!11 For this very reason, we recommend you connect this drain, leaving it always open, to a drain pipe installed inclined continuously downwards and in a place without condensation. Should the mains supply pressure be close to the maximum pressure value indicated on the data plate, then a pressure reducing valve should be fitted as far away from the appliance as possible. Should you decide to install the mixer assemblies (taps and fittings or shower), make sure the piping is cleared of any impurities that could cause damage. Electrical connection The appliance must be connected to the mains electricity supply by means of a differential bipolar thermo-magnetic switch (30 mA) complying with the CEI-EN regulations in force (contact break of at least 3 mm, even better if they are provided with fuses), or by means of a plug. Whenever the appliance needs to be disconnected from the mains electricity supply, then use this switch to do so. The appliance is equipped with a H05VV-F cable with a 3x1,5mm cross-section, 8.5mm in diameter. The yellow-green earth wire must be slightly longer than the phase wires. Before putting the appliance into operation, check that the mains voltage conforms to the value on the appliance's data plate. Putting into operation and testing Before connecting the appliance to the electricity supply, fill the boiler up with water from the mains supply. To do this, allow water to enter the appliance by opening the main tap of your home system while at the same time turning a hot water tap on until water comes out from it. Check to see whether there are any water leaks from the flange (F fig.11). If there are any, then tighten in moderation the corresponding fixing nuts (C fig. 10). Turn the appliance on by pressing the switch. Maintenance instructions A qualified professional must perform all maintenance and servicing operations. Before calling on our Technical Assistance for a suspected failure, make sure that the malfunction is not due to other causes such as, for example, the temporary lack of water or of electricity. The replacement of any spare parts Disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply. Remove the cap to have access to the electrical parts (fig. 8). To act on the thermostat and power PCB (fig. 9), disconnect them from the supply cable and remove them from their housing. For any servicing of the heating element and anode, first of all empty the appliance of its contents as follows: GBGB

wait for the water within it to cool down, close the main tap and let the water flow out of the appliance through the inlet pipe after having opened the drain tap as well as a hot water tap. Unscrew the 5 bolts (C fig.10) and remove the flange (F fig.11). The heating element and the anode are connected to the flange. When reassembling, make sure that the position of the flange gasket, of the thermostat and of the heating element are the original ones (fig. 10). After each removal, we advise you to replace the flange gasket (Z fig.12). Make sure you respect the polarity of the electrical connections as in (fig.10) and (fig.13). Periodical maintenance For a good and efficient output of your appliance, you should remove the limescale built up on the heating element (R fig.12) about every two years. This operation should be carried out on the dismounted heating element and, if you do not want to use purpose- made acids, this can be done by breaking up the calcareous incrustation, taking care not to damage the protective layer of the heating element. To guarantee the long life of your appliance, the magnesium anode (N fig.12) must be replaced every other year. To remove it, take out the heating element and unscrew it from the supporting bracket. Bipolar safety device In the event of abnormal overheating of the water, a thermal safety switch, complying with CEI-EN regulations, shuts off the electric circuit on both the phases supplying the heating element; in this case, call for Technical Assistance. Safety valve In those models equipped with a safety valve with a lever, the latter can be used, by lifting it up, to: - empty out the appliance, if necessary, - check on a regular basis (every month) that the valve is operating correctly. Handy tips Upon heating, you may hear some normal sounds within the water heater that are due to the heat exchange between the heating element and the water touching it. If hot water does not come out of the utilisation taps, check that the water and electricity connections have been carried out as specified in the corresponding paragraphs, or after having dismounted the thermostat, check the continuity of the phases between the terminals and the relative fastons. If this is not the case, the bipolar safety device could have come into operation (see the paragraph on periodical maintenance). For the water heater's galvanic protection system to function properly, the permanent hardness of the water should not be less than 12° French hardness degrees. During the normal functioning of the appliance, the water connections could become hot.13
