Connection to electric main

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 are intending to use, is not properly grounded or 

grounded by a time-delay fuse or a circuit breaker, 

contact a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet.

IMPORTANT! 

To provide reliable operation and safe use of the 

water heater, prior to the first run check if it is properly 

connected to the 230V AC mains. The water heater to 

be connected must be securely linked with the earth 

circuit of your electric mains. If the water heater is 

not grounded, then in case of a short circuit GFCI, 

supplied with the heater, may not operate. It is 

dangerous.

IMPORTANT! 

Wall outlet should be rated on voltage not lower than 

10А, electric main cabel with cooper section not 

lesser then 3х1,5 mm

1. The water heater is designed to be connected to 230V single-phase 
electric main. Prior to connecting make sure that parameters of the electric 
main in the place of connection correspond to parameters, specified on the 
identification plate with technical parameters of the appliance. You should 
follow the current electrical safety code when installing the water heater.

2. The power outlet must be properly grounded. The outlet must be 
designed for rated current not less than 10A. The power outlet and plug 
must always be dry to prevent current leakage. Regularly check if the 
power plug is tightly connected to the outlet. Do it in the following order: 
insert the power plug into the outlet, switch off the water heater after half-
hour operation and unplug the cord, check if the plug is heated by your 
hand. If the plug is heated over 50°C, then to prevent damages, accidents 
and fire as a result of bad electrical contact, replace the outlet with a new 
one. A specialist must do this.

3. Power cord of the appliance is a single unit with GFCI (Ground Fault 
Circuit Interrupter).

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) (Fig. 9)
1. Connect the cable to the mains, indicator (1) will light up.
2. Press button (2) for testing, voltage will be cut off, indicator (1) will light 
down and restart button (3) will go upwards.
3. Press button (3) to restart the appliance, voltage will be restored and 
indicator (1) will light up.

Electric socket should be no lower, than 10A, power card with copper inner 
part, cross-section of copper should be not less, than 3x1,5 mm

IMPORTANT! 

If water in the installation location contains a large 

amount of calcium, manganese or iron salts, then 

IT IS NECESSARY to mount a respective filter in 

the delivery system to reduce the amount of scale 

generated in the tank and on the heating element.
