How to set up an electrolux gas water heater

Preparing to set up a water heater

Although there are instructions for the Bosch, Selena and Neva gas water heaters on how to set them up correctly, not everyone understands how to do this. Having made a mistake at the very beginning, the device begins to work not as it should. You should start by regulating the water supply.

First of all, adjust the water regulation. If you do it at the last moment, then all the settings will be incorrect. The flow must be the smallest . The values can be found in the documentation, they are usually 6, 10 and 12 liters.

The main thing is that there is only one tap for work.

Starting the device and adjusting the temperature

To correctly set up hot water in the device, you must:

Open the hot water mixer fully;
Using the water switch, select the required temperature value;
Close the tap.

According to the advice of professionals:

Wait for the moment when the pressure in the line drops, but the column will still work;
Turn the water toggle handle to the maximum;
Turn the gas regulator to the minimum value until the temperature is as desired.

For final preparation, it is worth adjusting the gas supply. To do this, you need to look at the technical data sheet and find out the minimum value for this brand.

The toggle switch is turned to the minimum value.

Turn on the gas supply valve. At the gas water heater, Electrolux and Ariston do this after connecting to the network. The Oasis, Junkers and Bosch gas water heaters are connected when the batteries are installed.

The hot valve is turned on and the device starts working.

How to adjust the water temperature

Turn on the mixer and check the water heating temperature. It must be twenty-five degrees more than the original one. It is worth noting that the water in a gas boiler heats up gradually. The geyser is adjusted using the gas lever.

Reference! You can also adjust the temperature using the water toggle switch. If the flow force increases, the heating temperature will decrease.

Professionals do not recommend heating water above fifty-five degrees. This has a bad effect on the device, as scale forms.

Blood pressure problems

Setting up a geyser requires some time. Accordingly, the result will be visible later. After each stage, it is worth pouring out the water and letting it heat up again so that the values are correct. Low pressure in the device may interfere with normal operation.

If you have problems with blood pressure, you should perform the following manipulations:

Remove the casing from the device;
Loosen the locking bolt, use a pressure gauge to check;
Remove the seal from the adjusting screw;
Turn on the boiler;
Set the values to maximum, unscrew the hot water supply taps;
Adjust the desired pressure.

The Bosch gas water heater, namely its pressure in the nozzles, is regulated in the following way:

Remove the casing;
Attach a pressure gauge;
Loosen the locking screw;
Attach a pressure gauge to check the pressure in the injectors to the nozzle.

Next, the Bosch gas water heater with maximum thermal power is regulated:

Remove the seal from the screw;
Turn on the device;
Hot water taps are turned on;
The adjusting screw adjusts the pressure in the nozzles;
Put the seal in place.

There are brands that have a special “Winter-Summer” mode with temperature adjustment. This handle was made at the bottom of the Ariston gas water heater. Adjustment of the Oasis gas water heater is located on the front panel. The peculiarity of the mode is that in winter the power is higher than in summer. The heating power of the liquid in the column is directly related to the temperature of the inlet stream. In winter, the regulator is set to “maximum”, the heating will be at its highest. In summer, the temperature of the inlet flow is higher and is set to the minimum position. This saves resources.

It is easy to remove bad pressure when checking.

To do this, you must perform the following manipulations if the device has already been used:

Pay attention to the rubber membrane. The performance of this part is directly related to the pressure in the line. At the moment the integrity of the membrane is broken, namely when it is exhausted, gas does not flow and the burner does not turn on. The problem is solved by replacing the part.
Pay attention to the mesh filter. It is located at the entrance to the water block. The water pressure becomes lower due to debris clogging the part. The problem is solved by cleaning.

Device features and purpose

The Electrolux geyser is reliable and has a well-thought-out design. The design is energy-intensive and in a minimalist style. There are toggle switch handles on the body - they are used to switch modes, adjust heating power, and water supply. The throughput capacity of the devices is about 16 liters of water in one minute, but much depends on the model, please check. The purpose is universal, there are no restrictions in terms of installation objects. Exhaust system – any.

Structurally, the Electrolux geyser consists of:

That is, the device of the Electrolux geyser is relatively simple, all devices are repairable. The equipment is ideally adapted to the needs of the Russian market and is calm about a sharp decrease in pressure in water and gas systems.

The main purpose of the installations is to supply hot water. Electrolux geysers can be installed in residential and commercial premises.

Power

Electrolux automatic water heaters come in three performance categories:

The more powerful the installation, the more expensive it is. There is no point in paying just like that anymore, but you need to understand that a device of the 1st degree of performance simply cannot cope with heavy loads.

Control

Manual adjustment is not the most convenient option, since the water pressure in the system is constantly changing. Electrolux water heaters are equipped with modulated power burners that automatically regulate the gas supply.

Ignition type

Among the features of the brand's geysers are the type of ignition.

Possible options:

Good to know. Piezo ignition is the most modern and popular option. The device has a special button for quick activation. The method is not suitable for models installed at a distance from the access point (that is, it is difficult for a person to reach the button).

Safety

The Electrolux VPG geyser and other series are equipped with a 3 or 4 level security system. This ensures precise, quick shutdown of the unit in the event of incorrect operating input parameters.

How to adjust the flame of a gas water heater

Another way to set up a gas water heater is to adjust the flame. On the body of semi-automatic and automatic machines there is a handle designed to adjust the gas. With its help, the supply of blue fuel increases and decreases. The power of the device is directly related to this part.

As soon as the flame becomes larger, the gas consumption will be higher and the water will heat up better. Professionals advise changing the gas transmission speed to properly set the burner. As soon as the burning intensity is selected, the knob for changing the water pressure is applied. In order to change the combustion temperature, it is worth changing the “Winter-Summer” mode.

Adjusting the igniter of the gas water heater will help reduce gas costs in semi-automatic machines. The wick is adjusted using the bolt on the pilot burner. You should be careful when making settings. If you reduce the flame of the gas water heater's igniter too much, the device will stop working. If the flame increases excessively, excess gas consumption will occur.

Setting details

These devices have only one geyser temperature regulator. Thanks to it, the heating temperature and power are adjusted. The self-diagnosis system evaluates the operation of the components when turned on. If there are problems, the red light comes on and the device is blocked from starting. Then it is necessary to adjust the water pressure.

Then you need:

Remove batteries from the compartment;
Turn off the microswitch;
Provide a source of electricity;
Turn on the hot tap and turn on the microswitch;
The pressure on the burner should be maximum;
After saving the settings, the orange lamp will turn on.

In other columns, the water temperature is adjusted by turning the toggle switch and controlling the strength of the water flow.

Important! When adjusting, it is prohibited to exceed the maximum temperature specified in the instructions.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to easily set the settings according to the instructions. Each system has different meanings. If you have difficulties setting up the gas water heater temperature regulator with your own hands, you should turn to professionals.

All the advantages of installations

The Electrolux water heater has the following advantages over other similar equipment:

There are no shortcomings as such, but if the assembly is Chinese, then “nuances” are possible. It is assembly errors that cause problems with switching on poor heating.

Errors during operation of the gas water heater: what to do

Even the highest quality technology is not eternal and not ideal.

Let's look at the main equipment errors and tell you what to do to eliminate them:

Certain fault codes may be displayed, each with its own meaning.

Examples:

Poor pressure

Let's look at what affects the water pressure in a gas water heater:

Presence of blockages. Every pipe through which water moves tends to become clogged with debris. If we take an Electrolux geyser as an example, the blockage occurs in the mesh filter filled with lime and rust. If the water flow is low, the pressure will be minimal.
Engineering works. In this case, scale appears inside the heat exchanger. When the water is shut off and the water unit of the gas water heater resumes operation, a “water hammer” occurs, after which some of the scale penetrates into the mixer and forms a blockage.
Device power. For Bosch geysers and other models, the power of the device is important. It will create good pressure in the system. If the power of the device is less than eight, then the pressure will be minimal. For good operation of the geyser water unit, it is worth purchasing a device with a power of eight to ten kilowatts.
Scale. It usually occurs in metal containers in which water is brought to a boil. In a gas water heater, the heat exchanger is considered a tank. With hard water, scale forms on its walls, which subsequently moves into the tubes, due to which the pressure decreases.
Preventive actions. Any device, including a geyser, needs regular maintenance, namely the prevention of blockages. In most cases, a decrease in water pressure occurs due to careless use of the device.

How to solve a problem

If the filter is clogged, you should remove this part from the device. Clean it with a stiff brush and water. If, during cleaning, a violation of the integrity of the filter is noticed, it is worth replacing the part with a similar one.

If the hot water pipe is clogged, you should run cold water in the opposite direction. The plug is removed, a container is placed under the device under water and both taps are turned out. The spout is closed with your finger. It is considered possible that cold water will push the clog forward.

It is not recommended to use chemicals that remove scale from the column. Their composition can easily destroy the metal surface. The best option is to use citric acid, which is dissolved in hot water.

If the blockage has advanced further than the pipes, it can easily penetrate into the faucet. The most “vulnerable” places where blockages mainly appear are considered to be a thin rubber hose, a filter and a faucet. The problem can be solved by disassembling the mixer and performing a thorough inspection. Dirt is removed using running water.

What malfunctions do the Neva Lux dispenser have?

The display of the Neva Lux geyser indicates an error code when problems occur.

Common fault codes that also occur at the Neva Transit gas water heater:

E7. After seven attempts to turn on the device, it goes out or does not work at all. The problem lies in the failure of the electric valves, the accumulation of soot on the electrode, the mixing of the ionization sensor, or the gas block boiling. The solution is to replace faulty parts or clean the soot with a brush.

L0. Insufficient fuel supply.

Causes:

Poor water pressure;
Decrease in temperature;
Exceeding the pressure of the gas water heater Neva Lux.

The problem can be solved by adjusting the temperature, installing a reduction gear and descaling the radiator.

E0. The device turned off on its own. Fuel does not move into the device. The solution is to check the gas valve of the Neva Lux gas water heater. In most cases, the gas supply stopped for some time.

E8. Malfunction related to the traction sensor. It is usually associated with a clogged chimney or a broken sensor. The solution is to clean the chimney from soot yourself or with the help of utility services, or replace the sensor with a new one, as well as check the tightness of its contacts.

Possible malfunctions and ways to eliminate them

Sometimes problems occur in the operation of Electrolux geysers. But serious malfunctions rarely occur; in many cases they can be fixed on your own. Models with electronic control show an error code, this allows you to figure out in time what is wrong and avoid serious damage. It is worth paying attention to the following indications on the display:

E0 means that the device has overheated and the temperature sensor has tripped; professional repair may be required;
E1 indicates the need to replace batteries;
E2 is an ionization sensor; it can work if the flame is not burning.

There are two most common faults that are easy to fix. They do not indicate a breakdown of the column, but arise due to its improper operation. Most often, users notice that the column has stopped lighting up. This can happen in the absence of traction. It needs to be checked and, if necessary, the chimney and ventilation should be cleaned. The device will also not light up if the water is not open. Models with electric ignition may stop turning on if the batteries are low.

It also happens that the water does not heat up well. To eliminate this malfunction, you need to adjust the gas supply or water pressure. This can be done on the device itself or simply reduce the water supply to the tap.

If you smell gas in a room where the heater is running, you cannot fix this problem yourself. The column must be turned off and a specialist must be called.

Preparatory work

Despite the fact that each column “Selena”, “Vector”, “Bosch”, “Neva” comes with instructions indicating the settings, not all users understand them. One mistake at the beginning - and the technology does not function as it should.

Work begins with adjusting the water. If you do not do this right away, then all settings will be inaccurate. The flow should be minimal. The nominal values are indicated in the documents, but they are general: 6, 10, 12 liters.

How to set the hot water regulator:

Open the hot mixer to full power. When connecting to several intake points, only one valve can be unscrewed.
Using the water switch, set the desired value.
Turn on the tap.

Follow the recommendations of experts:

Wait until the pressure in the line decreases, but the column will still turn on.
Turn the water toggle knob to the maximum position.
Turn the gas regulator to the minimum mark until the temperature suits you.

To finish cooking, you need to adjust the gas supply. Check the data sheet again to find out the minimum value for your model.

Turn the toggle switch to minimum.
Open the gas valve. In the Ariston and Electrolux models, this must be done after connecting to the network. In Oasis, Dion, Bosch, Junkers heaters - after installing batteries.
Open the hot valve and the column will start working.

Adjusting the water temperature

Open the mixer and evaluate the heating temperature of the water flow. It should be 25 degrees higher than at the entrance. Keep in mind that the gas boiler does not heat the water immediately, you need to wait a little. Use the gas lever to adjust.

You can also adjust the temperature using a water toggle switch. By increasing the flow force, you reduce the heating temperature, and vice versa.

Experts do not recommend heating above 55 degrees. This negatively affects the operation of the device, since scale is actively deposited.

The settings take some time, so you don’t need to wait for the results right away. After each stage, you need to drain the water and let it heat up again to check the accuracy of the indicators. Operation may be hampered by reduced pressure in the system.

If the device runs on liquefied gas and there are problems with pressure, do this:

Remove the device casing.
Loosen the locking bolt and measure the readings with a pressure gauge.
Remove the seal from the adjustment screw.
Start the boiler.
Set the maximum values, unscrew all hot water faucets.
Set the required pressure.

Some models are equipped with an additional “Winter-Summer” mode. The heating power of the water in the column depends on the temperature of the inlet flow. In winter, the regulator is set to the “maximum” position - maximum heating. In summer, the inlet temperature is higher, so the value is “minimum”. This saves resources.

Problems with poor water pressure can be corrected by checking. If the equipment has already been in operation and you decide to reconfigure it, but there is no pressure:

Check the rubber membrane. Its operation depends on the pressure in the line. The membrane bends and the gas valve is activated. When it wears out or becomes deformed, the gas supply does not start and the burner does not light up. Replace the membrane.
Mesh filter. Located at the entrance to the water reducer (block). It becomes clogged with small debris from the water supply, so the pressure may decrease. Clean the part.

Popular models

The Italian corporation is known throughout the world as a manufacturer of advanced, reliable, high-quality equipment. Brand devices are popular in Russia, CIS countries and the EU. Let's look at the most popular models.

How to use an Electrolux speaker

All Electrolux gas water heaters operate in automatic mode. The internal structure is thought out to the smallest detail, making operation as comfortable as possible. When the DHW tap is opened, the automatic system is activated and the main burner is ignited. Hot water reaches the consumer within 10-15 seconds. After closing the tap, the flame dies out.

How to turn on an Electrolux speaker

Almost all leading manufacturers of instantaneous gas water heaters indicate in their operating instructions that installation must be performed by a qualified specialist. In domestic joint ventures and SNiP there is a similar instruction. In accordance with existing standards, connecting with your own hands is prohibited. If you perform a self-installation, then the next time you contact a service center, you should not expect free service. You will have to pay for all work, even if the warranty period has not yet passed.

According to current regulations, the connection can be made by:

representatives of the company that sold the water heater;

Poor water heating.

The main burner goes out during operation.

There is a smell of gas.

gas service specialists.

A mark and seal is placed in the boiler passport about connecting and putting the device into operation.

There are several basic connection rules:

installation is carried out in accordance with the rules described in SNiP and SP;

the first launch is carried out in the presence of a Gas Service inspector;

be sure to withstand gaps between the stove, refrigerator, and sink;

installation is carried out in strict accordance with the gas supply project;

the room used as a boiler room must meet the minimum requirements: height 2.2 m, area of at least 12 m², presence of a vent or opening window.

The column is supplied with fastening elements and an anchor plate. The column is hung on a wall made of dense solid building materials.

How to set up an Electrolux speaker

For adjustment, there are mechanical regulators for the flow of water and gas on the front side of the water heater casing. Most Electrolux speakers have an LED display connected to a heating sensor that shows the water temperature.

To change the power, increase or decrease the gas supply, changing the intensity of the flame, focusing on the digital indicators displayed on the screen.

In the Electrolux gas water heater with flame modulation, adjustments are made according to a different principle. The user sets the required water heating temperature. The programmer independently changes the burner power, adapting to the actual pressure in the water supply system.

How to clean an Electrolux speaker

There are several parts that are most susceptible to contamination:

heat exchanger of the Electrolux column - inside the tubes become overgrown with scale, outside the radiator is covered with soot;

burner - the jets become clogged with soot.

You can clean an Electrolux geyser yourself at home only after the factory warranty has expired. Before this period, it is better to contact the service center to receive free service.

During the repair, the technician will remove the column casing, disconnect the heat exchanger and remove the burner. The coil is washed using special chemicals under pressure. The radiator fins are washed with ordinary soapy water. The burner is cleaned with a metal awl. The work is carried out by a qualified specialist who has access and the appropriate license.

Safety precautions and operating rules

In order for the geyser to work as long as possible, you must comply with the requirements for the use of hot water. The most expensive part of the device is the thermostat. It is made of copper, reliable and durable, but is susceptible to scale formation as a result of constant contact with hot water.

If possible, do not set the maximum operating temperature - 45-50 degrees is enough for taking a bath or shower, and this temperature is safe for the speaker itself.

To adjust the values, there is a tap on the right side of the control display. This approach will allow you to avoid too sudden pressure surges and premature failure of the structure.

Another point is increased water hardness. To correct it, you need to use a cleaning system. If you do not do this, magnesium and calcium salts will quickly create scale in the thermostat. A filter is a relatively small cost, but it is guaranteed to extend the service life of the equipment.

Important! The presence of a filter does not guarantee the absence of scale; it forms, just in smaller quantities.

Since it is impossible to prevent scale formation 100%, you need to do regular cleaning of the column. The optimal frequency of the procedure is every 6-12 months.

Some people do the work on their own, while other users turn to professional craftsmen. During scheduled maintenance, you need to remove scale from the thermostat and carbon deposits from the burner.

It is also necessary to follow safety precautions. First, carefully study the operating instructions for your model - it will describe in detail the features of installation, switching on, switching off, possible emergency situations and methods for eliminating them.

Key points to consider:

Regular checking of the draft is mandatory - to do this, bring a match to the chimney and determine the quality of the draft by the movement of the flame. If the flame does not go out or remains in place, the column is faulty. The check should be done at least once a quarter, and if problems are detected, immediately contact specialists.
To install devices, choose convenient, child-proof, non-accessible places. A window should be open near the column during its operation, and the door in the room should have a hole a couple of centimeters at the bottom to remove possible combustion products.
It is strictly prohibited to make changes to the design of the column without permission or with your own hands.
Some parts of the equipment are hot; touching them with bare hands is highly undesirable, as there is a risk of getting burned.
If you smell gas in the room, turn off the power to the equipment and turn off electrical appliances.

You must not obstruct access to communications or hang ropes. If the dispensers are not used in unheated rooms during the cold season, the water must be removed from them.
