EMPTYING
Draining is through the safety valve overflow pipe and
is carried out as follows:
• Turn off the power to the water heater.
• Open the shut off valve/non-return valve by turning
the knob (QM35) clockwise until it bottoms.
• Turn the mixer valve (FQ1) fully anticlockwise.
• Open the safety valve by turning the knob (FL1) slowly
anticlockwise a quarter of a turn, until it is fixed in the
raised position.
NOTE
Water splashes may occur at the overflow pipe.
• Remove the vent screw (QM5) and open the hot water
tap positioned lowest in the pipe system.
NOTE
Hot water may squirt out of the vent screw
hole.
It can take a few minutes for draining to start.
To speed up draining, air can be introduced via the vent
screw (QM5).
Keep the valves' positions after the above actions until
the water heater is to be used again.
A small amount of water may remain at the bottom of
the water heater after the draining stages described 1
– 5.
NOTE
The overflow pipe must be connected to
pos. (XL48).

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING
The water heater must be installed in a room with exist-
ing floor drainage. The water heater can be mounted
hanging vertically on a flat wall (with the connections
downward) or horizontally (with the rear facing down).
Use the enclosed suspension bracket (UL2) when
hanging on a wall; this is set up first (Ø8 – 10 mm
screws), see the dimensions diagram and figure below.
The water heater is then hung on the bracket. The water
heater can now slide sideways a little, which facilitates
the installation of the pipes. To secure further, the en-
closed securing bracket (UL3) is mounted on the wall
against the top of the water heater as a tip guard, see
the figure below. An area of 200 mm free space is re-
quired in front of/under the water heater for servicing
work.
* EMINENT-E requires free space behind/above the water heater for in-
spection of the sacrificial anode (FR2). See the section "Care and mainten-
ance - Sacrificial anode".
