1.1 Floor load
1.2 Working clearance
1.3 Packaging
1.4 Disposal
Allow for the storage vessels weight and the maximum floor load; refer to the table (1.5
"General specifications").
For access to the storage vessel it is recommended that the following clearances are
observed:
around the anode connection: 100 cm.
around the vessel: 50 cm.
top of the vessel: 50 cm
Note
When installing the storage vessel, be aware that any leakage from the tank and/or
connections can cause damage to the immediate environment or floors below the level
of the boiler room. If this is the case, the storage vessel should be installed above a
waste water drain or in a suitable metal leak tray.
The leak tray must have an appropriate waste water drain and must be at least 5 cm
deep with a length and width at least 5 cm greater than the diameter of the storage
vessel.
The packaging prevents damage to the appliance during transport. The
packaging material chosen is environmentally friendly, recyclable and
relatively easy to dispose of in an environmentally aware way.
Old end-of-life appliances contain materials that need to be recycled. When disposing of
old devices that have reached the end of their service life, you should
take account of local legislation relating to waste disposal.
You must therefore never dispose of your old appliance together with
regular waste, but should and it into a municipal waste collection depot for
electrical and electronic equipment. Ask your dealer/installation engineer
for advice if necessary. The old appliance must be stored out of reach of
children.

3.1 Filling
To fill the water heater, proceed as follows:
1. Open the stop valve (11) in the hot water pipe and, if present, the stop valves (4) for
the circulation pump (6).
2. Close the drain valve (9).
3. Open the nearest hot water draw-off point (14).
4. Open the stop valve (4) on the cold water side (A) so that cold water flows into the
water heater.
5. Completely fill the water heater. When a full water jet flows from the nearest draw-off
point, the water heater is full.
6. Bleed the entire installation of air, for example by opening all draw-off points.
7. The water heater is now under water supply pressure. There should now be no water
coming out of the inlet combination expansion valve or (if used) out of the T&P valve
(3). If there is, the cause might be:
- The water supply pressure is greater than the specified value (1.6 "General
specifications"). Rectify this by fitting a pressure reducing valve (1).
- The expansion valve in the protected cold supply set-up is defective or incorrectly
fitted.

10 Installation, Commissioning, User & Maintenance Instructions
3.2 Draining
1. Close the stop valve (4) between the cold water head tank and the cold water inlet
(A).
2. Open the drain valve (9).
3. Bleed the water heater (or installation) so that it drains completely.

4 Maintenance
4.1 Preparation for
maintenance
4.2 Water-side
maintenance
4.2.1
Warning
Maintenance may only be carried out by a competent person.
At each service, the storage vessel undergoes maintenance on water side. The
maintenance must be carried out in the following order.
1. Preparation for maintenance
2. Water-side maintenance
3. Finalising maintenance
Note
Before ordering spare parts, it is important to write down the installation type, storage
vessel model and the full serial number of the storage vessel. These details can be
found on the rating plate. Only by ordering with this information can you be sure
receiving the correct spare parts.
The preparation for maintenance consists out of testing and checking if all components
are still working properly by completing the following steps:
1. Test the operation of the overflow valve of the protected cold supply setup. The water
should put out.
2. Check the drainage pipes from the discharge points of all valves and remove any
scale deposits that may be present.
3. Drain the storage vessel.
Water-side maintenance consists of descaling and cleaning the tank and checking the
anode.
Descaling and cleaning the tank
Scale and lime build-up prevent effective conduction of the heat to the water. Periodic
cleaning and descaling prevents build-up of these deposits. This increases the service
life of the storage vessel, and also improves the heating process.
Take the rate of scale formation into account when deciding on the service interval.
Scale formation depends on the local water composition, the water consumption and the
water temperature setting. A water temperature setting of maximum 60°C is
recommended for the prevention of excessive scale build-up.
To guarantee a good, watertight seal around the cleaning opening, replace the gasket,
washers, bolts and, if necessary, the lid with new parts before reassembly. Spare parts
are obtainable from the supplier/manufacturer.
To simplify descaling and cleaning of the tank, the storage vessel is equipped with a
cleaning opening.
Work order:
1. Undo bolts from the cover.
2. Remove cover and the gasket.
3. Inspect the tank and remove the loose scale deposits and contamination.
4. If the scale cannot be removed by hand, descale the storage vessel with a descaling
agent. Contact the supplier/manufacturer for advice on what descaling agent to use.
5. Close the cleaning opening. To avoid damage to the tank, tighten the bolts, that
fasten the lid, with a torque no greater than 50 Nm. Use suitable tools for this.

12 Installation, Commissioning, User & Maintenance Instructions
4.2.2 Checking anode
Anode ensure the protection of the tank by sacrificing themselves. Insufficient anode
material may lead to poor protection and, hence, leakage of the tank.
1. Loosen the anodes one by one.
2. Check the diameter of each anode in different places. The diameter must be at least
60% of the original diameter.
3. If the diameter is less than the minimum, the anode must be replaced. Please contact
the supplier/manufacturer to order new anodes.
4. Mount the (new) anode.
