8.1 Precautions before installation

The electric water heater should be positioned and installed according to the user's environmental conditions and
comprehensive consideration of the following factors:
● Avoid places where �ammable gas leaks or environments with strong corrosive gases;
● Avoid places where strong electricity and strong magnetic �elds could directly affect;
● Avoid areas exposed to direct sunlight, rain and wind;
● Try to avoid places prone to vibration;
● Try to shorten the distance between the electric water heater and the water intake location. If it exceeds 3 meters,
the hot water pipeline should be insulated to reduce the heat loss of the pipeline;
● There must be a �oor drain with sufficient drainage capacity near the installation site to avoid failure to drain;
● To facilitate future repairs, maintenance, relocation, etc., a certain space must be reserved around the installation
● The bearing capacity of the installation surface should be no less than 4 times the total mass of the electric water
heater to ensure safety;
● Leakage protection switches must be installed, or the �xed lines connected to them must be equipped with such
devices;
● The location of the leakage protection switch should be placed in a safe place where there will be no risk of electric
shock and where water cannot be splashed. Check the leakage protection switch used in the electric water heater by
visual inspection and using specialized measuring devices (phase meter, test pen, grounding resistance meter, etc.) to
ensure that the live wire and neutral wire are installed correctly and grounded reliably, and ensure that the grounding
resistance of the building's ground wire is less than 4Ω;
● Check whether the capacity of the electricity meter, wires, and leakage protection switch meets the requirements of
the electric water heater;
● Make sure that the tap water pressure is not less than 0.05 MPa and that the maximum pressure does not exceed
0.6 MPa. Check the tap water pressure witha pressure gauge, if the tap water pressure is greater than 0.6 MPa,
a pressure reducing valve should be installed on the inlet pipe;
● Electric water heaters should be installed indoors where the ambient temperature is above 0
