Installation

Caution
• Please wait for 30 minutes before using the heater for the first time.
• The heater should only be connected to a power source after a full installation which ensures
secure mounting, piping, wiring and filling of the tank with water.
• To prevent injuries from lifting heavy equipment, the water heater should be installed by at least
2 persons.
• The water heater must be installed by a qualified person
Tank installation
• Make sure the floor where the tank is placed can bear approximately 1.5 times weight of the tank
when it is fully filled with water. During the installation, the tank cannot touch the floor directly, and
there should be a raised bottom at around 20mm under the tank. Please make sure the tank is
loaded steadily.
• The tank of the water heater shall be installed near to the power socket, sewer mouth and the area
where water is needed (Figure 4).
• Because high temperature water may drain from the temperature and pressure relief valve on the
tank during the usage of the water heater, the drainage pipes of the pressure relief port must be
connected to floor drain to prevent scald.
• The water heater should be located in an area where leakage of the water heater or the pipe joint
will not damage to the subjects around or the lower floors of the building.
Pipe connection
Install the inlet and outlet pipe according to the diagram. If the
water pressure of the water inlet pipe is near to or exceeds
the release value of relief valve (1.03MPa), please install a
pressure reducing valve in the water inlet pipe far from the
water heater.
Caution
Apply proper sealant to
the pipe joints to prevent
leakage. Do not over-
tighten the safety valve to
avoid damage.
