1. Prodott Aktarview

The EXCEL Tankless Gas Water Heater is designed to provide instant hot water for various applications, including small apartments, lofts, flats, RVs, and mobile homes. This unit operates on Propane (LPG) and features exclusive low water pressure startup technology, requiring only 2 PSI of water pressure to activate. Its vent-free design eliminates the need for complex and costly flue installations, making it a convenient and energy-efficient solution for on-demand hot water.

Karatteristiċi ewlenin:

• Propane Gas (LPG) Unit: Designed for use with liquid propane gas.
• Low Water Pressure Startup: Activates with as little as 2 PSI of water pressure, ideal for areas with fluctuating water supply. This is achieved through a magnetic water flow sensor, unlike older units that rely on rubber diaphragms requiring higher pressure.
• Vent-Free Technology: Does not require a traditional flue or ductwork for exhaust. Equipped with an Oxygen Depletion Safety (ODS) shutoff and an exclusive 20-minute safety shutoff feature for indoor installation with proper ventilation.
• Daqs kompatt: Dimensions are approximately 12.8 inches (front width) x 8 inches (depth) x 18.75 inches (height), allowing for flexible installation.
• Tqabbid Awtomatiku: Powered by 2 D-size batteries (included) for automatic ignition upon water flow.
• Energy and Water Saving: Delivers hot water instantly, reducing waste.

Passi ta' Installazzjoni:

1. Immuntar: Securely mount the unit to a wall using appropriate hardware. Ensure the mounting surface can support the weight of the unit when filled with water.
2. Konnessjonijiet tal-Ilma:
   • Connect the cold water supply line to the Daħla tal-Ilma Kiesaħ.
   • Connect the hot water output line to the Żbokk tal-Ilma sħun.
   • Ensure all water connections are tight and leak-free. Use appropriate sealing tape or compound.
3. Konnessjoni tal-gass:
   • Connect the Propane (LPG) gas supply line to the Dħul tal-gass. The unit includes an LPG Brass Fitting for a ⅜" Flare connection.
   • Verify all gas connections are secure and test for leaks using a soapy water solution.
4. Installazzjoni tal-batterija: Open the battery box and insert two D-size batteries. Ensure correct polarity. These batteries power the automatic ignition system.
5. Ventilazzjoni: For indoor installations, ensure the area has adequate ventilation as this is a vent-free appliance.

4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

Follow these steps to operate your EXCEL Tankless Gas Water Heater.

Istartjar Inizjali:

1. Ensure all water and gas connections are properly made and leak-free.
2. Iftaħ il-valv prinċipali tal-provvista tal-gass.
3. Open a hot water faucet in your system. The unit will detect water flow (as low as 2 PSI) and automatically ignite.
4. Allow water to run for a few moments to purge any air from the lines.

Operazzjoni ta' Kuljum:

• To get hot water, simply open any hot water faucet connected to the unit. The heater will automatically ignite and begin heating water as it flows through.
• The unit is designed for a temperature rise of approximately 45°F, delivering 1.6 Gallons Per Minute (GPM).
• While suitable for multiple points of use, it is recommended to use no more than one point of use at a time for optimal performance.
• For incoming cold water temperatures below 50°F (down to 40°F), you may need to reduce the water flow rate using the control knob to achieve desired hot water temperature.
• The unit features a 20-minute safety shutoff. If hot water is continuously drawn for more than 20 minutes, the unit will automatically shut off. To restart, close the hot water faucet and then reopen it.

5. Manutenzjoni

Manutenzjoni regolari tiżgura l-lonġevità u t-tħaddim effiċjenti tal-water heater tiegħek.

Kontrolli ta' Rutina:

• Sostituzzjoni tal-batterija: Replace the two D-size batteries annually, or if the ignition becomes inconsistent. Use high-quality alkaline batteries.
• Spezzjoni tat-tnixxija: Periodically check all water and gas connections for leaks. For gas leaks, use a soapy water solution.
• Tindif ta' barra: Naddaf il-barra tal-unità b'artab, damp drapp. Tużax tindif jew solventi li joborxu.

Winterization (Freezing Protection):

If the unit will be exposed to freezing temperatures, it is crucial to drain all water from the system to prevent damage.

1. Itfi l-provvista tal-gass lill-unità.
2. Itfi l-provvista tal-ilma kiesaħ lejn l-unità.
3. Open a hot water faucet in your system to relieve pressure.
4. Sib il- Winter Drain valve at the bottom of the unit (refer to Figure 3.2). Open this valve to drain the water from the heat exchanger.
5. Once drained, close the drain valve.
