13 2.1.3 Gas connection The gas supply to this appliance must be installed in accordance with BS 6891 (1988). Fit the 1/2" gas supply cock supplied with this unit immediately before the gas control block. No heat or soldered joints should be applied in the vicinity of the gas control block, as they could cause damage to the control. All connec[...]

14 2.2 Commissioning 2.2.1 Filling the water heater 1. Close the drain tap. 2. Open the cold water tap to the water heater and open all taps where hot water can be drained for de- aeration. The water heater is filled as soon as cold water flows from all taps. 3. Close all hot water taps. 2.2.2 Putting into operation 1. Check whether the water-heate[...]

15 2.2.3 Removing and replacing the inner door (only for the EQB 115 and EQB 155 models, see Figure 7a). Procedure: 1. Place lip A through the recess on the right and subsequently slide it down behind the steel wall. See to it that both lower lips remain in front of the metal wall. 2. Press lip B through the recess on the left. 3. Subsequently slid[...]

16 recommended to also close the cold water tap and to drain the appliance after cooling (open the drain tap; it is possible to connect a drain hose to the drain tap; open the nearest hot water drain point to prevent air locks). To be able to drain the appliance completely it should be disconnected and tilted slightly in the direction of the drain [...]

17 2.6 Setting the nominal heat input The gas control has been factory preset to the water heater nominal heat input. A further check of the burner pressure should be carried out during the commissioning of the unit after installation. The following procedure should be followed. 1. Remove the protruding cover screw on the right side of the gas cont[...]

19 2.8.1 Sacrificial anode The life cycle of the anode is determined by the quality and the quantity of the water flowing through the apparatus. It is therefore recommended that the anode be inspected and replaced if necessary at least once a year. 1. Close the stop cock in the cold water supply pipe, 2. Open the nearest hot water tap in order to a[...]

20 2.8.2 Cleaning 1. Close the gas supply and demount the burner after it has cooled down, 2. Disconnect the burner, pilot pipe and thermo couple from the gas control block (see Figure 11), 3. Remove the complete burner assembly, 4. Clean the burner with a soft brush. 5. Check the pilot burner and clean it if so required, 6. Check the combustion ch[...]

21 2.10 Fault finding In case of failure the following should be checked. 2.10.1 Safety thermostat All appliances have been fitted with a safety thermostat that shuts off the gas supply when the water temperature is too high. The safety thermostat remains activated until the water temperature drops below the safety temperature. The water heater mus[...]

22 3. FOR THE USER 3.1 Commissioning Warning Installing and commissioning (for the first time) of this water heater should only be carried out by a qualified competent heating engineer. 3.1.1 Filling the water heater 1. Close the drain tap. 2. Open the cold water tap to the water heater and open all taps where hot water can be drained for de- aerat[...]

23 and tilted slightly in the direction of the drain tap. 3.1.5 Maintenance The inlet combination has to be tested regularly by relieving it (via the relief button). The water has to flow out in a forceful jet. Check whether the discharge pipe is open. We recommend a service agreement on an annual basis. To be able to order spare parts it is import[...]
