A service should be carried out at least once a year, both on the water side and  
on the gas side. Maintenance frequency depends, among other things, on the  
water quality, the average burning time per day and the set water temperature.  
1.5 Maintenance  
Note  
To determine the correct maintenance frequency, it is recommended to  
arrange for the service and maintenance engineer to check the appliance on  
both the water and gas side within three months following installation. Based on  
this check, the best maintenance frequency can be determined.  
Note  
Regular maintenance extends the service life of the appliance.  
Note  
Both the end user and the service and maintenance engineer are

In this appliance, the cold water enters the bottom of the storage tank through  
the cold water inlet (24). The system pump (22) ensures that the water flows into  
the appliance. The water is heated by the heat exchanger (20) in the  
combustion chamber (19).  
The heated water leaves the appliance via the return valve (26) and then, once  
heated, flows into the storage tank (32).  
To prevent condensation from forming in the appliance, the water that flows into  
o
it via the supply line (25) must not be colder than 30 C. This will only be the case  
the very first time, or after it has been shut down for a long period.  
Once the appliance and the storage tank are completely filled with water, they  
are permanently pressurised by the water pipes. As hot water is drawn from the  
storage tank, cold water is immediately added.  
Water flows into the appliance through the ribbed elements (20). This ribbing  
ensures better heat transfer. There are aluminium strips (4) on these elements.  
These slow down the flue gases, improving the yield. The air required for  
combustion is forcibly delivered by the fan (10).  
The appliance has two identical gas controls (9) of which one will be open  
(partial load) or both (full load). Thanks to the modulated supply of gas and air  
(8), the optimum gas/air mixture is always achieved. The flue gases are  
removed via the flue gas outlet pipe (6). The air supply and flue gas outlet are  
always in parallel.  
The insulation layer (2) prevents heat loss. To protect against corrosion, the  
storage tank is enamelled on the inside. Anodes provide extra protection  
against corrosion.  
For maintenance, the storage tank has an aperture for inspection and cleaning.  
2.3 The appliance's  
heating cycle  
The appliance uses sensor T (23) to determine whether the water temperature  
3
set (T ) has been reached. When T is lower than the set water temperature  
set  
3
(T ), the electronic controller registers a "heat demand". This will switch the  
set  
system pump on and the flow-through switch (29) will give a signal to the  
controller. The appliance will ignite and the water will be heated. Once T gets  
3
above T , the demand for heat has been met and the electronic control stops  
set  
the heating cycle; the system pump (22) keeps running (12.12 "Setting the  
pump running-on time") for a little while.  
The electronic controller assumes a certain margin when ending a heat  
demand. We refer to this margin as the hysteresis (12.2 "Setting the

2.4.1 Introduction  
The electronic controller monitors the water temperature and ensures safe  
combustion. This is achieved by:  
the Fan  
2.4.2 Water temperature protection

may only be performed if T < 90°C.

2.4.3 Gas control  
When heat is required, the controller (5) opens the left-hand gas control (9) so  
that the gas can flow into the premix bar burners (18) of the first tray of burners.  
The air is mixed in with the gas at the front of the burners. The hot surface igniter  
(17) ignites the leftmost burner. The adjacent burners then ignite from left to  
right.  
If more heat is demanded, the controller opens the second gas control (9) as  
well. There is no separate igniter for the ignition of the second tray of burners.  
The gas controls have two valves as safety devices. The valves shut off the gas  
supply.  
Smooth ignition is achieved by opening the gas controls with a delay ("softlite").  
2.4.4 Fan  
The fan (10) provides an optimum air supply (8) when there is a heat demand.  
This air comes into a separate chamber on the air distribution plate (13).  
Overpressure is created in the space and the air can only escape the appliance  
via the premix bar burners (18).  
As a safety feature, the fan ensures that any gases present in the combustion  
chamber are removed, both before and after combustion. We refer to this as  
pre-purge and post-purge.  
The fan speed is continuously monitored by the electronic controller (5). The  
electronic controller takes control if the speed of rotation varies too much from  
the set value.  
2.4.5 Pressure switch  
The pressure switch (12) guarantees the air supply during pre-purging and  
when the appliance is operational. The standard position of the pressure switch  
is open. When sufficient pressure difference is reached, the pressure switch  
closes. However, in the event of a fault, the pressure switch is tripped open, and  
the heating cycle is interrupted.

Pressure measurements are made at the air distribution plate (high pressure)  
and in a Venturi in the burners (low pressure).  
The table shows the trip point per appliance.

2.4.6 Flame probe  
To ensure that no gas can flow when there is no combustion, the water heater  
has a flame probe (14). The electronic controller uses this probe for flame  
detection, by means of ionisation detection. The electronic control closes the  
gas valve as soon as it detects that no flame is present.  
2.4.7 Flow-through switch  
the flow-through switch (29) guarantees the flow of water through the appliance  
(before operation and while the appliance is running). The standard position of  
the flow-through switch is open. When the flow is sufficient, the switch closes  
and the heating cycle starts. If the flow of water through the appliance gets too  
low, then the switch opens, which interrupts the heating cycle; this is to prevent  
overheating.  
Flow measurement is done in the return line between the appliance and the  
storage tank.

2.5 Safety of the instal-  
lation  
As well as the standard safeties in the appliance (2.4 "Protection for the  
appliance"), it must also be protected by an inlet combination and a pressure-  
reducing valve. A P-valve is also used.  
2.5.1 Unvented installation  
With unvented installation, an expansion valve and expansion vessel prevent  
excessive pressure in appliance. This prevents damage being caused to the  
enamelled coating (in the appliance) or to the heat exchanger. A non-return  
valve prevents excessive pressure build-up in the water supply system. This  
valve also prevents water from flowing backwards from the storage tank into the  
cold water supply system. The pressure-reducing valve protects the installation  
against excessively high water supply pressures (> 8 bar). These components  
are fitted (3.6 "Water connections, Vented") to the cold water pipe.  
2.5.2 Vented installation  
With a vented installation, excess pressure is taken up by the open water tank.  
The height of the head tank determines the working pressure in the appliance,  
which may not exceed 8 bar. The appliance must also be fitted with a vent pipe  
from the hot water pipe, which opens into the cold water tank.  
Normally, the vent pipe should discharge into a separate discharge  
channel/drain or otherwise to the open cold water head tank. The appliance  
should also be fitted with a stop valve (3.6.2 "Hot water side") on the hot water  
side.  
2.5.3 Inlet combination and pressure-reducing valve  
An excessively high pressure in the storage tank can damage the enamelled  
layer. An inlet combination and pressure-reducing valve prevents this. The inlet  
combination acts as a stop valve, non-return valve and overflow valve. If the  
water supply pressure is too high (> 8 bar), a pressure-reducing valve must be  
used. Both components must be fitted in the cold water supply (3.6 "Water  
2.5.4 P-valve  
The appliance has a P-valve (33) as standard. A P-valve (Pressure Relief Valve)  
monitors the pressure in the installation. If the pressure gets too high (> 10 bar),  
the valve will open. The water can now flow out of the installation. Because the  
installation is under water supply pressure, cold water will automatically flow into  
the storage tank. The valve remains open until the unsafe situation (< 10 bar)  
has been resolved.

Call up the menu for displaying the appliance history  
as follows:  
If the preset temperature (SET POINT) is higher than  
the current water temperature, the appliance might not  
immediately start the heating cycle (2.3 "The  
appliance's heating cycle"). This is caused by the built-  
in safety margin. To prevent excessively frequent

12.7 Setting the service interval  
To aid servicing, the electronic controller includes a  
service interval which is used to set the frequency of  
maintenance interval (14.2 "Determining service  
interval") by the service and maintenance engineer,  
based on the number of burning hours.  
Switching from partial load to full load is handled by  
the electronic controller, using the stage difference.  
This value is adjustable.  
70  
Instruction manual GWV  
                     
is  
The appliance switches from partial load to full load if  
the temperature difference between the water in the  
storage tank (T ) and the set point (T ) minus the  
3
set  
negative hysteresis is greater than this stage  
difference. Conversely, the apparatus switches from  
full load to partial load if this temperature difference is  
smaller than the stage difference.  
The stage difference can be adjusted between 2°C  
and 8°C. The default stage difference is 5°C.  
You can set the stage difference using:

frequency  
A service should be carried out at least once a year, both on the water side and  
on the gas side. Maintenance frequency depends, among other things, on the  
water quality, the average burning time per day and the set water temperature.  
14.1 Introduction  
Note  
Regular maintenance extends the service life of the appliance.  
To determine the correct maintenance frequency, it is recommended to arrange  
for the service and maintenance engineer to check the appliance on both the  
water and gas side, three months after installation. Based on this check, the  
best maintenance frequency can be determined.  
To aid servicing, the electronic controller has a service interval with which the  
service and maintenance engineer can determine the frequency of  
maintenance, based on the number of burning hours.  
14.2 Determining service  
interval  
The service interval can be set to: 500, 1000 or 1500 burning hours. The  
standard setting is 500 burning hours.  
Example  
In the first three months, the appliance has burned for 300 hours. During  
maintenance, it is evident that one service per year will be sufficient. Therefore,  
after one year, some 1200 burning hours will have elapsed. The first value below  
1200 hours that can be selected is 1000 burning hours.  
In this case, the service and maintenance engineer sets the interval to 1000.  
In the first three months, the appliance has burned for 300 hours. During  
maintenance, it is evident (perhaps due to the water quality) that service will be  
required at least once every 6 months.  
Therefore, after six months, some 600 burning hours will have elapsed. The first  
value below 600 hours that can be selected is 500 burning hours.  
In this case, the service and maintenance engineer sets the interval to 500.  
!!! WARNING !!!  
MAX. BURNINGHOURS:  
SERVICE REQUIRED  
When the set number of burning hours has elapsed, the  
SERVICE REQUIREDmessage will appear on the display. Soon after the  
message appears, contact should be made with the service and maintenance  
engineer.

Caution  
15.1 Introduction  
Maintenance may only be performed by a qualified service and  
maintenance engineer.  
At each service, the appliance undergoes maintenance on both the water side  
and the gas side. The maintenance must be carried out in the following order.  
Note  
To order spare parts, it is important to write down the appliance type and  
model, and the full serial number of the appliance. These details can be found  
on the rating plate. Only by ordering with this information can you be sure to  
receive the correct spare parts.  
To test whether all components are still working properly, complete the following  
steps:

15.3 Water-side mainte-  
nance  
15.3.1 Introduction  
The following steps must be carried out on the water side:  
15.3.2 Checking the anodes  
Timely replacement of the anodes extends the service life of the appliance. The  
appliance's anodes must be replaced as soon as they are 60% used or more  
(take this into consideration when determining the maintenance frequency).  
1. Loosen the anodes using suitable tools.  
2. Check the anodes, and if necessary, replace them.  
15.3.3 Descaling and cleaning the storage tank  
Scale and lime buildup prevent effective conduction of the heat to the water.  
Periodic cleaning and descaling prevents buildup of these deposits. This  
increases the service life of the appliance, and also improves the heating  
process.  
Take the rate of scale formation into account when deciding on maintenance  
frequency. Scale formation depends on the local water composition, the water  
consumption and the water temperature setting. A water temperature setting of  
maximum 60°C is recommended for prevention of excessive scale buildup.  
To guarantee a good, watertight seal around the cleaning opening, replace the  
gasket, washers, bolts and, if necessary, the lid with new parts before  
reassembly (see the figure). A special set is obtainable from the  
supplier/manufacturer.  
To simplify descaling and cleaning of the tank, the storage tank has a cleaning  
opening.

IMD-0512 R0  
1. Remove the cover plate (1) on the outer jacket (see the figure).  
2. Undo the bolts.  
3. Remove the cover and the gasket.  
4. Inspect the storage tank and remove the loose limescale deposits and  
contamination.  
5. If the scale cannot be removed by hand, then the appliance will need to be  
descaled using a descaling agent. Contact the supplier for advice on the  
preferred descaling agent.  
6. Close the cleaning opening. To avoid damage to the storage tank, tighten  
the bolts that fasten the lid with a torque no greater than 50 Nm. Use suitable  
tools for this.
