TECHNICAL, SPARES & GUARANTEE CLAIMS For technical advice about the installation, commissioning, servicing or use of this appliance, please contact the Warmflow Customer Care Centre by post, phone, fax or email at the addresses below. Please also refer to our website.
1 USER INSTRUCTIONS This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
2 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Prior to installing this unvented hot water cylinder, please confirm that: a) The mains water supply is capable of achieving a minimum flow rate of 20 litres per minute at a minimum dynamic pressure of 1.5 bar at all times. If this performance cannot be achieved the installation of an unvented cylinder may not be suitable.
3 HANDLING AND STORAGE Prior to installation this product should be handled with care and stored upright in a dry location and in its original packaging. 4 STANDARD EQUIPMENT Before commencing installation check that all the listed components have been supplied: 1.
Primary coil pressure drop @ 15L/min (mbar) Heat up time by primary coil (mins) 19.1 24.9 24.7 31.4 33.6 41.4 FICHE DATA Supplier Name Warmflow Supplier Model Identifier IN120 IN150 IN180 IN210 IN250 IN300 Energy Efficiency Class Standing Loss (W)
20.2 21.8 19.3 Renewable coil pressure drop @ 15L/min (mbar) Heat up time by lower immersion only (mins) Dedicated renewable volume (litres) FICHE DATA Supplier Name Warmflow ED180 Supplier Model Identifier ED210 ED250 ED300 Energy Efficiency Class Standing Loss (W)
6 INSTALLATION 6.1 Cylinder Location The unit can be located in any convenient, frost-free, indoor location. As it is connected directly to the mains water supply it is equally efficient on any floor – ground, first, second, etc. The unit can be fitted into a conventional airing cupboard and does not require any additional insulation or ventilation.
6.3 Primary, Renewable & Tertiary Circuits The working pressure and temperature for all heat exchanger coils is given in Table 1. All connection to the cylinder must be made using compression fittings. 6.3.1 Safety thermostat Each heat exchanger coil has an associated combined control & safety thermostat. The system controls must be wired in such a manner as to cut off the flow of heat to the cylinder in the event of overheating in order to comply with Building Regulations and to ensure a safe installation.
6.8 Discharge Pipework The following is an extract from Section G3 of the Building Regulations for England and Wales and provides the most up-to-date guidance on the requirements for discharge pipework. Refer also to Figure 8. Discharge Pipe D1 3.50 Safety devices should discharge either directly or by way of a manifold via a short length of metal pipe (D1) to a tundish.
Page 16
Note: An alternative approach for sizing discharge pipes would be to follow Annex D, Section D.2 of BS 6700:2006 + A1:2009. 3.59 Where a single common discharge pipe serves more than one system, it should be at least one pipe size larger than the largest individual discharge pipe (D2) to be connected. 3.60 The discharge pipe should not be connected to a soil discharge stack unless it can be demonstrated that the soil discharge stack is capable of safely withstanding temperatures of the water discharged, in which case, it should:...
6.9 Worked Example The example below is for a G½” temperature relief valve with a discharge pipe (D2) having 4 no. elbows and a length of 7m from the tundish to the point of discharge. The calculation shows that 22mm pipe would be unacceptable. UNACCEPTABLE ACCEPTABLE Discharge pipe (D2) run in 22mm copper:...

7 COMMISSIONING The appliance and installation must be commissioned as described below and the Cylinder Passport completed and returned to the manufacturer along with proof of purchase. FAILURE TO COMMISSION, REGISTER AND ANNUALLY SERVICE THIS PRODUCT WILL INVALIDATE ALL GUARANTEES Isolate all electrical supplies until otherwise instructed during the commissioning process.
8 MAINTENANCE Isolate all electrical supplies before removing any components for inspection or repair, or before draining the cylinder or heat source circuits. 8.1 Regular Maintenance This appliance must be serviced annually to ensure continued safe operation and to maintain the guarantee.
8.4 Fault Finding Symptom Possible cause Possible remedy Mains water supply isolated Open stopcock. Little / no hot water flow Strainer blocked Turn water supply off, remove strainer and clean. Pressure reducing valve fitted the wrong Refit with arrow pointing in direction of flow (refer to Figure 7).
3.1 the customer must send written notification following discovery giving particulars and either at its own expense and risk shall return the unit to Warmflow within 2 weeks of written notice being provided by Warmflow; or (at Warmflow’s sole option) shall permit Warmflow to inspect same; and 3.2 if such defect has arisen from faulty materials employed or workmanship carried out by Warmflow and...
10 END-OF-LIFE INFORMATION Warmflow Unvented Cylinders must be disposed of according to local regulations by using a public or private waste collection service. 10.1 Safety Risks Prior to disassembly, the appliance should be electrically isolated and disconnected. Any fluids within the appliance must be drained, and disposed of in-line with local regulations.
