Heater description
The steel plate tank is designed to resist a pres-
●
sure of 12 bars (about twice the working pressu-
re).
Its corrosion protection is provided by a layer of
vitrified enamel and a magnesium anode or an
impressed current anode.
The heating element consists of an immersion
●
or ceramic element that heats the water tank.
- The immersion element immersed in the
water. The water heater has to be emptied in
order to replace it.
- The ceramic element protected by an enamel
coated sheath, which makes it unnecessary to
empty the heater when replacing the element.
Vertical, floor-standing water heater equipped
with a ceramic element with an "impressed
current anode".

The thermostat controls the water temperature.

It is preset in the factory to about 65°C
-
A temperature circuit breaker is provided for
●
safety if the water temperature should rise abnor-
mally.
This circuit breaker can be reset manually.
For models equipped with an "impressed cur-
●
rent anode", the tank is protected against corro-
sion by an very low voltage electrical current.
- The electronic panel provides the necessary
permanent current for this protection, both in
peak hours and in off-peak hours.

Put the water heater where it is protected from
●
frost.
Position it as close as possible to the most fre-
●
quently used taps.
There is no need to lag it if it is installed in an
●
uninhabited room (cellar, garage) because water
heaters are well insulated, however the pipes
should be insulated.
For models with an "impressed current anode",
●
the continuous ambient temperature around the
water heater must not exceed 40°C.
Installing a vertical wall-mounted water heater (VM)
Several attachment types are possible depending on the nature of the wall :
A) Thin walls (plasterboard partition)
ø 10 mm threaded rods passing through the
wall connected by sections or plywood pan-
els.
Internal protection
Use the attachment template printed on the packaging box for both types of walls.

heaters can be placed on a suitable tripod,
manufacturer-recommended equipment.

Installation of the heater
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the wall-bracket is strong
●
enough to carry the weight of the water heater
when full of water.
Allow 500 mm of space in front of the access
●
door, for periodic maintenance of the heating
element and the anode.
Install a retention tank under the water heater if
●
it is placed in a false ceiling, in the attic, or above
inhabited rooms. An outlet connected to a drain
pipe is necessary.
Handles are built into both ends to facilitate handling.
B) Thick hard walls (concrete, stone,
brick)
ø 10 mm anchor bolts, or drill holes to fit ø
10 mm MOLY type inserts.
NOTE
They may also be attached to the ceiling
●
using a special kit (optional accessories).
Refer to the special manual delivered with
the kit.
