User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX EWH-100SL

[. . . ] a) The safety valve - supplied with the heater- MUST be installed on the cold water input (see right side) - Before connecting the safety valve with the heater, the connecting pipe must be rinsed carefully. - The draining pipe and the safety valve must be left open to the air and be installed in a continuous downward slope. The units of the series R, eco R and SL are supplied with a safety valve that lets the expanding water flow back into the cold-water feed. [. . . ] PROHIBITED VOLUME. - It is the volume limited by the tangential and vertical planes with respect to the outer edges of bathtub, toilet pan or shower enclosure and by a plane situated 2, 25 m above the same or the floor, should the units be embedded in the same. PROTECTION VOLUME. - It is the volume situated within the horizontal planes previously stated for the prohibited volume plus another two vertical ones 1, 00 meters away from those of the said volume. No switches, power sockets or lighting equipment must be installed within the PROHIBITED volume. Do not install switches within the PROTECTION volume; this does not apply, however, to safety power sockets. If possible the heater must be installed outside the PROHIBITED VOLUME so as to prevent water splashing against the unit. Power must be supplied via a multi-polar switch, circuit breaker or contactor. Adequate power rating fuses shall be made available for unit protection purposes. All electrical installations shall incorporate an earthing connection. The plug used by the heater already has this connection and only has to be inserted in a mains socket of the same features. Make sure the household or place of installation does have an earth line. If not available, a differential switch is recommendable. The electric connection must be made with a power cable Type H05VVF 3x1, 5 (Serie eco-R/RN). OPERATION Filling up. Open the shutoff cock as soon as the heater has been installed. Water appears as soon as the unit fills up completely. Close the laps and check the system for leaks. Do not connect the heater to the power mains if uncertain as to whether it is foll or not. Plug into the mains and press the main power input switch. A light flashes when the heating element is activated (on some models). The thermostat re-connects the heating element after a certain amount of water has been used. [. . . ] The customer is advised to contact the AFTER SALES SERVICE to check the magnesium bar once the guarantee has expired. Although this particular operation is not covered by the guarantee, as it does not imply «unit servicing», it does allow the wear rate of the bar to be monitored and to establish how soon it should be changed. Moreover, indefinite heater duration can be guaranteed. Any overheating caused by thermostat failures is offset by the safety limiting device cutting both stages off and leaving the heater without power input. [. . . ]
