1 Introduction
The Innovo water heater stores and heats water for sanitary purposes.
Cold water enters the bottom of the tank through the water inlet (1). The heated water
leaves the tank at the top through the hot water outlet (2). To operate the water heater,
the operator interface (3) and control switch (4) are used.

Caution
Do not store or use chemical substances in the room where the water heater is installed
because of the risk of explosion and corrosion of the water heater. Some propellants,
bleaching agents and degreasing agents etc. disperse of explosive vapors and/or cause
accelerated corrosion. If the water heater is used in a room where such substances are
stored or used, the warranty will be void.
Caution
Installation, maintenance and service may only by carried out by a qualified engineer.
Caution
The water heater is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capacities, or who lack the necessary experience or knowledge. When the person
responsible for their safety is supervising them or has explained to them how the water
heater should be used, these persons can use the water heater.
Caution
This water heater is not intended to be used by children. Always supervise children, and
make sure that they do not play with the water heater.
Note
Regular maintenance extends the service life of the water heater. To determine the
correct service interval, the service and maintenance engineer has to do a check on both
the water and gas side of the water heater three months after installation. Based on this
check, the best service interval can be determined.
