This manual provides essential instructions for the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of the FBT 2025R08P08-00 Series vertical electric water heater. Always read the manual carefully before use. Ensure the appliance is installed in a frost-free room (minimum 4°C to 5°C). The wall must be capable of supporting the weight of the heater when filled with water. If the ambient temperature exceeds 35°C, the room must be ventilated.
Installation
The heater must be mounted on a wall. For models 150L and 200L, if the wall is not load-bearing, the use of a tripod is mandatory. Use the template provided on the packaging to mark the drilling positions. Ensure there is a clear space of 300 mm below the pipes for models up to 100L, and 480 mm for larger capacities to allow for future heating element replacement.
Hydraulic Connection
A new safety device conforming to EN 1487 (0.7 or 0.8 MPa pressure) must be installed at the water inlet. Connect the safety valve to a discharge pipe, kept in a frost-free environment, with a continuous downward slope to drain water during heating or emptying. Use PTFE tape or hemp for fixed threaded parts.
Electrical Connection
The electrical installation must include an all-pole cut-off device (circuit breaker or fuse) upstream of the device. Earthing is mandatory. Connect the plug to a 220-240V 50/60Hz wall socket.
Commissioning
Open the water supply and a hot water tap to purge air from the pipes. The heater is full when cold water flows from the hot water tap. Check all connections for leaks before powering on. Never turn on the heater without water, as this will damage the heating element and void the warranty.
Usage
The water heater is factory-set to an optimal temperature. You can adjust the temperature using the knob. For models 30L to 100L, turn the knob towards '+' to increase or '-' to decrease the temperature. Wait several days between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
Maintenance
User maintenance includes cleaning the exterior with a soft, dry cloth and operating the safety device monthly to prevent scaling. Maintenance by a qualified person includes replacing the magnesium anode every two years or when depleted, and replacing the heating element or gasket if necessary. Always disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance.
