Installation
Tjekliste før installation
- Verify that the electrical supply meets the heater's requirements (120V, 1440W).
- Ensure a dedicated 15 AMP circuit breaker is available for the unit.
- Confirm water pressure is within the acceptable range (max 150 PSI).
- Gather necessary tools: pipe wrench, Teflon tape, screwdriver, drill (if wall mounting), and appropriate fasteners.
- Vælg et sted, der er let tilgængeligt for vedligeholdelse og beskyttet mod frost.
Monteringsmuligheder
The Ranein WarmSlim water heater can be installed either under a sink or wall-mounted. Ensure the chosen location can support the weight of the unit when full of water.
Under-Sink Installation
- Position the heater in the desired location under the sink, ensuring adequate clearance for plumbing connections and future maintenance.
- Secure the unit to the cabinet floor or wall using appropriate fasteners (not included) to prevent movement.
Vægmonteret installation
- Mark the mounting points on the wall, ensuring the unit will be level and securely supported.
- Drill pilot holes and install appropriate wall anchors (if necessary) and mounting screws, leaving them slightly extended.
- Carefully lift the water heater and hang it onto the mounting screws, then tighten the screws to secure the unit.
VVS tilslutninger
- Sluk for hovedvandforsyningen til installationsområdet.
- Connect the cold water inlet (marked with a blue cap) to the cold water supply line using 1/2" NPT fittings and Teflon tape for a watertight seal.
- Connect the hot water outlet (marked with a red cap) to the hot water faucet line using 1/2" NPT fittings and Teflon tape.
- Install the pressure relief valve (PRV) into the designated port on the top of the unit. Apply Teflon tape to the threads and tighten securely.
- Route the PRV discharge pipe to an open drain, ensuring it has a continuous downward slope and is not obstructed.
Elektrisk tilslutning
- Ensure all plumbing connections are complete and checked for leaks before connecting power.
- Securely plug the water heater's power cord into a grounded 120V electrical outlet.
- Verify that the circuit breaker for this outlet is rated for 15 AMPS.

Operation
Indledende opstart
- After all plumbing connections are complete, slowly open the cold water supply valve to the water heater.
- Open a hot water faucet in your system (e.g., kitchen sink) to allow air to escape from the tank.
- Once water flows steadily from the hot water faucet without sputtering, close the faucet. This indicates the tank is full.
- Plug in the water heater or turn on the circuit breaker to supply power to the unit.
Temperaturjustering
The water heater features a digital display and a rotary knob for precise temperature control.
- The digital display will show the current water temperature inside the tank.
- Rotate the knob to adjust the desired temperature. The temperature can be set between 86°F (30°C) and 167°F (75°C).
- The unit will begin heating to the set temperature. The "Heating" indicator light will illuminate during this process.
- Once the set temperature is reached, the "Insulation" indicator light will illuminate, and the unit will maintain the water temperature.

Opretholdelse
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance, energy efficiency, and extends the lifespan of your water heater. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
Tømning af tanken
If the unit will be unused for an extended period, or if there is a risk of freezing temperatures, it is recommended to drain the tank:
- Turn off the power supply to the water heater at the circuit breaker.
- Turn off the cold water supply valve to the heater.
- Open a hot water faucet in your system to relieve internal pressure.
- Carefully open the pressure relief valve to allow the tank to drain. Ensure the discharge pipe is directed to a suitable drain.
- Once drained, close the PRV and hot water faucet.
Rensning
Tør jævnligt enhedens yderside af med enamp klud. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler, opløsningsmidler eller stærke kemikalier, da disse kan beskadige overfladen.
