3. Configurazione e installazione

Professional installation is highly recommended for this appliance to ensure safety and proper function.

3.1. Selezione della posizione

• Choose a location close to the point of use to minimize heat loss.
• Assicurarsi che il luogo sia protetto dalle temperature gelide.
• The unit can be mounted in any orientation (vertical or horizontal).

3.2. Montaggio

Securely mount the unit to a solid surface using appropriate fasteners. Refer to the mounting template (if provided with the physical product) for precise hole placement.

3.3. Collegamenti idraulici

• Connect the cold water supply line to the inlet port and the hot water outlet line to the outlet port.
• Utilizzare raccordi idraulici adeguati e assicurarsi che tutti i collegamenti siano a tenuta stagna.
• Flush the water heater thoroughly before connecting to the electrical supply to remove any air from the system. This prevents dry-firing of the heating elements.

3.4. Collegamenti elettrici

AVVERTIMENTO: Tutti i lavori elettrici devono essere eseguiti da un elettricista autorizzato.

• Ensure the main power supply to the circuit is turned OFF at the breaker panel before making any connections.
• Connect the unit to a dedicated 120 Volt, 20 Amp circuito.
• Use 12-2 gauge wiring for the electrical connection.
• Follow the wiring diagram provided inside the unit's cover for correct connections (Line, Neutral, Ground).

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

The Eemax FlowCo SPEX2412 operates automatically on demand. There are no user-adjustable temperature controls on this non-thermostatic model.

• Attivazione: The unit activates automatically when water flow is detected.
• Erogazione di acqua calda: Hot water is delivered continuously as long as water is flowing through the unit.
• Uscita temperatura: The output water temperature is dependent on the incoming water temperature and the flow rate. Higher flow rates will result in lower temperature increases. The maximum output temperature is approximately 130°F (54°C).
• Efficienza energetica: The unit only consumes power when hot water is being used, contributing to energy savings.
