2.2 Technical features
The water heater is equipped with a 5 litre water container and a three-way mixing valve
which ist fitted with a G V
2 A (R V 2 ) connecting thread. The appliance may be used only as
an open, non-pressurized unit.
Thermofix E: Enamelled steel water container. Automatic switch-off in the „warr^“ and
„hot“ temperature ranges and continuous heating in the „boiling“ range.
Thermofix EL: Enamelled steel water container. Automatic switch-off in the „warm“ and
„hot“ temperature ranges. In the „boiling“ range the appliance switches itself off auto­
matically and switches itself on again when the temperature drops below boiling point.
Thermofix GL: Glass water container, temperature control as on Thermofix EL.
2.3 Installing the appliance
The water heater should be installed only in a room which is free from frost. If the ap­
pliance is nevertheless exposed to frost, make sure that it is completely emptied.
Securing the wall mounting bracket
Using the mounting template supplied, mark the posi­
tions of the screwholes for fixing the wall mounting
bracket. Now fix the bracket to the wall by means of wall
plugs and suitable woodscrews, making sure that the
bracket is perfectly horizontal. The oblong holes permit
lateral and vertical adjustment.
Important! If the water heater is to replace an applian­
ce of another make, you can use a universal wall su­
spension bracket which is available as an accessory (E-
N
0 . 612 899 300, illustration on page 14). If this wall
suspension bracket is used, there will be need to drill
new mounting holes.
Fitting the three-way mixing valve
The mixing valve Is fitted with a DIN ISO 288 G V 2 A thread for connection to the water
supply.
The thread must be properly wound with hemp or silicon sealing tape. Slide the cover
plate over the water pipe and then, using a suitable open-ended wrench, screw the mi­
xing valve into the water pipe. With the last turn align the mixing valve in such a way that
the flow control screw is pointing downwards. Attach the swivel spout to the underside
of the mixing valve by means of the cap nut.
Fitting the water container
Push the cap nut of the pinch-type fitting, together with
the washer and the expanding seal, onto the inlet and
outlet tube of the water container.
Attach the inlet and outlet tubes of the appliance to the
mixing valve, at the same time guiding the screws of the
rear angle bracket into the oblong holes of the wall
mounting bracket.
The wall clearance and the vertical position of the ap­
pliance can be adjusted by means of the oblong holes.
Once adjustment has been made, tighten the screws of
the wall mounting bracket and the cap nut of the pinch-
type fitting.
