INSTALLATION

1. PRODUCT MOUNTING See “General Warnings” N°.1 to N°.6

For product installation, refer to drawings section 1 page.2 and page 3.

2. HYDRAULIC CONNECTION See “General Warnings” N°.11 to N°.16

For hydraulic connection, refer to drawings section 2 page 4.

- It is necessary to clean the supply piping prior to the hydraulic connection. The connection to the hot water

outlet is to be carried out with a cast iron or steel sleeve or a dielectric connector, to avoid corrosion of the
pipe (direct contact iron / copper). The use of brass fittings is prohibited.

- Always install a new safety device on the cold water pipe of the water heater, which comply with the

standards (EN 1487 in Europe), with a pressure of 0.7 or 0.9 MPa (7 or 9 bars) according to the nominal
pressure, with diameter 1/2".

- Do not use the safety valve included in this packaging in France (home country and French

overseas)

3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

For electrical connection, refer to drawings section 3 page 5.

- The water heater can be connected and operated only on AC 230V. Connect the heater with a rigid cable

with conductors 2,5mm ². Use a standardised channeling (rigid or flexible conduit) until the calibrated
housing cover.

- Directly connect devices with a cable or plug. In France, a product with plug is strictly prohibited and cannot

be sold and installed.

- Always connect the earth conductor of the cable to the earth ground wire or connect the earth conductor to

the appropriate terminal identified by the symbol . This connection is compulsory for safety reasons. The
earth wire green - yellow must be longer than those of phases. The installation must be equipped, upstream
of the appliance, with a bipolar cut-out device (minimum contact distance of 3 mm fuse, breaker switch). In
the case where hydraulic connexions are in insulated material, electrical circuits shall be protected by a
differential circuit breaker 30 mA adapted to local standards.

Thermal circuit breaker (see drawings section 3 page 5): All our products are equipped with a thermostat with

thermal circuit breaker and manual resetting which cuts off the power supply to the water heater in case of
overheating. If the safety trips:

 switch off the power before taking any further action,
 remove the cover,
 check the electrical connections,
 reset the thermal circuit breaker

If the circuit breaker keeps tripping, replace the thermostat. Never short circuit the safety cut out or the
thermostat. Connect the power supply only via the terminal.

SETUP & OPERATION

- NEVER POWER THE WATER HEATER WITHOUT WATER: Models with an electric heating element will

be certainly damaged.

- Fill the tank completely. Before powering up, open the hot water taps, drain the pipes in order to empty the

air.

- Check the tightness of the tubes and of the flange seal under the plastic cover. In case of leaking tighten

moderately. Check the operating of the hydraulic components and of the safety valve.

- Turn the power on. After 15 to 30 minutes, depending of the capacity of the device, the water should drip from

the drain. This is normal and due to the expansion of water. Check connection leaks and seal. During heating
and according to the water quality, hot water tanks can make a bubbling noise. This noise is normal and does
not indicate any defect of the unit.

The water heater features a digital screen that allows choosing the running mode
(see. drawing section 4 page 5).

1/ Mode selection knob (Ref. A): Enables to choose the running mode.
2/ Operating modes:

FROST FREE Mode (Ref. B): Automatic regulation at frost-free temperature (7°C), in order to reduce

the electric consumption during the periods of absence of the user.

MANUAL Mode (Ref. C): User selects a hot water quantity (temperature between 50°C and 70°)).

Warning: this operating mode might increase the electrical consumption of the product.*

SMART Mode (Ref. D): Fully automatic operation of the water heater: after a learning period, the

product will adjust automatically the hot water temperature adapted to the user consumption. This allows
lowering of the electrical consumption.

BOOST Mode (Ref. E): Soft touch button to activate fast heating of the appliance. The BOOST mode is

automatically deactivated when full hot water is available.

Warning: no BOOST on FLAT 30

3/ Shower display (Ref. F):

Display of the quantity of hot water available. When a shower symbol is blinking, this means that a shower
is under production (heating in progress).

4/ Power indicator (Ref. G): This light appears when the water- heater is connected to power supply.

electric shock.

1. USER MAINTENANCE

Operates once a month the discharge of the safety valve to prevent scaling deposit and verify that the
safety device is not blocked. If this is not done, damage may be caused and the guarantee invalidated. For an

installation with a booster pump; before starting up, after a long period of disuse, turn the rotor following the
advice in the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. MAINTENANCE BY A QUALIFIED PERSON

- Scaling: Remove the scale sludge. Do not scrape or hammer the lime scale deposited on the casing, as this

may damage the lining.

- Magnesium anode: change the magnesium anode every 2 years or when its diameter is lower than 10 mm.

- Heating element: the replacement of a sheathed heating element involves draining of the water heater and

replacement of the flange gasket. Reassemble the heating element, reasonably tight nuts (cross tightening),
check that there is no leakage after the first heating-up, tighten again if necessary

- Drain: Turn off power and cold water supply. Open hot water taps and drain valve of the safety device.
