4.3. Sanitäranschlüsse

Connect the cold water inlet to the water heater's inlet port (usually marked blue or with a 'C'). Connect the hot water outlet to the hot water supply line (usually marked red or with an 'H'). Install the pressure relief valve on the designated port and route its discharge line to an open drain, ensuring it is not blocked or capped.

4.4. Filling the Water Heater

Before connecting power, open a hot water faucet in your sink to allow air to escape. Then, slowly open the cold water supply valve to the water heater. Once water flows steadily from the hot water faucet, the tank is full. Close the hot water faucet.

4.5. Elektrische Anschlüsse

Connect the water heater to a dedicated, properly grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the circuit breaker is rated appropriately for the appliance's wattage (1200W). Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about electrical connections.

5. Bedienungsanleitung

5.1. Einschalten

After ensuring the tank is full of water and all connections are secure, switch on the power supply to the water heater at the circuit breaker or wall switch. The indicator light (if present) will illuminate, signifying that the unit is heating.

5.2. Temperatureinstellung

The ALTech 3100452 typically features a thermostat control knob, usually located on the front or bottom of the unit. Rotate the knob to adjust the desired water temperature. For energy efficiency and safety, it is recommended to set the temperature between 50°C and 60°C (120°F and 140°F).

5.3. Ausschalten

To turn off the water heater, switch off the power supply at the circuit breaker or wall switch. If the unit will be unused for an extended period, it is recommended to also turn off the cold water supply valve.

6. Wartung

Regelmäßige Wartung gewährleistet die Langlebigkeit und den effizienten Betrieb Ihres Warmwasserbereiters. Trennen Sie vor jeglichen Wartungsarbeiten immer die Stromzufuhr.

6.1. Draining the Water Heater

To drain the tank for maintenance or if there is a risk of freezing:

1. Schalten Sie die Stromversorgung des Warmwasserbereiters aus.
2. Turn off the cold water supply valve to the water heater.
3. Open a hot water faucet in your sink to relieve pressure and allow air into the tank.
4. Connect a hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the water heater and route it to a suitable drain.
5. Öffnen Sie das Ablassventil und lassen Sie den Tank vollständig entleeren.
6. Once drained, close the drain valve and hot water faucet.

6.2. Pressure Relief Valve Test

Test the pressure relief valve annually by lifting the lever. Water should discharge from the drain line. If no water discharges, or if the valve leaks continuously, it may need replacement. Consult a qualified technician.

6.3. Anode Rod Inspection/Replacement

The anode rod protects the tank from corrosion. It should be inspected every 1-3 years and replaced if significantly depleted. This procedure typically requires draining the tank and should be performed by a qualified technician.

6.4. Entkalken

In areas with hard water, mineral deposits (scale) can build up inside the tank and on the heating element, reducing efficiency. Descaling may be required periodically. This is a complex procedure best handled by a professional.
