Assembly of the knob
The regulators and taps sent for After Sales Support
are ADJUSTED and TESTED to function correctly.
Don’t modify the adjustment before assembly.
Preparation of the regulator holder
Cut the three external pins coming from the moulding.
Lay down a lm of silicone paste on the contact surface
between the knob and the holder.
Assembly instructions
Put the knob (68) and the elastic washer (69) into the knob
holder of the regulator in such a way that the stop of the
knob is as close as possible to the stop of the knob holder
(on the left). Do not turn the axis of the regulator. The knob
should be able to turn in a clockwise direction (thus open-
ing the regulator).
Turn the knob anticlockwise (0o-15o) to join the 2 stops. The
regulator is now at minimum position.

Procedure in case of heating problem
Switch the power ON and verify (by hand) the increase of
temperature of the water heater (30). If the heater stays cold,
use the following procedure to identify if the problem is due
or not to the thermostats.
Shunt (A) the thermostat 47oC (29) and control the increase
of temperature of the heater.
If the heater starts to be warm, it means that the
thermostat 47oC is out of order and it must be re placed by a new one (see page 21).
If no increase of temperatue appears, try to rearm
the thermostat 60oC (28) by pushing the pin down.
In case of the pin stays up, it means that the
rearmament system is out of order and the ther mostat 60oC must be replaced by a new one (see
page 21).
In case of the pin stays down (good rearmament),
and if the heater doesn’t work, shunt the thermos-
tats 47oC (A) and 60oC (B) at the same time.
At this step, if no heating is produced, control the electrical
supply of the water heater (see page 9).
