Electrical connection
1 Before connecting, make sure that the
power supply at the connection point
matches the parameters indicated on the
identification plate with the technical
data of the device The water heater is
designed to be connected to a single-
phase 220–240 V electrical network
When installing the water heater, the
current electrical safety regulations must
be observed
2 The electrical outlet and plug must be
kept dry at all times to prevent electrical
leakage Regularly check that the electrical
plug is firmly connected to the outlet. The
electrical socket must be designed for a
rated current of at least 10 A, an electrical
cable with a core cross section of at least
3 × 1 5 mm2 (for copper) Carry out the
check in the following order: insert the
electric plug into the socket, after half
an hour of operation, turn off the water
heater and remove the plug from the
socket, check with your hand if the plug
has warmed up If the plug has become
hotter than 50°C, replace the outlet with a
different one to avoid damage, accidents,
or fire due to poor electrical contact. This
should be done by a specialist
RCD (residual current device)

2 If the water at the installation site contains
a large amount of calcium, manganese or
iron salts, then it is necessary to install an
appropriate filter in the supply system to
reduce the amount of scale in the tank and
on the heating element
3 Before connecting the storage water heater,
make sure that the water heater is properly
grounded Proper grounding is important
to minimize electric shock and fire hazards.
The power cord is equipped with a plug
with a grounding contact The device must
be used with a properly grounded power
outlet If the outlet you plan to use is not
properly grounded or protected by a time
delay fuse or circuit breaker, contact a
qualified electrician to install the correct
outlet
4 To ensure reliable operation and safe
operation of the water heater, before using
it for the first time, check that it is correctly
connected to an AC 220 V electrical
network The connected water heater
must be securely connected to the ground
loop of your electrical network Using the
water heater without grounding is life-
threatening
