3.3 Installing the water heater
The appliance must be installed
exclusively on a vertical solid wall capable
of supporting its weight. The
water heater should be fitted within the
building unless otherwise protected by a
suitable enclosure i.e. garage or
outhouse. (The water heater may be fitted
inside a cupboard)
■ If the water heater is sited in an
unheated enclosure then it is
recommended to leave the ON/OFF
switch always in ON position to give
frost protection.
In order to allow access to the interior of
the water heater for maintenance
purposes, it is important that the
minimum
distances
indicated in figure 2 are
respected
. To make the installation
easier, the water heater is supplied with a
template to enable the pipe connections
to be positioned prior to fixing the
appliance to the wall.
To install the water heater, proceed as follows (see fig. 2):
a. Use a spirit level (of not less than 25 mm long) to mark a horizontal line on the wall where the water heater is to
be fitted.
b. Position the top of the template along the line drawn with the level, respecting the distances indicated. Then
mark the centres of the positions of the two wall-plugs or anchors. Finally, mark the positions of the water and
gas pipes.
c. Remove the template and install the supplied bracket securely to the wall. Once the water heater is securely
installed, connect the domestic hot and cold water pipes, the gas supply pipe and the central heating pipes
using the fittings supplied with the water heater.
