leaks.

light flashes when the heating element is working.
The thermostat re-activates the heating element after a certain amount of hot water has been used.
Setting water temperatures. The dial on the thermostat can be used to adjust the hot water
temperature between approximately 30 ºC (minimum position) and 75 ºC (maximum position).
E Position. (Energy saving).The water reaches a temperature of around 55 ºC.Heat losses are
minimum in this position and the formation of lime deposits are practically reduced.
It is recommended to have the water heater always plugged into the mains, as the thermostat will only
run the unit when necessary to keep the water at the selected temperature. The polyurethane
insulation foam means that any heat loss will be insignificant.

if there is any risk of freezing pipes at the premises where it is installed.The heater can be drained
using the safety valve.Always remember to:

- Open the hot water tap.
Unplug the water heater and contact the Technical Assistance Service is you see any continuous steam
or boiling water coming out of the drain or when you open a tap.

cover any damages caused if this service is not carried out.
