11 I MD- 0065 2 . FOR THE INSTALLER If possible, use a trolley or fork-lift truck to move the water heater. Always move the water heater in an upright position. 2. 1 Installation instructions The following distances should be observed: - Sides of the water heater: 100 cm (free space for the accessibility of the hand holes) - Rear of the water heate[...]

12 I MD- 0066 -R0 Depending on the length and insulation of the water piping and the water demand frequency, it may be necessary to install a circulation system on the drain cock. The return pipe of the circulation piping can be fitted on the top of the drain cock after the sealing plug has been removed (see figure 6). Unvented To install an A.O. S[...]

13 I MD- 0059 Depending on the water demand pattern (e.g., small amounts frequently), it may be necessary to circulate the water in the water heater to prevent temperature stratification. Therefore, we recommend that a circulation system is installed in the event of such demand patterns (see figure 8). Kits are available from A.O. Smith or our dist[...]

19 2. 2 Turning the water heater on 2.2.1 Filling the water heater 1. Assemble the drain-off tap and check that it is closed. 2. Open the cold water tap to the water heater and open a l l taps on hot water outlet points to vent them. The heater is filled as soon as cold water pours out of all outlet points. 3. Close all taps at hot water draining p[...]

20 Figure 14 - Checking the gas pressures 2. 5 Checking the gas pressures The nominal load has been set at the correct value in the factory. A further check of the pressure should be carried out during the commissioning of the unit. A dangerous situation can occur if the following instructions are not followed carefully. Setting the nominal load is[...]

21 2. 6 Conversion to another gas Important: Install a gas valve suitable for the type of gas to be used. If the water heater has to function on a gas category (LP or natural gas) other than the gas set as standard (ex works), the water heater must be converted to the applicable gas category with the associated conversion kit(s). Only an accredited[...]

22 2 . 7 Maintenance The water heater must be checked and cleaned regularly (at least once a year) by an accredited installer, so that proper operation is guaranteed. The bar burners, control and safety valves must also be checked. (see figure 17). 2.8 Anode The life of the anode is determined by the quality and the quantity of water flowing throug[...]

23 2.10 Condensation If the water heater has been filled with cold water or if the hot water usage has been very high, normally condensation of the flue gasses will occur on the cold sides of the combustion chamber and the flue tubes. The water drops will fall on to the burner bed which can cause a hissing sound. This is normal and will disappear a[...]
