Installation Requirements
Venting
Proper venting is crucial for safe operation. The unit requires a Category III stainless steel vent system. Refer to the specific venting requirements outlined in the detailed installation guide for correct pipe diameter, length, and slope.
Gas Supply
Connect the unit to a standard propane gas tank using an approved regulator and flexible gas line. Ensure the gas pressure meets the specifications detailed in the technical data section.
Water Connections
Connect the cold water inlet and hot water outlet to your plumbing system using approved pipe and fittings. Ensure all connections are watertight.
Electrical Connections
The unit requires a standard electrical connection for its control system. Follow the wiring diagram provided in the manual for correct connections.
Operation
Once installed, the unit operates on-demand. When a hot water tap is opened, the heater ignites and heats water as it flows through. Turning off the tap stops the heating process.
Temperature Control
The temperature can be adjusted using the control panel on the unit. Select your desired hot water temperature.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity. This includes descaling the heat exchanger and checking the venting system.
- Descaling: Periodically descale the heat exchanger to remove mineral buildup, especially in areas with hard water. Follow the descaling procedure outlined in the manual.
- Vent Inspection: Regularly inspect the vent pipe for obstructions, corrosion, or damage.
- Gas Connections: Check gas connections for leaks using a soap solution.
