www.timberk.com • electrical storage water heater

NOTE:

The water heater is the appliance operating in such a manner that pressure of water in the water heater corresponds to the pressure of water in the water main. If pressure in the water main exceeds 0.7 MPa then it is necessary to install a pressure reducer before the water heater so that pressure will not exceed 0.7 MPa.

2. To connect the water heater to the water main apply pipes with diameter of G1/2.

3. To prevent water leakage when connecting pipes use rubber sealing gaskets on the threaded pipe ends.

4. Screw the safety pressure valve onto the inlet nozzle marked with blue colour and an arrow pointed water flow direction so that the water flow direction coincides with direction of the arrow on the valve case.

NOTE:

Do not install additional accessories, such as a cutoff valve, between the safety pressure valve and inlet nozzle.

5. Water heater with the mounted valve must be connected to the water main – install a shut-off valve at the water inlet point. You need to connect a drain pipe to the opening of the pressure relief of safety valve. Next you should put a drain pipe to the sewer.

6. Connect a desired number of consumption points to the outlet nozzle marked with red colour.

7. Check leak tightness of joints: open the cut-off valve and one of the outlet valves. After the tank is filled with water, as evidenced by outflow of water from the outlet valve, turn off the outlet valve and check leak tightness of all the joints.

IMPORTANT!

If water in the location of installation contains a large amount of calcium, manganese or ferric salts it is necessary to mount an appropriate filter in the supply system to reduce the amount of boiler scale in the tank and on the heating element.

Connection to the electrical main

IMPORTANT!

Prior to connecting the tank water heater make sure that the water heater is properly grounded. Proper grounding is important to minimize electric shocks and risk of fire. The power cord is equipped with a plug with a grounding pin. The appliance must be used with a properly grounded power outlet. If the outlet you intend to use is not properly grounded or grounded by a time-delay fuse or a circuit breaker address to a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet.

1. The water heater is designed to be connected to ~220V single-phase electrical main. Prior to connecting make sure that parameters of the electrical main in the point of connection correspond to the parameters specified on the identification plate with technical characteristics of the appliance. You should observe the current electrical safety code when installing the water heater.

2. Power outlet must be designed for rated current of 10A at least; copperconductor power cord must be at least 3x1.5 mm copper). The power outlet and the plug must always remain dry to prevent current leakage. Check regularly if the power plug is tightly connected to the outlet. Do it in the following order: insert the power plug into the outlet; in half an hour switch off the water heater and unplug the cord; check by your hand if the plug is heated. If the plug is heated over 50°C replace the outlet with a new one to prevent damages, accidents and fire due to bad electrical contact. A specialist must do this.

9. WATER HEATER CONTROL

1. At first, open one of the outlet valves on the outlet of the water heater; then open the inlet valve. The electric water heater will start filling in with water. When water flows from the outlet valve freely it means that the water heater is fully filled with water, and you can close the outlet valve.

Warning: During normal operation the inlet valve must be set open.

2. Plug the power cord into the outlet, after this the handle light will be on.

IMPORTANT!

Power outlet must be designed for rated current of 10A at least; copper-conductor power cord must be at least 3x1.5 mm2 in cross-section (for copper).

3. Set the desired temperature of water by the temperature controller handle by rotating the handle; “HEATING” indicator lamp (fig. 8) will flash on. When water reaches the preset temperature “HEATING” indicator lamp will go out. When water temperature drops to a certain level heating will be switched on automatically and restore the required water temperature.

4. After rotating the handle to the position «MIN» the minimum temperature +30°C (± 5°C) would be seted. After puting the handle in to position «MAX», the maximum temperature would be set +70°C (± 5°C).

5. There is a “COMFORT” sign on the panel. It signifies optimal temperature of heating. Fixing the temperature controller handle in position “COMFORT” you choose the most efficient mode of electricity consumption.

6. To turn off the water heater set the switch handle to position « » and unplug the power cord.

IMPORTANT!

Water can drip from the pressure safety valve upon heating. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID DRIPPING AND IT IS FORBIDDEN TO PREVENT IT BECAUSE IT CAN RESULT IN TANK RUPTURE (IN THE CASE OF EQUIPMENT FAILURE). Working ability of the pressure safety valve should be inspected every 14 days. The inspection method is described in the section 9 (MAINTENANCE).

10. MAINTENANCE

1. Check the power plug and outlet as often as possible. Secure electrical contact and proper grounding must be granted. The plug and outlet must not heat excessively.

2. If the water heater is not used for a long time, especially in regions with

www.timberk.com • electrical storage water heater

low air temperature (below 0°C), it is necessary to drain the water heater to prevent damage of the appliance (due to water freezing in the inner tank). To do so it is necessary to:

- disconnect the water heater from the electrical main;

- turn the water off by the cut-off valve;

- open the hot water tap and drain the system.

3. To ensure long-term reliable operation of the water heater it is recommended to clean the inner tank regularly and remove deposits from the electric heating elements of the appliance as well as check condition (fully decomposed or not) of the magnesium anode and, if necessary, replace it with a new one in case of full decomposition.

Frequency of tank cleaning depends upon hardness of water available in a given territory. Cleaning must be performed by special maintenance services. You can ask the seller for the address of the nearest service centre or find it on the website www.timberk.com.

IMPORTANT!
