CAREFULLY READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING THE WATER HEATER! Dear Customer, The Works Cooperative of Dražice - Machine Plant, Ltd., would like to thank you for your decision to use a product of our brand. With this guide, we will introduce you to the use, construction, maintenance and other information on electrical water heaters.
1 PRODUCT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 1.1 FUNCTION DESCRIPTION The heater is designed for the so-called accumulation heating of service water by electric energy, or by thermal energy through exchanger. Water is heated by an electric element at a time determined by the electricity supplier, or by a heat exchanger in an enamelled thermally insulated tank. At the time of the heating, the element is controlled by thermostat on which the desired temperature can be set (ranging from 5 and 74°C).

2 OPERATION AND FITTING INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 OPERATING CONDITIONS The tank shall only be used in accordance with the conditions specified on the power plate and in instructions for electric wiring. Besides legally acknowledged national regulations and standards, also conditions for connection defined in local electric and water works have to be adhered to, as well as the installation and operation manual.

If the hot water heater is mounted in a tight, smaller space, or in an intermediate ceiling, etc., you have to make sure that the connecting side of the appliance (connections to water supply, area for electric plugging) remained accessible and no heat accumulation occurs. Free space of up to 600 mm from the bottom edge of the heater has to be available under the heater.
2.3 PLUMBING FIXTURE The heater connects to water distribution tubes with G1/2“ thread in the bottom part of the heater. Blue - cold water supply, red - hot water outlet. For potential disconnection of the heater, the service water inlets and outlets must be provided with screw coupling Js 1/2“. The safety valve is mounted on the cold water inlet identified with a blue ring.

It is recommended to install stop valves on the heating water inlet and outlet (for possible dismantling of the heater). The valves have to be as close to the heater as possible to avoid higher thermal losses. Figure 9 Figure 10 - 14 -...
• The heater is connected to the 230 V/50 Hz electricity supply using a fixed moving conductor with a switch that turns off all network poles and the circuit breaker (protector). • In the OKC 80 - 125 and OKC 100 - 125/1m heaters, after wall mounting and adjusting the distance from the wall by M8x80 rectifying screw, connect the external protective connection wire to the rectifying screw.
Figure 12 2.5 OPERATION a) Water heating by electric energy After the heater is connected to electric network, the heating element starts heating water. The element is turned on and off by a thermostat. After reaching the temperature set, the thermostat switches off the electric circuit and discontinues water heating.
During the heating process the pressurised connection water that increases its volume due to heating must drip off the safety valve. In non-pressurised connection water drips off the overflow combination faucet. When heating is finished, the set temperature and the actual temperature of consumed water must be more-or-less the same.
2.8 INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE & CARE FOR THE APPLIANCE During the heating process the water that increases its volume during the heating must drip off the safety valve outlet (in non-pressurised connection this water drips off the combination faucet valve). In full heating (about 65oC) the volumetric water gain is approx. 3% of the tank capacity.
2.9 MOST FREQUENT FUNCTION FAILURES AND THEIR CAUSES FAILURE SYMPTOM INDICATOR SOLUTION • The temperature set on the thermostat is too low • Heating element failure • Light on Water is cold • No supply voltage! • Light off • Thermostat failure •...
3.1.2 TEMPERATURE SETTING Water temperature is set by turning the thermostat knob. The desired symbol is adjusted against the fixed point on the control panel. Lower limit of temp. scope (around 5°C) Upper temperature range limit (about 74°C) Fixed point on the control panel "Anti-freezing"...
4 IMPORTANT NOTICES 4.1 INSTALLATION REGULATIONS Without a confirmation of performed electrical installation issued by an authorised company, the warranty certificate shall be void. Check and exchange the Mg anode regularly. You have to apply for approval of a local power supplier to connect the heater. No stop valves can be put between the heater and the safety valve.
4.3 DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING MATERIAL AND NON-FUNCTIONING PRODUCT A service fee for providing return and recovery of packaging material has been paid for the packaging in which the product was delivered. The service fee was paid pursuant to Act No 477/2001 Coll., as amended, at EKO-KOM a.s. The client number of the company is F06020274.
