Advice for user
- Avoid positioning any objects and/or appliances that could be damaged by water
leaks beneath the water heater.
- Should you not use any water for an extended period of time, you should:
disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply by switching the external
switch to "OFF";
turn off the plumbing circuit taps.
- Hot water at above 50°C flowing out of the taps at the point of use could cause
serious scalds or even death from burns. Children, the disabled and the elderly are
more exposed to the risk of burns.
- It is strictly forbidden for the user to perform any routine or extraordinary maintenance.
- Before calling the after-sales service centre for assistance in the event of a suspected
malfunction, check first whether this is due to other causes, such as for example a
temporary power failure or water shortage.

Operation
To turn the water heater on, insert the plug into the wall socket or switch on the bipolar
switch.
The pilot lamp (A fig. 4) only stays on during the heating cycle; during this time, the
expanding water could cause some water to trickle from the tap: this is completely
normal and does not mean the tap is faulty. Do not screw the taps too tightly to
prevent damaging their seals.
The thermostat will automatically disable the heating element as soon as the selected
water temperature is reached.
During the final stage of heating, it is normal for a few cycles of thermostat starting
and stopping to take place.
During normal operation, the electric heating element may make a little noise inside
the appliance, which is due to the heat exchange; the plumbing connections may also
become hot to the touch.
Adjusting the operating temperature
The temperature of the water can be selected on the knob (F fig. 6) and can be adjusted
from 40 to 80°C approximately.
We recommend you set the temperature of the water heater to 60°C to:
- reduce the formation of limescale;
- reduce heat dispersion;
- avoid the risk of bacteria proliferation.
