5. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The product can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and by persons with reduced physical
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised or have been given
instruction concerning use of the product in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. The product
is not a toy, children should not play with the product. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be carried
out by children without supervision. Children must be supervised at all times to ensure that they do not
interfere with the product.
6. USE (PUTTING INTO OPERATION)
6.1. Operacion method. After accomplishing the heater installation and before switching the power on,
open the cock for ow control until a steady water jet starts running from the outlet.
Do not turn on the supply voltage of the appliance if there is a possibility for the water in it to be frozen.
ATTENTION! It is obligatory to do the following before using the appliance after interruption and restoring of
the water supply, in regions where water supply is often interrupted:

10
· Switch o power to the appliance- if the model is tted with a cord and a plug – unplug it from the socket.
For the other models – switch o the shut-down device built into the wiring of the appliance (see item 3.1 and
item 3.2 from section VI)
· To ll the appliance with water – open the tap until a steady jet of water starts running, not interrupted by
air from the water system
· Switch on the power to the appliance again
Do not use the appliance before you have made sure that it is full of water!
When water runs or supply is interrupted, it is usual to hear a sound from the switching over of the automatic
device for switching on and o of the electrical heater.
Specic features of the various models:
6.2. Models for the kitchen.
The heater of the appliance switches on automatically when you run water from the red-coloured handle of
the mixing tap. You can control the temperature of the outgoing water by regulating the water jet from the
same handle. By increasing the water jet you lower the temperature; when decreasing the jet the temperature
goes up. The heater switches o automatically when water from the red-coloured tap stops running.
When you wish to use only cold water, use the blue-coloured tap.
RECOMMENDATION! Control the temperature of the hot water only by changing the water ow rate by using
the red-coloured tap. Do not mix hot and cold water.
It is possible that a little water leaks out of the outlet of the spout after shutting the mixing tap. This is not
a fault but is caused by the emptying of the leading-out pipe of the water tank because the appliance has a
constantly open to the atmosphere outlet.
Do not over-tighten the taps to their end position to avoid damaging them!
Never block the S-spout and never shut the outlet of the mixing tap. Regularly remove the scale from it.
6.3. Model for the bathroom.
The heater is automatically switched on when water runs from the tap at the inlet of the appliance. Increase
the ow in order to lower the temperature of the hot water; to increase the temperature, decrease the water
ow.
The heater switches o automatically when water ow through the appliance stops running.
Regularly remove limestone from the shower head.
These models have inbuilt device to protect from high temperatures of the outgoing water. It can be activated
when the water ow through the appliance is low. In that case the temperature lowers abruptly. After a while
the device restores its function and the temperature goes up. Thus you have alternation of hot and cold jets
in close succession. Such a mode is not recommended and has to be avoided. You have to increase the water
ow until constant temperature of the outgoing water is achieved.
6.4. IN LINE models
Their heater is automatically switched on when water runs through the appliance. Increase the ow in order
to lower the temperature of the hot water. In order to increase the temperature, decrease the water ow.
RECOMMENDATION! Control the temperature only by changing the water ow rate. Do not mix hot and cold
water.
