Legionella is a small bacterium, of stick-like form, and is found naturally in fresh water. Legionnaire's disease is a serious pulmonary infection caused by inhalation of the Legionella pneumophilia bacterium and other species of Legionella. The bacterium is frequently to be found in the plumbing of houses, hotels and water used in A/C and air cooling systems. The most effective measure against infection is to prevent the bacterium proliferating in water circuits. European standard CEN/TR 16355 provides guidelines for preventing the proliferation of Legionella in drinking water systems, without substituting applicable local legislation. General recommendations “Conditions favourable to the proliferation of Legionella”. The following conditions are favourable to the proliferation of Legionella: ‡ :DWHUWHPSHUDWXUHinWKHUDQJH25-50°C.ToUHGXFHWKHSUROLIHUDWLRQRI/HJLRQHOODWKHZDWHUWHPSHUDWXUHEH kept with these limits to prevent them growing or reduce their growth to a minimum.

However, the thermal disinfection cycle does not kill all Legionella bacteria in the storage tank. It follows that if the water temperature setting is less than 55°C, the Legionella bacterium infection may reoccur. Caution: the water temperature in the tank can cause immediate serious burns. Children, disabled persons and the aged are particularly at risk of burns. Check the water temperature before taking a bath or shower.

1. Introduction to the product

1.1. Regulations relating to transportation, storage and recycling

1. The appliance must be transported in

accordance with the pictograms printed on the packaging.

2. The appliance must be transported and stored

in dry conditions where it will not be subjected to freezing.

3. The EU Directive 2012/19/UE sets out the

obligation to perform separated waste collection and to recycle all electrical and electronic equipment. The “crossed-out dustbin” symbol on the appliance indicates that when the product is no longer in good working condition, it should not be disposed of in the same manner as normal household waste. Instead, it should be taken to a separated waste collection centre which deals with electrical and electronic equipment or reclaimed by the distributor when a new appliance has been purchased to replace it. Separated waste collection, which ensures the appliance is recycled once it has reached the end of its life cycle, helps to avoid any negative effects on the environment and encourages the recycling of the individual materials used to manufacture the appliance. To ÀQG out more about existing waste collection centres, please contact the waste collection service in your local area, or the shop from which the appliance was originally purchased.

4. The packaging protects the water heater

from any damage which may occur during transportation. We use materials which have been VSHFLÀFDOO\ selected in order to help protect the environment. We invite you to take these materials to the nearest recycling centre or the nearest recyclable materials collection point. 1.2.

The boiler protection anode is controlled by an electronic device powered at the network current or using a battery designed for systems operating in day/night mode, in order to keep the boiler protected during the day. Correct operation of the protection system REQUIRES A PERMANENT POWER SUPPLY (network or batteries). The appliance cannot, in fact, be left without a power supply for more than 48 hours.

The boiler protection anode is controlled by an electronic device powered at the network current. In case of system operating in day/night mode, during the night the protection is guaranteed by the PROfessional TECH anode, while during the day the protection is guaranteed by the magnesium anode. ATTENTION: The anti-corrosion system cannot stay without power supply more than 1 week.

CAUTION: The batteries do not have an indefinite lifespan: it makes good sense to replace them once they have been used for one or two years. In order to guarantee full boiler protection, any faulty batteries must be replaced. If the batteries are not replaced, the guarantee will become void.

HEATING ON 1.1. User considerations

1. The installation of the water heater is the

responsibility of the purchaser.

2. This appliance is not intended for use by

persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lak of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

3. The end user is responsible for recycling the

appliance once it can no longer be used. For further information, please consult the introduction of this booklet 1.1. – Regulations relating to transportation, storage and recycling. Picture 15- PTEC

2.1. Temperature adjustment We recommend the thermostat is not set to its maximum position, in order to avoid limescale build-up and prevent burns. It is nevertheless essential to ÀQG a suitable compromise so as to avoid bacterial proliferation while trying to prevent the water heater from experiencing unnecessary limescale build-up. On the other hand, in order to prevent burns, a suitable mixer should be used so that the temperature does not exceed 50°C at any of the drawing points. This is a compulsory regulation in France. When using a mixer at a drawing point, we recommend that the temperature is set to approximately 60ºC. 2.2. Maintenance Empty the appliance annually (twice a year if the water has been treated with a softening agent) in order to:

Empty the appliance annually (twice a year if the water has been treated with a softening agent) in order to:

Titane ON Titane ON 1.2. Build-up removal – Checking the anode Empty the appliance (see above). Remove the protection element and unscrew the base (some residual water may leak out). Clean the boiler: without using metal objects or chemical agents, remove any build-up on electrical elements or on the bush (steatite), on the corresponding casing and on the base of the boiler. If a magnesium anode is used, check its condition: the magnesium anode is consumed progressively in accordance with the water quality, in order to prevent corrosion of the boiler. If the diameter is smaller than 15 mm (for the armoured range) / 10 mm (for the steatite range), or if the total volume is lower than 50% of the initial volume, the anode should be replaced. Use a new seal every time the base is replaced after being removed. When screwing in the bolts again, use a “crosstightening” technique. The tightening torque should be between 18 and 20 Nm.

In case of installation with night-time power supply only, in order to guarantee the boiler protection, AT LEAST ONCE PER YEAR check regularly the functioning of the Protection light, forcing the electrical connection in manual mode ON.

Replacing or resetting the thermostat If the thermostat is deactivated, reset it and establish the cause (short-circuit, faulty thermostat, etc.). CAUTION: Every thermostat is designed to be reset a maximum of two or three times only!

Replacing the electronic circuit

Replace the battery. PROfessional TECH PTEC steatite range Before performing any work, make sure you have isolated the appliance from the electricity supply network. The replacement of the electronic circuit is a very simple process. After removing the plastic protection: Disconnect the storage cell SUHVVÀW connector on the storage cell). Disconnect the 2 wires running from the electronic circuit to the power supply terminal board. Disconnect the fast coupling connector with the false movement protection device which links the circuit to the boiler and the electrode. Disconnect the electronic circuit from the support (plastic material clips on the corners). Replace the faulty circuit with a new one. Repeat the procedure described above in the reverse order. Replacing the heating element Check the Ohmic value of the heating element and, if necessary, replace it. A null or an LQÀQLWH value indicates that the heating element must be replaced. PROfessional TECH steatite range - HPC The storage cell is replaced by disconnecting the SUHVVÀW connector and replacing the old storage cell with a new rechargeable one, Ni-Mh 9 volt 150 mAh minimum. Armoured range The appliance must be emptied before the armoured heating element may be replaced. Steatite range – PROfessional TECH steatite range It is not necessary to empty the appliance before replacing the heating element. During a Technical Assistance procedure for a steatite water heater, it is absolutely necessary to replace the plastic separator between the thermostat and the heating element in the water heater as this guarantees the correct operation of the appliance.
