1WATER HEATER INSTALLA TION
1.1 INSTALLATION RECOMMENDA
TIONS.
e Julius water heater has been designed for wall
installation. It must be used for the production
of domestic hot water and similar purposes.
In the case of wall installation the wall surface
must be smooth, without any protrusions or
recesses enabling access to the rear part. ey
are not designed to be installed on plinths or
oors (Fig. 1-1).
e place of installation of the appliance and
relative Immergas accessories must have suitable
features (technical and structural) such to allow
(always in safety, efficiency and comfortable
conditions):
- installation (according to the provisions of the
technical legislation and technical regulations);
- maintenance operations (including scheduled,
periodic, routine and special maintenance);
- removal (to outdoors in the place for loading
and transporting the appliances and compo-
nents) as well as their eventual replacement
with appliances and/or equivalent components.
Only professionally enabled companies are
authorised to install Immergas gas appliances.
Installation must be carried out according to
regulation standards, current legislation and in
compliance with local technical regulations and
the required technical procedures.
Attention: the manufacturer declines all liability
for damages caused by boilers removed from
other systems or for any non-conformities of
such equipment.
Before installing the appliance, ensure that it is
delivered in perfect condition; if in doubt, contact
the supplier immediately. Packing materials (sta-
ples, nails, plastic bags, polystyrene foam, etc.)
constitute a hazard and must be kept out of the
reach of children.
If the appliance is installed inside or between
cabinets, ensure sucient space for normal ser-
vicing; therefore it is advisable to leave clearance
of at least 3 cm between the water heater casing
and the vertical sides of the cabinet. Leave ad-
equate space above the water heater for possible
water and ue removal connections.
Keep all ammable objects away from the ap-
pliance (paper, rags, plastic, polystyrene, etc.).
It is recommended not to position household
appliances under the water heater because they
could undergo damage in the case of leaks from
the hydraulic ttings. If this is not the case, the
manufacturer cannot be considered liable for
any damage caused to the household appliances.
For the aforementioned reasons, we recommend
not placing furnishings, furniture, etc. under
the water heater.
In the event of malfunctions, faults or incorrect
operation, turn the appliance o and contact an
authorised company (e.g. the Authorised Tech-
nical Assistance centre, which has specically
trained sta and original spare parts). Do not
attempt to modify or repair the appliance alone.
Failure to comply with the above implies personal
responsibility and invalidates the warranty.
• Installation regulations:
- installation of these water heaters in bed-
rooms, studio flats and bathrooms, or in
premises where there are wood red heaters
(or solid fuel heaters in general) and in prem-
ises next to or connected to them, is subject to
the regulatory/legislative provisions in force
in the country.
- Installation in places with a re risk is pro-
hibited (for example: garages, closed parking
stalls), potentially dangerous places, gas ap-
pliances, ue exhaust pipes and combustion
air intake pipes.
- Installation on the vertical projection of cook-
ing hobs is forbidden.
- Installation in the following places is pro-
hibited: places/environments that constitute
common parts of oce condominiums such
as internal stairs or other elements that are
part of the escape routes (e.g. ledges, entrance
halls), unless otherwise provided by local
regulations.
- Installation is also forbidden in places/rooms
that constitute common parts of apartment
buildings such as stairs, cellars, entrance halls,
attics, los, etc., unless otherwise provided by
local regulations.
Type B open chamber water heaters must not
be installed in places where commercial, artisan
or industrial activities take place, which use
products that may develop volatile vapours or
substances (e.g. acid vapours, glues, paints, sol-
vents, combustibles, etc.), as well as dusts (e.g.
dust deriving from the working of wood, coal
nes, cement, etc.). ese may be damaging for
the components of the appliance and jeopardise
functioning.
ey must also be installed in an environment
in which the temperature cannot fall below 0°C.
ey must not be exposed to atmospheric agents.
Attention: wall mounting of the water heater
must guarantee stable and ecient support for
the generator
e plugs (standard supply) are to be used only in
conjunction with the mounting brackets or xing
template to x the water heater to the wall; they
only ensure adequate support if inserted correctly
(according to technical standards) in walls made
of solid or semi-hollow brick or block. In the
case of walls made from hollow brick or block,
partitions with limited static properties, or in any
case walls other than those indicated, a static test
must be carried out to ensure adequate support.
N.B.: the hex head screws supplied in the blister
pack are to be used exclusively to x the relative
mounting bracket to the wall.
ese appliances are used to heat water to below
boiling temperature in atmospheric pressure.
ey must be connected to a DHW distribution
network suited to their performance and power.

Key:
AC - Domestic hot water outlet
AF - Domestic cold water inlet
G - Gas supply
1.3 GAS CONNECTION.
Our water heaters are designed to operate with
methane gas (G20) and LPG. Supply pipes must
be the same as or larger than the 3/4”G water
heater tting. Before connecting the gas line,
carefully clean inside all the fuel feed system
pipes to remove any residue that could impair
water heater eciency. Also make sure the gas
corresponds to that for which the water heater is
prepared (see water heater data-plate). If dier-
ent, the water heater must be converted for op-
eration with the other type of gas (see converting
appliance for other gas types). e dynamic gas
supply (methane or LPG) pressure must also be
checked according to the type used in the water
heater, which must comply with the technical
standards in force, as insufficient levels can
reduce generator output and cause malfunctions.
A type-approved and certied gas cut-o cock
must be inserted on the gas pipe before connec-
tion to the appliance.
Ensure correct gas cock connection. e gas sup-
ply pipe must be suitably dimensioned according
to current regulations in order to guarantee cor-
rect gas ow rate to the burner even in conditions
of maximum generator output and to guarantee
appliance eciency (technical specications).
e coupling system must conform to technical
standards in force.
Fuel gas quality. e appliance was designed
to operate with combustible gas free of impuri-
ties; otherwise it is advisable to t special lters
upstream of the appliance to restore the purity
of the fuel.
Storage tanks (in case of supply from LPG
depot).
- New LPG storage tanks may contain residual
inert gases (nitrogen) that degrade the mixture
delivered to the appliance casing functioning
anomalies.
- Due to the composition of the LPG mixture,
layering of the mixture components may occur
during the period of storage in the tanks. is
can cause a variation in the heating power of
the mixture delivered to the appliance, with
subsequent change in its performance.
1.4 HYDRAULIC CONNECTION.
Attention: before connecting the water heater
and so as not to make the warranty null and void
on the DHW heat exchanger, wash the system
thoroughly (piping, etc.) in a way to remove
any residue that could compromise the good
functioning of the water heater. Water connec-
tions must be made in a rational way following
the set-up of the water heater couplings on the.
Attention: to preserve the duration and the ef-
ciency features of the appliance, in the presence
of water whose features can lead to the deposit of
scale, installation of the “polyphosphate dispenser”
kit is recommended.
1.5 ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY.
is water heater is powered by direct current
via one or two 1.5 V “LR 20” alkaline batteries.
e use of one or two batteries varies function-
ing autonomy.
e batteries are housed in a relevant compart-
ment organised in the lower le area, near to the
hydraulic couplings (Fig. 1-3).
N.B.: e appliance is supplied by Immergas
with one battery placed horizontally on the bat-
tery compartment and therefore not connected.
In the ignition phase, it is therefore necessary to
connect it, setting it up in the correct position.
Attention: water heater pipes must never be used
to earth the electric or telephone lines. Ensure
that this does not occur before the batteries are
inserted.
1.6 VENTILATION OF THE ROOMS.
In the room in which the water heater is installed
it is necessary that at least as much air ows as
that requested for by normal combustion of the
gas and ventilation of the room. Natural air ow
must take place directly through:
- permanent openings in the walls of the room
to be ventilated that lead towards the outside;
- ventilation pipes, individual or branched type.
e air used for ventilation must be withdrawn
directly from outside, in an area away from
sources of pollution. Natural air flow is also
allowed indirectly by air intake from adjoining
rooms. For further information relative to venti-
lation of the rooms follow that envisioned in the
current technical regulation.
Evacuation of foul air. In the rooms where the
gas appliances are installed it may also be neces-
sary, as well as the intake of combustion agent air,
to evacuate foul air, with consequent intake of a
further equal amount of clean air. is must be
realised respecting the provisions of the technical
regulations in force.
1.7 FLUE DUCTS.
e gas appliances with attachment for the ue
gas discharge pipe must have direct connection
to chimneys or safely ecient ues. e combus-
tion products can be discharged directly outside
only if these are missing, as long as the current
technical regulations for the ue terminal are
respected as well as the existing laws.
Connection to chimneys or ues. e connec-
tion of the appliances to a chimney or ue takes
place by means of ue ducts.
In the event of ttings with pre-existing ues, these
must be perfectly clean because the detachment
of any waste from the walls during functioning,
could block the passage of ue gases, thus causing

7
1-4
INSTALLERUSERMAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN
extremely dangerous situations for the user.
e ue ducts must be connected to the chimney
or ue in the same room in which the appliance
is installed or, at most, in the adjoining room and
must comply with the requirements indicated
by the current technical regulations (Fig. 1-4).
1.8 FLUES/CHIMNEYS.
For the appliances with natural draught indi-
vidual chimneys and branched ues can be used.
Individual chimneys. e individual ues must
be dimensioned with respect to the standard
in force.
Branched ues. In buildings with lots of oors,
branched flues can be used for the natural
draught evacuation of combustion products. New
ues must be designed following the calculation
method and provisions of the regulation.
Chimney caps. e chimney cap is a device
positioned on the top of an individual chimney
or branched collective ue. is device promotes
the dispersion of combustion products, even in
adverse weather conditions, and prevents the
deposit of foreign bodies.
It must satisfy the requisites set forth in the rela-
tive regulation.
e outlet quota, corresponding to the top of the
chimney/ue, independently of any caps, must
be out of the “respect area”, in order to prevent
the formation of counter-pressures that impede
the free discharge of the combustion products
into the atmosphere. It is therefore necessary to
use the minimum heights indicated in the gures
stated in current technical regulations.
Direct exhaust outside. e natural draught
appliances, envisioned to be connected to a
chimney or a ue, can discharge the combus-
tion products directly to the outside, through
a pipe passing through the perimeter walls of
the building. In this case discharge takes place
through an ue duct, which is connected to a
draught terminal at the outside.
Positioning the draught terminals. e draught
terminals must:
- be installed on external perimeter walls of the
building;
- be positioned according to the minimum dis-
tances specied in current technical standards.
Combustion products exhaust of natural
draught or fan assisted appliances in open-top
closed environments. In spaces closed on all
sides with open tops (ventilation pits, courtyards
etc.), direct ue gas exhaust is allowed for natural
or forced draught gas appliances with a heating
power range from 4 to 35 kW, provided the
conditions as per the current technical standards
are respected.
Important: it is prohibited to put the fumes
exhaust control device out of order voluntarily.
Every piece of this device must be replaced using
original spare parts if they have deteriorated. In
the case of repeated interventions of the fumes
exhaust control device, check the fumes exhaust
ue and the ventilation of the room in which the
water heater is located.
1.9 GAS SYSTEM STARTUP.
To start up the system, refer to the technical
standard in force:
In particular, for new gas systems:
- open windows and doors;
- avoid presence of sparks or open ames;
- bleed all air from the pipelines;
- check that the internal system is properly sealed
according to the specications set forth by
technical regulations in force;
1.10 APPLIANCE STARTUP IGNITION.
To commission the water heater (the operations
listed below must only be performed by a quali-
ed rm and without any unauthorised persons):
- check that the internal system is properly sealed
according to the specications set forth by
technical regulations in force;
- ensure that the type of gas used corresponds to
water heater settings;
- Check that there are external factors that may
cause the formation of fuel pockets;
- switch the appliance on and check correct
ignition;
- make sure that the gas ow rate and relevant
pressure values comply with those given in the
manual (see par. 3.8);
- check the correct ventilation of the rooms;
- check the existing draught during normal
functioning of the appliance, e.g. a draught
gauge positioned at the exit of the appliance
combustion products;
- check that there is no backow of combustion
products into the room, even during function-
ing of fans;
- ensure that the chimney safety device inter-
venes in the event of gas supply failure and
check the relative intervention time;
e water heater must not be started up even if
only one of the checks should be negative.
1.11 KITS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.

2USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE.
e appliance must be serviced every year.
is ensures that the optimal safety, performance
and operating features that distinguish the appli-
ance remain unchanged over time.
2.2 VENTILATION OF THE ROOMS.
In the room in which the water heater is installed
it is necessary that at least as much air ows as
that requested for by normal combustion of the
gas and ventilation of the room. e provisions
relative to ventilation, the ue ducts, chimneys
and caps are stated in Paragraphs 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8.
If in doubt regarding correct ventilation, contact
an authorised company.
2.3 GENERAL WARNINGS.
Never expose the wall-mounted appliance to
direct vapours from a hob.
Use of the water heater by unskilled persons or
children is strictly prohibited.
Whenever temporary deactivation of the water
heater is decided, disconnect the batteries and
the water and gas supplies must be interrupted.
In the event of work or maintenance to structures
near ducting or ue extraction devices and their
accessories, switch o the appliance and on com-
pletion of the operations ensure an authorised
company veries the eciency of the ducting
or the devices.
Never clean the appliance or connected parts
with easily ammable substances.
Never leave containers or ammable substances
in the same environment as the appliance.
It is prohibited and dangerous to obstruct the
air intake, even partially, for the ventilation of
the room in which the water heater is installed.
Due to the danger, functioning is also prohibited
in the same room as suction devices or any other
device/appliance that can put the room into de-
pression at the same time as the water heater un-
less there are additional openings dimensioned
in a way to satisfy the further necessity for air.
For the dimensioning of these additional open-
ings, refer to qualified technical staff and to
current technical.
• Attention: using any components that use
electrical power requires some fundamental
rules to be observed:
- never pull electrical cables or leave the appli-
ance exposed to weathering (rain, sunlight,
etc.);
- if the appliance is not to be used for a certain
period, it is good practice to disconnect the
power supply batteries.
At the end of its service life the appliance must
not be disposed of like normal household waste
nor abandoned in the environment, but must
be removed by a professionally authorised
company. Contact the manufacturer for disposal
instructions.
2.5 USE OF THE WATER HEATER.
Ignition of the water heater. Before ignition,
check that the DHW inlet valve is open.
- Open the gas cock upstream from the water
heater.
- Turn the gas selector (ref. 1 g. 2-1) taking it
to the position relative to the power desired
(Turning the gas selector anti-clockwise the
power increases and clockwise the power
decreases).
N.B.: with the selector at “=” the gas supply
to the water heater is closed, which thus can-
not ignite.
From this moment the water heater functions
automatically. While there is no request for the
production of DHW, the water heater stays in the
“stand-by” function mode. At every withdrawal
of DHW, the burner ignites and a power that
depends on the size of the withdrawal, with a
maximum value limited by the gas selector (ref.
1 g. 2-1).
Regulation of the domestic hot water tempera-
ture. e temperature of the hot water supplied
depends on the position of the water selector
(ref. 2 g. 2-1).
By turning the selector clockwise the temperature
increases and anti-clockwise it decreases.

2.6 DESCRIPTION OF THE
ANOMALIES.
Ignition block. The water heater ignites au-
tomatically with each demand for hot water
production. If this does not occur within a deter-
mined burner ignition time, the appliance goes
into “ignition block” (the discharge ends on the
pilot unit). To eliminate the “ignition block”, just
stop the withdrawal of DHW and then restore it.
If this phenomenon occurs frequently, contact an
authorised company (e.g. Authorised Aer-Sales
Technical Assistance Service).
Overheating thermostat block. During normal
functioning, if a fault causes excessive over-
heating internally, the water heater goes into
overtemperature block. Aer suitable cooling,
eliminate the "overtemperature block", interrupt-
ing and then restoring the DHW withdrawal. If
this phenomenon occurs frequently, contact an
authorised company (e.g. Authorised Aer-Sales
Technical Assistance Service).
Chimney thermostat block. During operation,
if the ue gas evacuation pipe does not function
correctly, the ue safety thermostat intervenes
blocking the water heater. e latter can only
re-start aer suitable cooling, if normal condi-
tions are restored and in correspondence of a
new request for DHW. If this phenomenon oc-
curs frequently, contact an authorised company
(e.g. Authorised Aer-Sales Technical Assistance
Service).
2.7 SWITCHING OFF THE WATER
HEATER.
Disconnect the batteries and close the gas valve
upstream from the appliance. Never leave the
water heater powered if le unused for prolonged
periods.
2.8 REPLACING THE BATTERIES.
The batteries that power this appliance are
housed in the lower part of the water heater, near
to the hydraulic connections. To replace the bat-
teries, open the relevant compartment by pulling
the lid down and removing the batteries present.
Insert the new batteries respecting the polarities
indicated on the internal wall of the lid itself.
N.B.: only use new “LR20” 1.5V alkaline batter-
ies. Dispose of the batteries replaced according
to the indications supplied by the manufacturer.
Do not use re-chargeable batteries as they could
limit functioning of the water heater.
- If there are leaks of substances from the battery,
avoid contact with the skin.
- If the liquid escaping from the battery comes
into contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly
with water and contact a doctor.
- If the liquid comes into contact with the skin,
rinse thoroughly with water and soap.
- Contact the manufacturer of the batteries for
further information.
- Do not throw the batteries in the re.
- Remove the batteries if the water heater re-
mains unused for a long period.
- Use a dry, rough cloth to clean the battery
housing, every time they are replaced.
- Contact the local authorities for information
regarding the disposal of the batteries.
2.9 EMPTYING THE WATER HEATER.
To empty the water heater, close the cold water
inlet valve and open the hot water valve lower
down in the water network in the room.
2.10 PROTECTION AGAINST FREEZING.
If the appliance remains inactive, in places at risk
of freezing, it must be emptied to prevent possible
breakage of the hydraulic circuit.
To do this, see the previous paragraph (emptying
the water heater)
2.11 CASE CLEANING.
Use damp cloths and neutral detergent to clean
the water heater casing. Never use abrasive or
powder detergents.
2.12 DECOMMISSIONING.
In the event of permanent shutdown of the
water heater, contact an authorised company
for the procedures and ensure that the batteries
are disconnected and the water and gas supply
lines are shut o.
