Warning!
If the appliance is installed horizontally,
the water supply pipes must be on the left,
placement of the supply pipes on the right is
not allowed!

Connecting to the power grid

All storage water heaters of the SI EEC series
are designed to connect to an electrical
network with a single-phase voltage of
230 V. Before connecting, make sure that
the power supply at the place of connection
complies with the specifications on the
rating plate of the appliance. Observe the
applicable electrical safety regulations
when installing the heater. When installing
the water heater in the bathroom or toilet,
take into account the restrictions related to
the existence of prohibited and protective
volumes (spaces).
Prohibited volume is the space limited by
the tangential and vertical planes in relation
to the outer edges of the bathtub, toilet or
shower unit and the plane above them, or
above the floor if the plumbing is mounted
on the floor, at a height of 2.25 m.
A protective volume is a space whose
enclosing horizontal planes coincide with
the planes of the forbidden volume, and
whose vertical planes are 1 meter from the
corresponding planes of the forbidden
volume.

Operation

Filling with water
In order to fill the tank completely with water, it is
necessary:
• open the hot water tap on the faucet;
• open the water supply valve to the water
heater;
• wait for the water to come out of the faucet;
• close the hot water tap on the faucet and
make sure there are no leaks.
If water flows from the hot water tap — the
tank is full of water. Only then can the tank be
connected to the power grid.
In the case of uncertainty as to whether there
is water in the water heater, do not connect it
to the mains.
Connecting to the power grid
Watch out!
Connect to the mains only after filling with
water (the opposite may cause burning of the
heating element and damage to the device).
Plug the water heater into an outlet, then the
display on the panel lights up control. This
indicates that the water heater is switched on
and is supplied with power. Set the desired
water heating level from low to high using the
heating temperature control. The water heating
temperature will be shown on the display
as it heats up. Heating water is switched
off automatically when the set temperature
is reached and is switched on to reheat
automatically. When the water temperature
reaches the set temperature, the heating will
stop.
