Certain precautions are to be observed upon use of the water heater. 

Improper use due to ignoring precautions may harm health of the user and 

other people as well as damage their property.
1. Any electrical appliance must be under control upon its use, especially if 

there are children nearby. Make sure children do not touch the appliance.
2. Prior to installation of the water heater, not connecting it to the electrical 

main, check and make sure that the outlet for the water heater has a 

ground contact and it is properly earthed. If there is no earth loop in your 

electrical main then using of the water heater will be dangerous for your life.
3. Connect the water heater only to 220V / 50Hz electrical main. If 

necessary, find out parameters of your main at power suppliers.
4. To prevent overheating and risk of fire as well as damage of inner 

electrical main do not modify the power cord’s length and do not connect 

the water heater through power extension cord.
5. It is forbidden to switch on the water heater if it is not filled with water or if 

water cannot go through the pressure safety valve.
6. Never use the water heater if it is damaged.
7. Do not remove the water heater cover when it is in operation.
8. Immediately unplug the water heater from the electrical main if strange 

sounds, odour or smoke comes out from it.
9.Always unplug the water heater from the electrical main during thunderstorm.
10. Prior to cleaning and maintenance of the water heater unplug it from the 

electrical main every time. Cleaning and maintenance must be performed in 

compliance with the instructions contained in this manual.
11. Do not use hazardous chemical substances to clean the water heater and 

prevent their contact with the appliance.
12. To prevent electrical shock the damaged power cord must be replaced 

only by qualified specialists in manufacturer’s authorized service centres.
13. To prevent electrical shock do not place the power cord nearby heating 

devices and flammable or combustible agents.
14. As temperature of water in the water heater can reach 75°C when it is 

in operation you should not place your body parts under hot water upon the 

first run. To prevent burns you should adjust the temperature of the outflowing 

water.
15. Do not use the water heater for purposes not stipulated in this instruction 

manual.

2. PRECAUTIONS

16. Do not use the water heater in an explosive or corrosive environment. Do 

not store petrol and any other volatile flammable liquids near to the appliance. 

It is very dangerous!
17. It is forbidden to make alterations in the design of the water heater or 

modify it.
18. Any service works must be performed by a specialized organisation and 

qualified specialists. Improper installation may cause voiding of guarantee 

maintenance.
19. The water heater is not intended for use by children and persons with 

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or a lack of experience

the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be 

controlled to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

3. APPLICATION OF WATER HEATER

4. PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS

Electric water heater is used to heat cold water from water supply. Unit is 

for household use.

Main distinctive features

1. Completely automatic control: automatic water heating, continuous 

automatic water temperature control.
2. Protection system:
• Drop Defense – leakage protection and protection against excessive 

pressure inside the tank (pressure safety valve);
• HOT Defense – two-level overheating protection (temperature detec-tor 

and temperature limiter).
3. Steel inner tank with special protection coat from titanium finely-divided 

glass enamel drown down by the modern method of electrostatic dry 

enamelling is resistant to corrosion and boiler scale. Additionally, enamel 

possesses increased adhesive capacity and high flexibility (heat-treated 

at the temperature of 850°С) that allow it to expand and shrink upon 

temperature differentials in the same proportion as the walls of the inner tank 

not forming micro-cracks in which corrosion pits can appear.
4. Pipes of heating elements are designed taking into account high heating 

load: safe and reliable with increased service life.
5. The water heater is fitted with an anode rod for protection against corrosion
