Frequently Asked Questions - POC.G-5 KOSPEL

How to install the Kospel POC.G-5 water heater?

Fix the appliance to the wall vertically using ∅8 dowels spaced 140 mm apart. The hydraulic connections must face downwards. Connect the cold water inlet to the marked inlet and the hot water outlet to the outlet pipe. A safety valve (set at 6 bars) must be installed on the cold water inlet.

What is the maximum water pressure supported?

The nominal pressure is 0.6 MPa (6 bars). If the mains pressure exceeds this value, install a pressure reducer before the safety valve.

How to adjust the water temperature?

Turn the regulator knob on the casing. The leftmost position corresponds to shutdown (~7°C). Turning to the right increases the temperature up to about 70°C (position 'III' or circle). The heating indicator light turns on when the appliance is heating.

What to do if the appliance does not heat and the indicator light does not come on?

First check the fuses of the electrical installation. If the fuses are good, the temperature regulator may be defective. Contact the after-sales service to have it replaced.

Why does water flow out of the safety valve?

This is normal. During heating, water expands and excess pressure is released through the valve. Never block this opening.

How to drain the water heater in case of risk of freezing?

For the POC.G model mounted above the sink: remove the cold water inlet pipe between the water heater and the tap, then open the hot water tap. For the POC.D model mounted under the sink: unscrew the flexible connections, unhook and rotate the appliance 180° to empty it completely.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, it is prohibited to use an extension cord. Plug the water heater directly into a grounded outlet.

How to maintain the safety valve?

Regularly check its proper operation by manually activating the lever. Ensure it is not blocked and that the discharge pipe slopes downwards continuously and is frost-free.

What are the dimensions and weight of the appliance?

Dimensions: 427 x 285 x 163 mm (H x W x D). Empty weight: 4.4 kg.

What to do in case of breakdown or damaged power cord?

Do not open the housing. Replacement of the cord or other parts (heating element, thermostat, thermal fuse) must be carried out by your retailer, their after-sales service, or a qualified person.

1. Read and strictly follow the installation and operating instructions to ensure a long life and reliable heater operation.
2. Heater installation and all electrical and hydraulic work must be performed by a qualified professional installer.
3. The heater must be mounted on the wall in vertical position. Water connections must be located accordingly to the heater's version according to the drawing on page 20. Installation and use of the heater in opposite position causes permanent damage of appliance and void the warranty.
4. The heater can only be used when in perfect technical condition and correctly installed.
5. Do not connect the heater to the electric mains before the inner tank is completely filled up with the water.
6. The heater should always be vented before initial start-up. Vent the heater each time after the water has been emptied from the heater or pipes (e.g. when water supply system has been repaired or maintained). See "Venting" section.
7. Heater's cover must not be taken off while power is on.
8. The heater must be connected to a plug-in socket with the safety pin.
9. Do not use an extension cord to connect heater with the socket.
10. The device should not be installed in rooms where the temperature may fall below 0^ C
11. Appropriate precaution must be taken using hot water. The temperature of water over 40^ C may cause hot feeling (as well as pipes and taps) what can be dangerous for children.
12. POC.G or POC.D must be equipped with the safety valve provided by manufacturer.
13. POC.G or POC.D must be equipped with pressure reducing valve if the water pressure in the system exceeds 0,6MPa. The pressure reducing valve must be fitted between the cold water supply pipe and the safety valve.
14. Faucet of POC.G heater with additional battery set. POC.Gb (non-pressure heater) must not be clogged or equipped with any additional fittings. Water heated in the appliance increases its volume and starts leaking from the tap - it does not mean that there is a fault; it is a normal state and you can not prevent it!
15. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified person.

1. Mount the heater on the wall in vertical position according to two options given below:
   a) fix two (stretching) pins 8 into the wall with a 140 mm-distance between them,
2. screw the fixing screws in such a way that there will be no more than a 4 mm-slot between a wall and a screw head,
3. hang the heater on the fixed screws,
   b) fix the special hanger to the wall and hang the heater. In case of assembly of the POC.G with additional battery set. POC.Gb, a spacing between axes of fixing pins and the tap has to be kept.
4. According to figure bring the supply water to the point where the heater is to be mounted. In the heater:
   a) POC.G or POC.D connect cold water to the inlet fitting according to figure on page 20 and hot water outlet to the outlet fitting. On the cold water inlet supply pipe a mandatory safety valve [6] has to be installed with a rated pressure of 0,6 MPa.
   b) POC.Gb connect the heater to the tap (with metal tubes or flexible connectors (hoses) - placing gaskets on the nuts beforehand. The recommended distance between the axis of the tube and the wall is \~34mm.
5. The discharge pipe, connected to the safety device against excessive pressure should be installed in an environment that is free from frost, and should be directed to down.
6. After connecting the heater to hydraulic system, open the hot water tap (red colour) and wait until the inner tank is filled with water (when water starts running from the tap).
7. Check connections for their tightness.

POC.G and POC.D as a pressure appliances are designed to work on the system with water pressure not exceeding 0,6MPa. If the water pressure in the system exceeds 0,6MPa, a pressure reducing valve has to be fitted before the safety valve on the cold water supply pipe. An occasional leak may appear from the safety valve - it does not mean that there is a fault; it is a normal state of the appliance. You must not block the pipe as it might cause a malfunction. Safety valve as well as the outlet pipe can not be installed in a room with temperatures below zero. Between the heater and the safety valve no cut-off valve can be placed.

The POC.G heater must be mounted with connections to down

Electrical connection

The heater can be supplied with alternating voltage of 230V\~. A cord with a plug should be connected to a plug-in socket with a safety pin. Electrical system should fulfil IEC-60364 standards.

Important! Do not connect the heater to the electric mains before the inner tank is completely filled up with the water.

1. Take the plug out of the socket.
2. Open the hot water tap and wait until it flows from a tap.
3. Set the temperature regulation knob at desired position.
4. Put the plug into a socket.

On the front part of the heater casing there is a knob intended for temperature setting. The knob set as on the figure (anticlockwise) indicates the 'switch off' position. Water temperature setting should be chosen smoothly from „ ^♂ (\~7 ^ C) position to „ ^○○○ ” or „ ^III ”(\~70 ^ C). When the diode (indicating 'heating') is on, it means water is being heated.

If the appliance is mounted in a place where temperature drops below 0^ C, you should totally empty the heater out of water:

• over-the-sink version (POC.G) - dismount connecting tube from the inlet fitting (cold water); open the hot water tap,
• under-the-sink version (POC.D) - unscrew flexible connectors (hoses) from the inlet and outlet fittings (hot and cold water), remove the heater from the wall (hooks) and turn it 180° round.

Safety valve must regularly opened in order to remove deposit and ensure it is not blocked.
