4 Information on installation and

operation

4.1

Requirements for the installation site

The gas instantaneous water heaters are installed
against a wall, preferably near the regular extraction
points and the flue chimney.
They can be installed in flats, basements, storage rooms
or multi-purpose rooms. Ask your heating engineer
which national regulations must be observed.
The installation and use of gas fired instantaneous
water heaters in vehicles such as mobile homes or cara-
vans is prohibited. Units that are not classed as vehicles
are those that are installed in a fixed and permanent
location.
The entire installation site should be frost-proof.
Observe the specified frost protection measures if you
are unable to ensure this requirement.
i
It is not necessary to keep a clearance
between the appliance and combustible mate-
rials or components, since at the rated heat-
ing power of the appliance the temperature
at the surface of the housing is always lower
than the maximum allowed temperature of
85 °C.
i
To enable the regular maintenance work to
be carried out, ensure that there is a mini-
mum clearance of 30 mm at the sides of the
unit.
4.2

Care

>
Clean the exterior your appliance with a damp cloth
and a little soap.
i
Do not use scouring or cleaning agent, which
might damage the exterior or plastic controls.
4.3

Recycling and disposal

Both the gas instantaneous water heater and its packag-
ing consist mainly of recyclable raw materials.
4.3.1

The appliance

Neither the gas instantaneous water heater or any of its
accessories belong in the household waste. Make sure
the old appliance and any existing accessories are dis-
posed of properly.

4.3.2 Battery

When the battery is flat, dispose of it properly at an offi-
cial collection point (not with the household waste).
4.3.3

Packaging

Please leave the disposal of the transport packaging to
the expert company which installed the appliance.
i
Observe the applicable national legal regula-
tions.

Energy saving tips

Appropriate hot water temperature
The water should only be heated up to the extent that is
necessary for use. Any further heating is a waste of
energy. Also, water temperatures above above 60 °C
lead to increased lime scale.
Conscious handling of water
Energy-conscious use of water can reduce your bills
considerably. For example taking a shower instead of a
bath: whereas about 150 litres of water are required for
a bath, a modern shower equipped with water saving fit-
tings only requires a third of this water quantity. By the
way, a dripping water tap wastes up to 2000 litre of
water and a leaking toilet flush up to 4000 litres of
water each year. On the other hand, a new seal only
costs a few cents.
