- Page 4 Dimension Installation ◼ Installation location Do not install this water heater in a place where freezing may occur. The water heater should be installed as close as possible to the hot water point with the highest frequency of use. There should be enough clearance around the water heater so that the entire unit can be removed for repair or replacement if necessary.
- Page 5 ◆ The water heater should be placed on a refractory base with a height of not less than 50mm, and there should be a high temperature resistant floor drain with unobstructed drainage near the base to prevent damage to other facilities in case the water heater or pipeline leaks.
- Page 6 ◼ Installation Precautions Wiring work must be done by a qualified electrician and must meet electrical safety requirements. When the user needs to install and move, please contact the company's after-sales service center for professional help. DO NOT install and shift it by yourself. Otherwise, the company will not be responsible for any damage and failure caused and warranty of water heater will be void.
- Page 7 Pipe Connection ◼ Pipe connection diagram ◼ Connection Instruction ⚫ Material Requirements Because the water heater and its piping system will bear pressure from tap water, all water-side pipes must be made of temperature-resistant, pressure-resistant, and corrosion-resistant metal or new-type plastic material. Pressure resistance performance of the pipes must not be lower than the relief pressure of the T&P valve, while the temperature resistance must not be lower than 99°C.
- Page 8 Pipeline Size To ensure the best performance, the pipe size should be selected according to the specific installation needs. The following are the recommended pipe sizes. Hot water pipe: Main pipe – Rp 3/4" (20mm) Cold water pipe: The size of the cold-water pipe should be the same or larger than the size of the hot water pipe used.
- Page 9 Warning: Regardless of the water supply method, the non-return valve on the cold-water inlet pipe must be installed correctly, otherwise the water heater or its parts might be damaged. ⚫ Condensation drainpipe connection The water heater is equipped with a condensation drain hose, one end of which is connected to the condensation drain and another end to the floor drain.
- Page 10 Warning: Drainpipe of the T&P relief valve shall be installed in forest-free environment and kept inclined downwards. The outlet of the drainpipe should not be blocked at any time, and it should be kept in contact with the atmosphere, and make sure the discharged hot water will not endanger people safety or cause property damage.

- Page 21 The calcium carbonate in the water can deposit on the surfaces of hot metal, which can cause scaling. When the saturation index of water is greater than 0.4, the scaling will be obvious. The higher the water temperature and water consumption, the more serious the scaling will be. In this case, it is required to install an expansion control valve after the non-return valve on the cold-water pipeline of the water heater.
