Procedure of putting the heater into operation:
1. Check both water and electric installation; for combined heaters, check also the installation to
the hot water heating system. Check proper placement of thermostat sensors. The sensors
must be inserted all the way in; first the thermostat and then the safety fuse.
2. Open the hot water valve on the combination faucet.
3. Open the cold water inlet valve to the heater.
4. As soon as the water starts running through the hot water valve, the heater is filled and the valve
can be closed.
5. In case of leakage (of flange lid), we recommend that the flange lid bolts are fastened.
6. Screw down the electric installation guard.
7. When heating service water with electric energy from the hot water heating system, open the
heating water inlet and outlet valves, possibly de-aerate the heat exchanger.
8. When commencing operation, flush the heater until the cloudiness in the water is gone.
9. Make sure to fill in properly the warranty certificate.
2.7 PUTTING OUT OF SERVICE, DISCHARGE
If the hot water heater is put out of service for a longer time, or if it is not going to be used it
has to be drained and disconnected from the electric supply network on all poles. The switch
for the supply lead or the fuse cut-outs have to be shut off.
At places with permanent risk of frost the hot water heater must be drained before the cold
season starts if the appliance remains out of service for several days and if the power supply
is disconnected.
Drainage of utility water shall be performed after closing the shut-off valve in the cold water
supply piping (through the discharge valve for safety valve combination), and with
simultaneous opening of all hot water valves of connected fittings. Hot water may outflow
during the drainage! If there is a risk of frost it has to be considered that not only the water
in the hot water heater and in the hot water piping may get frozen but also the water in the
entire cold water supply piping. It is therefore advisable to drain all fittings and piping that
carry water, up to the part where the house water meter is installed (connection of the
house to water main) which is not jeopardised by frost. When the tank is to be used again, it
has to be filled with water and one needs to make sure that the water flowing out at the
hot water valves did not contain any bubbles.
