BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY
IMPORTANT: The appliances must be installed in compliance with the provisions of the EN standard
regarding placing in bathrooms; they must be installed according to the version (oversink and undersink)
as shown on the packing.

setting do not allow it.

3.1. Wall mounting

After checking that that wall is strong enough fix 2 hooks of suitable size (not supplied) to it, making sure they a securely
anchored. Then hang the appliance on the hooks by means of the support bracket, as shown in fig. 8.
3.2. Anode.
The magnesium anode fitted inside the appliances, together with the special treatment inside the boiler, guarantees protection
against corrosion of the tank.

3.3. Water connection

The water inlet and outlet are marked as follows:
- blue ring for the cold water inlet;
- red ring for the hot water outlet.
It is advisable to place the appliance near the main hot water drawing point in order to avoid heat loss along the piping, and
possibly near a drain to facilitate emptying operations. The appliance water connection is shown in Fig. 3, 4 and 5. The
procedure for correct installation is illustrated below.
3.3.1. Water safety unit (compulsory).
It is compulsory to install a water safety unit (not supplied by us) conforming to current EN 1487 standards or equivalent,
which must comprise at least the following elements:

Stopcock;

Non-return valve;

Non-return valve control device;

Safety valve;

Water pressure cutoff device.
The above-mentioned components are necessary for safe operation of the appliances supplied. The rated pressure setting of
the water safety unit must be 0.7 Mpa (7 bar). When installing the water safety unit make sure not to force or tamper with it.
Water may drip from the water safety unit discharge connection (see par. "USER INSTRUCTIONS – Dripping from water
safety unit"). This opening must be left open to the atmosphere. A downward sloping drain pipe must be arranged in a place
free of condensate and ice. To avoid overpressures make sure the piping is free of any obstructions.
