. Follow manufacturer guidelines for this procedure.
