Filling and draining

Note
These products can be installed as vented and unvented. This manual only discusses
unvented installations. For information about vented installations please contact your
supplier.
Installation Diagram
To fill the water heater, proceed as follows:
1. Open the stop valve (11) in the hot water pipe and, if present, the stop valves (4) for
the circulation pump (6).
2. Close the drain valve (9).
3. Open the nearest hot water draw-off point (14).
4. Open the stop valve (4) on the cold water side (A) so that cold water flows into the
water heater.
5. Completely fill the water heater. When a full water jet flows from the nearest draw-off
point, the water heater is full.
6. Bleed the entire installation of air, for example by opening all draw-off points.
7. The water heater is now under water supply pressure. There should now be no water
coming out of the inlet combination expansion valve or (if used) out of the T&P valve
(3). If there is, the cause might be:
-
The water supply pressure is greater than the specified value (1.6 "General
specifications"). Rectify this by fitting a pressure reducing valve (1).
-
The expansion valve in the protected cold supply set-up is defective or incorrectly
fitted.
