2. To connect the water heater to the water main apply pipes with diameter 

of G1/2.
3. To prevent water leakage when connecting pipes use rubber sealing 

gaskets on the threaded pipe ends.
4. Screw the safety pressure valve onto the inlet nozzle marked with blue 

colour and an arrow pointed water flow direction so that the water flow 

direction coincides with direction of the arrow on the valve case.

5. Water heater with the mounted valve must be connected to the water 

main – install a shut-off valve at the water inlet point. You need to connect 

a drain pipe to the opening of the pressure relief of safety valve. Next you 

should put a drain pipe to the sewer.
6. Connect a desired number of consumption points to the outlet nozzle 

marked with red colour.
7. Check leak tightness of joints: open the cut-off valve and one of the outlet 

valves. After the tank is filled with water, as evidenced by outflow of water 

from the outlet valve, turn off the outlet valve and check leak tightness of all 

the joints.

Connection to the electrical main

NOTE:

The water heater is the appliance operating in such 

a manner that pressure of water in the water heater 

corresponds to the pressure of water in the water main. 

If pressure in the water main exceeds 0.7 MPa then it 

is necessary to install a pressure reducer before the 

water heater so that pressure will not exceed 0.7 MPa.

NOTE:

Do not install additional accessories, such as a cut-

off valve, between the safety pressure valve and inlet 

nozzle.

IMPORTANT! 

If water in the location of installation contains a large 

amount of calcium, manganese or ferric salts it is 

necessary to mount an appropriate filter in the supply 

system to reduce the amount of boiler scale in the 

tank and on the heating element.

IMPORTANT! 

Prior to connecting the tank water heater make sure 

that the water heater is properly grounded. Proper 

grounding is important to minimize electric shocks 

and risk of fire. The power cord is equipped with a 

plug with a grounding pin. The appliance must be 

used with a properly grounded power outlet. If the 

outlet you intend to use is not properly grounded or 

grounded by a time-delay fuse or a circuit breaker 

address to a qualified electrician to install a proper 

outlet.

1. The water heater is designed to be connected to ~220V single-phase 

electrical main. Prior to connecting make sure that parameters of the 

electrical main in the point of connection correspond to the parameters 

specified on the identification plate with technical characteristics of the 

appliance. You should observe the current electrical safety code when 

installing the water heater.
2. Power outlet must be designed for rated current of 10A at least; copper-

conductor power cord must be at least 3x1.5 mm

2

 in cross-section (for 

copper). The power outlet and the plug must always remain dry to prevent 

current leakage. Check regularly if the power plug is tightly connected to 

the outlet. Do it in the following order: insert the power plug into the outlet; 

in half an hour switch off the water heater and unplug the cord; check by 

your hand if the plug is heated. If the plug is heated over 50°C replace the 

outlet with a new one to prevent damages, accidents and fire due to bad 

electrical contact. A specialist must do this.
