AEG Geysers - Troubleshooting Tips

The AEG gas water heater is a product belonging to one of the most famous German brands. All modifications have one schematic diagram, which today the developers considered to be as close as possible to perfection. The devices are designed to meet any domestic hot water needs of the owner. And most importantly, German water heaters, unlike their Chinese counterparts, not only heat water: they are able to maintain its temperature constant - without this, using the services of the column cannot be comfortable.

About company

Allgemeine Elektrizitats-Gesellschaft is short for AEG, a company founded by German engineer E. Rothenau in 1833. The logo design was invented in 1896.Since 1909, the company was headed by the Russian inventor M. Dolivo-Dobrovolsky, who created a three-phase transformer. Since 1994, the AEG department for household appliances has been merged with Electrolux. Today the headquarters of the concern is located in Germany, and its wholesale base is in Belgium. The company has representative offices all over the world. It is the largest German brand that sells household appliances on the world market.

Benefits of AEG speakers

The manufacturer does not need to praise the product - AEG products have long been known in Europe and beyond. The equipment of this brand is an example of safety, quality and economy. Plus a sleek, stylish design that rivals might envy. Features and benefits of a technical nature:

  • Thanks to the simulating burners, there are no temperature differences at the outlet - they change the intensity of the flame depending on the pressure in the water supply pipes.
  • Reliable security system. The developers have provided several levels to exclude the occurrence of dangerous situations. Help to avoid dangerous situations:

- draft sensor (from overheating of the upper part of the apparatus);

- thermocouple (from the spread of gas in case of accidental extinction of the flame);

- hydraulic valve (against overheating of the device).

The equipment is equipped with special safety valves - if the burner goes out during operation, they, when triggered, cut off the fuel supply.

  • Fuel consumption regulation. Works without readjustment in the gas pressure range of 13-20 mbar.
  • Combined fittings. This unusual design solution allows you to solve the most common malfunction that occurs with such devices - a leak at the pipe connection.
  • The formation of scale in the tubes of the heat exchanger is prevented by means of special turbulators. The absence of limescale allows you not to lose the heating rate.
  • Automatic ignition to ensure complete combustion of the incoming fuel.
  • Temperature regulators are provided.
  • Gas fired water heaters are more economical than boilers. "Blue fuel" is the most profitable energy resource today.
  • Compactness. Easy to fit in the cramped kitchen.

Benefits

Geyser GWH 285 ERN NanoPro - made in China. Hydraulic control with flame control by ionization current (electronic gas control system). Overheating control and removal of combustion products (exhaust) is performed by a separate temperature sensor located on the traction chopper. The electronic unit is powered from one LR20 element with a voltage of 1.5 V. The battery must be used only with alkaline. Salt cells are only intended to demonstrate the operation of the instrument and may even leak out by flooding the electronics. GWH 285 is very user-friendly, easily repairable, but does not apply to devices that have been in operation for a long time. Consists of separate units: gas, water, electronic unit, spark plugs, automatic microswitch, heat exchanger (combustion chamber or radiator).

The weakest component is the heat exchanger. It is made of thin copper without any coating and burns out quickly. When operating in very damp rooms, when mounted directly above the bathtub and untimely cleaning from soot (recommended once a year), weak traction leads to corrosion and thermal destruction of the heat exchanger. Further operation is impossible.

Replacing the heat exchanger does not cause any particular difficulties. To dismantle the protective cover, it is necessary to remove the control knobs, there is a screw under the left handle.

We remove the flexible connection from the outlet of the heat exchanger, unscrew the heat exchanger from the water unit, remove the traction interrupter and take out the heat exchanger (upwards).

Then we install the heat exchanger through the top, install the traction interrupter, fix the heat exchanger with latches and screw it on, the water inlet and outlet.

Now there are heat exchangers made in Tula. They are made of better quality, made of thicker copper and with a heat-resistant and anti-corrosion coating.

Replacing the original heat exchanger with a Tula one is somewhat more difficult. The Tula heat exchanger is made according to the same dimensions, but with "Russian precision". It is necessary to slightly bend the traction interrupter and the heat exchanger itself. The set includes wires for fixing the heat exchanger instead of the standard brackets, but it is better to stock up on soft copper wire to fix the heat exchanger. But all the same, the Tula heat exchanger is better than the production of the PRC (thicker copper and heat-resistant coating).

In the absence of ignition and the absence of characteristic pops, you must make sure that the column is turned on (the button on the front panel is pressed), then replace the battery. If the battery is suitable, it is necessary to ring the thermal sensor on the traction chopper and make sure that the automatic switch is working. To do this, it must be dismantled and switched on manually.

It is easier to check with a connector that connects to the electronic unit. If the microswitch is faulty, then it is necessary to check the water unit.If there is a water leak along the switch rod, then the failure of the automatic switch is inevitable. The body of the switch is collapsible; a microswitch is installed inside, which can be soldered.

If the water unit breaks down, the column will not turn on. At the entrance to the water unit there is a fine mesh filter, many vias, all this is subject to the action of bad water and becomes clogged.

The repair is carried out by replacing the rubber seals and the membrane, of course it is better to change the entire assembly.

In June 2020, a repair kit for a water unit manufactured by Nizhny Novgorod appeared. The repair kit includes rubber rings, a membrane, a lubricant. The repair kit can be purchased from us.

Breakdowns of the gas unit were encountered a few times, mainly when water was supplied to the gas unit with an erroneous connection.

The gas unit is not repairable.

Electronics rarely breaks down, even if flooded with water. The most common breakdown is associated with strong pops when the column is ignited (when the water is turned on). Most often this is due to the spark plugs.

Spark plugs are not included in deliveries from 2020. There are candles with very similar installation dimensions from the Electrolux GCB Basic gas boiler.

Replacing the GWH 285 ERN NanoPro candles with candles from the Electrolux GCB Basic boiler is possible. Minor improvements.

When operating the column in a humid room, pops almost always occur. Another common malfunction is when the flame flares up and ignition occurs, but then after a second the flame goes out, then the process is repeated 2-3 times and then nothing happens. This electronic unit does not see the ionization current and therefore does not see the flame. This repair is carried out by substituting known serviceable spare parts, from the beginning a block of candles (most often they are to blame), then an electronic block. Leakage failure occurs due to burnout or corrosion of the heat exchanger or wear of the sealing rings of the water unit. Determining the place of water leakage does not cause any particular difficulty.

Spontaneous extinction of the column usually occurs due to clogging of the heat exchanger with soot and scale. The problem with complex cleaning is eliminated. The extinction of the column can also occur when the column is in good working order. This is usually the correct functioning of the gas control system. With a weak draft in the chimney, incomplete removal of combustion products occurs, the draft interrupter overheats, overheats, and the temperature sensor of the gas control system and the thermal sensor disconnects the power from the electronic unit. The column goes out and can be turned on again after the column has cooled down. Poor draft can be caused by a blockage in the chimney, hot weather, wind pressure, etc.

Very often the owners themselves are to blame. Install the column in the bathroom without providing air flow. For one hour of operation, the column needs to burn 1.5-2 cubic meters of gas, in order to burn 1.5-2 cubic meters of gas, 16-24 cubic meters are needed. air, if you install plastic windows in the apartment and a good apartment door, the column will simply suffocate without air and go out. Water pressure is very important. With a low pressure, the column will not turn on. A water flow of at least 5-6 liters per minute is required. Automation works according to the speed of the water flow. The maximum water heating temperature is approximately 50-60 C from the inlet temperature. There is a slight min-max adjustment on the gas unit.

The LPG conversion option is not available for the GWH 285 ERN NanoPro. There are no LPG nozzles.

Maintenance of any gas water heater is required once a year. This is flushing the heat exchanger from soot, cleaning burners, nozzles, cleaning the water unit and, if necessary, replacing the membrane of the water unit, lubricating the mechanisms of the gas and water units. This must be done even during the warranty period if the warranty is 2 years or more.

Descriptions of other gas water heaters.

There are many options for solving hot water problems.In this case, the Electrolux gas water heater is often used, which is able to cope with its tasks for a long time even under low pressure conditions. The equipment meets all quality and safety criteria, is equipped with various sensors and controllers that monitor the operation of the device.

Types of gas water heaters

There are two designs of AEG water heaters:

  • Flowing. Low cost price. Compactness, simplicity of the device.
  • Accumulative. Their principle of operation is similar to flow-through counterparts, the difference is the storage capacity. They cost slightly more flowing ones.

By the type of combustion chamber there are:

  • Open. Works when connected to a chimney. Combustion products are removed by natural draft.
  • Closed. A ventilation turbine is installed that removes the exhaust to the outside.

Models can also differ in power, color, design.

Classic faults and their elimination

Do-it-yourself gas equipment repair is possible only if the breakdown is insignificant.Before any intervention in the device, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the instructions - it is not enough to be able to use it, you need to delve into the principle of operation and design. If the malfunction is serious, entrust the repair to a service center. The most common problems are:

  • The column does not light up. The probable cause is a breakdown of the ignition system or a clogged igniter. Disassembly is needed here, followed by repair or cleaning. It is better to entrust it to a specialist. You can independently eliminate the lack of draft associated with a clogged chimney.
  • Attenuation of burners. Probable reasons - the temperature sensor or the emergency shutdown system is faulty. What is the reason for this? Perhaps - a factory defect or a violation of the operating rules, which provoked a breakdown. Another option is poor cooling due to improper installation of the device. In any situation, the intervention of specialists will be required.
  • No hot water or poor flow. Reasons - the burner is idling, provoking overheating of the heat exchanger. It needs to be cleaned or replaced. Details about the heat exchanger on the page "".

Self-disassembly and cleaning of the equipment is strongly discouraged by the manufacturer and its repair and commissioning specialists. Unless you can change the battery without the help of specialists, entrust the rest to the service center.

Regular use


Gas water heaters from left to right Electrolux GWH 275, 285, 350
To extend the service life of the Electrolux gas water heater, it is important to adhere to several recommendations when using hot water.

The most expensive part of a column is the thermostat. In Electrolux 275, 285 and 350 water heaters, the heat exchanger is made of copper. It is constantly in contact with hot water, therefore scale forms on it. It is not recommended to set the maximum water temperature. The optimum temperature for work is 45-50 degrees.

Using the tap to the right of the display, you need to limit the water pressure in the column. This will avoid sudden pressure drops in the structure.

If you know that the hardness of your water is high, it is advisable to install an additional purification system. The calcium and magnesium salts in this water quickly build up scale in the thermostat. Installing a filter at the inlet of the device will extend the life of the device.

Even if all the recommendations are followed, scale will still appear. According to the instructions, you need to clean the Electrolux column once a year. It should only be carried out by specialists. Workers are cleaning the thermostat from scale and the burner from carbon deposits.

How do I adjust the parameters?

  • Power. Using a relay located on the control panel (marked with a "flame" icon), the gas flow is regulated. To increase the fuel supply, you need to turn the knob counterclockwise, decrease it - vice versa.
  • Temperature. It is adjusted by a regulator with a corresponding mark - "thermometer". Turn the regulator clockwise to increase heat and decrease head.

Important! The valve on the cold water riser must always be in the position - 100% open. It is forbidden to adjust the fluid pressure by turning this valve.

Maintenance

In order for the equipment to work flawlessly, you need to clean it every year, and if necessary, change the parts that are out of order. It is recommended to use original spare parts for replacement, otherwise you may lose your warranty. During preventive maintenance, check and perform:

  • How the exhaust gas system works.
  • Burner cleaning. The nozzles are cleaned with a brush.
  • Cleaning the heat exchanger.
  • Condition of electrodes - ignition and control.
  • Tightness of gas joints using a soapy solution.

Description of the geyser GWH 350 RN

This Electrolux gas water heater costs 17,800 rubles. It is an instantaneous water heater with a stainless steel burner. In this case, the heat exchanger is also made of copper.The start-up of the device is simplified thanks to the piezoelectric ignition. The unit can operate in one of two modes. One of them is economical, while the other provides maximum power.

There are switches on the case with which the user will be able to adjust the operating parameters. You can carry out visual control of the presence of a flame due to the viewing window.

How to turn on a column with piezo ignition?

Turning on begins with turning the gas supply regulator - drowning it, and turning it clockwise to about. Having put the handle in this position, press the piezo ignition button with a hold for 7-8 seconds - until a stable flame appears.

When you turn it on for the first time or after a long downtime with the fuel supply turned off, they act differently: the relay is turned to the position at least until it clicks - so that the entire pipe is filled with the gas mixture. You need to wait 20-25 seconds. Then put the regulator in the "asterisk" position and turn on the piezo ignition. After waiting 15 seconds - for the safety valve to work, set the desired mode by adjusting the gas supply.

Interruptions in hot water supply deprive us of the usual comfort. To prevent this from happening, you can use additional options for obtaining hot water. One of the devices dedicated to this purpose is a gas water heater. If you learn to use it correctly, the technique will be easy to operate. And one of the pressing questions: how to turn on the gas water heater?

One of the most common myths that scares off potential buyers is that this technique is dangerous to use. However, this bias is valid when using old-style models. Today, the units are improved and safe, many of them (for example, proposals from Bosch) are equipped with automatic protection

, in which in an emergency, the flow of fuel is cut off.

To know the rules of use, you should draw up a present it internal organization.

All firm models include all of the following elements:

  • gas equipment unit;
  • water connection unit;
  • exhaust connection system;
  • other mechanisms;
  • electrical appliances.

The body itself resembles in appearance a cabinet that is connected to a water supply and a gas pipeline. Heating elements are located in its lower part and are represented by the main burner and igniter.

How to use a gas water heater correctly? The device operates according to the following principle:

  • cold water under pressure enters the heat exchanger - this will automatically open the fuel valve;
  • the ignition device ignites;
  • gas will go to the main burner, where it is ignited from the igniter;
  • heat will heat the water;
  • combustion products are removed through the chimney and exhaust system.

Operation and maintenance of the AEG gas water heater

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Model AEG GWH 11E N 13 The device does not ignite - remedies for the breakdown - The GWH 11E N 13 gas water heater is equipped with an electric ignition. Initially, you need to make sure that the installed batteries are charged. They are located in a special compartment, and without them the device will not ignite. Next, you need to open the gas valve. The control relay is set to the maximum position. In order for the water heater to start working, it is necessary to open the hot water supply tap. If at the same time it does not turn on, it is necessary to close the hot water supply tap, and then after waiting for a while, reopen it. It is important to make sure there is a flame. Power regulation methods - This model allows you to regulate the amount of supplied gas using a relay located on the control panel. It is denoted by a special icon in the form of tongues of flame. In order to increase the gas flow, turn the knob counterclockwise. Supply water temperature - This parameter is adjusted using the knob marked with the thermometer icon. It is located on the control panel.In order for the supplied water to become hotter, it is necessary to reduce the rate of its supply. To do this, the handle is turned clockwise. In doing so, make sure that the cold water shut-off valve is open to the maximum position. Adjusting the fluid pressure with it is prohibited. If you plan to turn off the AEG GWH 11E column for a while, then you must: 1) Completely shut off the gas supply. 2) Remove the batteries from the device. 3) Close the cold water shut-off valve. 4) Set the temperature control relay to minimum mode 5) Then open the gas valve. 6) Using a special valve, drain the liquid from the water heater. Maintenance In order for the gas water heater AEG GWH 11E N 13 to work for a long time and not break down, it is necessary to carry out its maintenance at least once a year. In this case, after a visual inspection, it is required to replace all worn parts. As new parts, you must use the original ones recommended by the manufacturer. Use of other parts will void the warranty. During inspection and maintenance, it is necessary to check: 1) The system that ensures the removal of carbon monoxide. 2) It is necessary to clean the burner and gas nozzles. This is done with a special brush. 3) It is also necessary to flush the heat exchanger. 4) After inspecting the ignition and control electrodes, you can clean them if necessary. 5) Using soapy water, make sure that the gas unit is tight. Models AEG GWH 11RN / 14 RN To turn on the gas water heater AEG GWH 11RN / 14 RN, equipped with a piezo ignition, the gas supply control knob must be pressed and turned clockwise to the position marked with an asterisk. After that, you must press the piezo ignition button, and hold it in this position for at least 7 seconds. After that, a stable flame should appear. If the gas instantaneous water heater is started for the first time, or has been turned off for a long time, then the procedure is as follows. It is necessary to install the relay in the minimum investment until it clicks. This is necessary for the gas mixture to fill the pipeline. After that, you may have to wait up to 25 seconds, and only after that you can set the knob to the "asterisk" position. Then piezo ignition is pressed to turn it on. After the column has started working, you must wait 15 seconds for the safety valve to work. Then you can adjust the temperature of the water supply using the gas control knob. The instructions for the AEG GWH 14 RN column say that it can operate in two modes: "winter" or "summer". Summer mode is indicated by a small flame icon and is activated when the cold water supply temperature is above 10 degrees. This is usually the period from April to October. Winter mode is indicated by a high flame. If the device has been turned off for any reason and you want to skip it again, you need to pause for 5 seconds in order for the safety valve to work. Temperature control - In both modes, normal and economy, the water temperature can be adjusted. Turning to the left decreases it, to the right increases it. Switching off the appliance - In order to switch off the water heater, it is necessary to turn the gas supply relay clockwise. This will stop the gas flow. Care and maintenance - It is important to remember that the AEG GWH 11RN gas water heater must not be operated at temperatures below zero. It is installed in warm heated rooms. If for some time the device will stand in a room where a negative temperature is possible, it is necessary to remove all water from it. Limescale is one of the most basic breakdowns that happen with a model delivered. When there is too much scale, the water pressure decreases when passing through the appliance. In this case, the heating of the liquid becomes less.To prevent the formation of scale, the manufacturer recommends setting the operating temperature of the water no higher than 45 degrees. If limescale deposits form, the appliance must be cleaned immediately. Firing group. Cleaning methods - The ignition group must be cleaned at least once a year. For this it is necessary to carry out the following actions: 1) The gas supply to the device is closed. 2) The casing is being dismantled. 3) The nozzles can be cleaned with a brush or brush. They also need to be blown out of fine dust and quarrels. The ignition burner is cleaned if the color of the flame has changed. It should be blue; if the burner is dirty, the flame turns yellow. The following steps are carried out for cleaning: - The gas supply is cut off. - The cover is removed. - Unscrew the nuts to dismantle the burner and nozzle. - The ignition burner tube must be blown out. - The nozzles are cleaned. - Everything is going back in the same way. Types of malfunctions, their causes and remedies If the AEG column GWH 14 RN / 11RN does not light up, then the following breakdowns are possible: 1. The device is supplied with little gas. Make sure that the gas supply valve is open. If everything is in order with him, then perhaps the gas has run out in the cylinder. Also, air could accumulate in the gas pipeline. To eliminate this, it is necessary to open and close the valve several times. 2. Batteries do not work. They have either sat down or are incorrectly installed. Check, replace or install correctly. This breakdown occurs only in devices with automatic ignition. 3. The supply water pressure is too low. There are two ways to solve the problem: a) install an additional pump, b) adjust the water supply so that it does not need to be diluted. Lack or insufficient traction. Checked with a lighted candle or lighter. The flame should be deflected in the direction of air movement. If a draft problem is found, the chimney must be cleaned. This can be done either independently or by calling a specialist. Adjustment and maintenance The AEG GWH 11E N 13 gas water heater includes a draft breaker, heat exchanger, burner, gas supply line, gas-water unit, control electronics and safety thermostats. Three safety thermostats monitor the draft, liquid boiling in the heat exchanger, overheating of the heat exchanger combustion chamber. In these models, the heat exchanger is tin-plated. The electronics are powered alternately by means of safety thermostats from 2 LR20 batteries, the total voltage of which is three volts. When the temperature sensor is triggered, the supply voltage is removed from the electronic part, the device is turned off. The mechanics operates from the speed of the water flow by means of various pressure switches. The flame is monitored by the electronic unit for ionization voltage At the moment of opening the HW valve, the water block opens the automatic gas valve and connects the switch. Then the electronic control opens the EMC gas valve and then creates an ignition spark. If the burner has been ignited, there is voltage from the controlling flame plug to the frame by means of the burner. The water heater starts operating normally. The output of the gas burner is adjusted using a tap (handle). There is no increasing ignition when starting the device. The volume of water can be measuredly adjusted by the tap (handle) of the water unit. Both the one and the second control valve act on the temperature of the outgoing liquid. Experts do not recommend mixing HV through a mixer. For gas columns AEG 11E N 13, the electrical unit is in the singular and monitors exclusively the presence of the burner flame. When a flame enters, the gas supply is cut off. The protection system consists of several levels. The flame is monitored continuously by an ionisation electrode.The smoke removal control is not carried out directly, but according to the temperature of the draft interrupter (at low draft, the thermostat is triggered, the unit will turn off and its further inclusion is allowed only after the draft interrupter has cooled down). These models of gas instantaneous water heaters are equipped with a thermostat (85 degrees) for controlling the temperature of the liquid at the outlet (when the liquid temperature is exceeded, the device will turn off and the secondary connection is possible only after the heat exchanger has cooled down). The water unit is equipped with a hydraulic valve (it will protect the device from pressure increase in case of involuntary steam generation or shock). Response pressure from 12 to 15 mbar. To protect the device from freezing, the liquid is completely drained, for this the safety valve is unscrewed. In the event of a breakdown or incorrect operation, first of all, you should replace the batteries (it is recommended to use alkaline ones). The most common breakdowns of AEG gas columns: 1) Lack of ignition or repeated extinction after it. This problem can be solved by replacing the candles or electrical unit. 2) The device goes out after a short time. Most often, such a malfunction is caused by a blockage in the heat exchanger. Or lack of contact in the thermostat circuit. 3) Lack of ignition. The reason for such a breakdown could be low water pressure. If the pressure difference between inlet and outlet is small, the unit will not start. 4) Another reason may be a blockage of the water unit or a violation of the integrity of the membrane. This is controlled by moving the microswitch balancer. Perhaps the switch itself is out of order or the penetration of liquid onto it from the stem seal of the pressure switch. You can check it yourself by running the switch. The problem can be solved by going through the water block or replacing the gas-water unit. As accessories, gas and water units are present with or without EMC. There are also burnouts or ruptures of the solenoid valve. 5) A pop-like sound is heard when the appliance is started. This can happen as a result of dead batteries, low gas pressure, clogging of the heat exchanger. 6) Depressurization. Leaking heat exchanger and water unit. Disassembling the unit is not easy. For maintenance and repair, all bolts have to be unscrewed. The grooves are made of elastic metal, so it is very easy to damage them. If desired, the water heater is converted to condensed gas. For this, it is equipped with a gas line with nozzles for this type of gas.

How to light up the apparatus

Before starting work, you must open the gas and water taps.

There are three ways to light a gas water heater.

Manually

The manual method was used in old-style models

... In this case, you have to light it with matches. Here it was necessary to perform a number of such preliminary manipulations:

  • open the water supply connected to the device;
  • open the main valve for the fuel flow to the igniter;
  • light the wick with matches;
  • turn on the valve (main) for gas supply.

The downside is that you have to turn off the wick manually. It is required to master the above practical skills and keep children away from the device.

With piezo ignition

We can say that this is a semiautomatic column. How to use this type of gas water heater? It will be enough push the button

to ignite the wick in the combustion chamber. With the help of mechanical force, a spark is transformed - it is enough for the ignition filter to ignite. With this method, a number of mandatory requirements must also be met:

  • in order to ignite the main burner, it will be necessary to turn on the main regulator in the fuel supply;
  • the pilot filter will remain lit when the regulator is returned to the main position and the water is turned off.

There is a drawback in such designs - excessive fuel consumption. Vivid examples of such speakers are the Bosch WR 10-2 P miniMAXX-2, Nevalux 5111, Junkers WR 10-2 PВ models and other options.

Automatically

Fully advanced mods provide automatic activation that is easy and safe to use even for beginners. Hydropower system

offered by most modern manufacturers (Bosch, its direct competitor Electrolux and many others). The process of starting a job is simplified to the limit.

  1. For example, in the Bosch Therm 6000 O, the water pressure drives the turbine. It starts the automatic ignition system of both the wick and the main burner inside the device.
  2. The manufacturer Bosch has the Therm 2000 O and Therm 4000 O lines, which carry out electric ignition from batteries (it will be necessary to monitor their service life).
  3. The Bosch AM1E series speakers already have a digital control panel that will immediately show all possible power-on errors.

A fully automated process has one drawback: in many homes, the water supply pressure is low, and this may not be enough for the normal operation of the turbine. In addition, such devices are significantly more expensive than their less perfect counterparts.

How to use the column Electrolux

All Electrolux gas water heaters operate in automatic mode. The internal structure is thought out to the smallest detail, which makes the operation as comfortable as possible. When the DHW tap is opened, the automatics are triggered, the main burner is ignited. Hot water is supplied to the consumer in 10-15 seconds. After closing the tap, the flame is extinguished.
An Electrolux gas water heater operation license is not required. When drawing up documents for connection, it is enough to provide a passport of the column or indicate the exact name of the model.

How to turn on the Electrolux column

Almost all leading manufacturers of instantaneous gas water heaters in the operating instructions necessarily indicate that the installation must be carried out by a qualified specialist. In domestic joint ventures and SNiP there is a similar indication. In accordance with existing regulations, do-it-yourself connection is prohibited. If you perform an independent installation, then when you next contact the service center, you should not expect free service. For all work, even if the warranty period has not yet passed, you will have to pay.
According to the current regulations, the connection can be made by:

  • representatives of the company that sold the water heater;
  • gas service specialists.

In the boiler passport, a mark and seal is put on the connection and commissioning of the device.
There are several basic rules for connecting:

  • installation is carried out in accordance with the rules described in SNiP and SP;
  • the first launch is carried out in the presence of an inspector of the Gas Service;
  • necessarily withstand the gaps between the stove, refrigerator, sink;
  • the installation is carried out in strict accordance with the gas supply project;
  • the room used for the boiler room must meet the minimum requirements: height 2.2 m, area of ​​at least 12 m², the presence of a vent or an opening window.

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

How to set up the Electrolux column

For adjustment, there are mechanical regulators of the water and gas flow on the front side of the water heater casing. Most Electrolux speakers have an LED display connected to a heating sensor that shows the temperature of the water.
To change the power, the gas supply is increased or decreased, changing the intensity of the flame combustion, focusing on the digital indicators displayed on the screen.

In the device of the Electrolux gas water heater with flame modulation, the adjustments are carried out 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.

It is forbidden to regulate the temperature by mixing cold water with hot water.

How to clean an Electrolux column

There are several parts that are most susceptible to contamination:

  • the heat exchanger of the Electrolux column - inside the tubes they are overgrown with scale, outside the radiator is covered with carbon deposits;
  • burner - nozzles are clogged with soot.

You can independently clean the Electrolux gas water heater at home only after the factory warranty has expired. Before this period, it is better to contact the service center for 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 cleaned with ordinary soapy water. The burner is cleaned with a metal awl. The work is carried out by a qualified specialist who has an admission and an appropriate license.

Mandatory precautions

Any purchased equipment is accompanied by instructions for the correct operation of the gas water heater. The principle of operation of most of them is identical to that indicated above, but here the mandatory adherence to safety precautions should be highlighted.

  1. It is required to conduct preventive cleaning
    gas water heater in order to avoid disruption of the efficiency of its work (how to do this, you can read in the document that goes to the gas water heater - instructions).
  2. It is important to check the condition of the chimney ducts - this will help to avoid clogging.
  3. If the device fails, you should immediately contact gas service
    ... Unauthorized attempts to fix the problem are prohibited.

In more detail, the inclusion of the unit is shown in the video:

It is enough to understand once how to light the device in order to provide comfortable and instant heating of running water. And then you can simply enjoy the operation of this convenient heater.

The manufacturer of household and heating equipment AEG, has many years of experience in the market, and is currently part of the Electrolux group, which is one of the top most popular manufacturing companies.

The company's products are the standard of European quality, affordable prices and a wide range of models. That is why the AEG gas water heater can be an excellent option for installation in an apartment, house and in the country. Reliable and proven AEG technology, has a simple design.

The AEG geyser manual explains to the buyers the process of installing the product and its safe operation step by step and in an accessible manner. Therefore, the Electrolux AEG geyser is a series of devices that are created with the expectation of the most convenient use and operation of the column in everyday life.

In this review, we will consider the device and the principle of operation of AEG geysers, their types and differences between them, as well as understand the common breakdowns and the possibilities for their elimination.

Technical features

Electrolux water heaters are considered reliable and safe units capable of operating both at one and several water intake points. That is why they are successfully used in apartments, private houses, country cottages or office buildings.

All indicators are displayed

The performance of devices depends on the correct choice of model, focusing on personal preferences and needs. Based on the information specified in the operating instructions, it should be noted that all modifications of Electrolux gas columns differ according to 5 main criteria:

  • power indicator;
  • type of control;
  • type of ignition;
  • security level;
  • design solution.

To determine the option, you should study each item in detail and highlight for yourself the main criteria by which the selection will be carried out.

Power

At the moment, the company produces modifications of three groups, differing in the level of performance, power:

  • low-power - 17-19 kW;
  • medium-power - 20-24 kW;
  • powerful - 25-31 kW.

Each of the options assumes work at a certain number of sampling points. For example, low-power ones are capable of functioning with only 1 mixer, medium-power ones - for 2-3, powerful ones - from 3 or more water intake points.

Control

Units with a manual control method have long been considered obsolete, so the manufacturers of gas water heaters have developed an updated version. Modern models are equipped with a modulating burner.

The priority is the elementary equipment operation control

This aspect controls the temperature of the water and maintains it at a given level even when the pressure in the water supply system decreases or increases. The selection of the temperature will be carried out at an automated level.

Type of ignition

The manufacturer of geysers Electrolux produces several series with different types of ignition. Modifications come to work according to one of the following principles:

  • manual ignition with a lighter or matches is an outdated method that is practically not used in modern models;
  • automatic ignition - carried out from a turbine or batteries, is considered the most reliable, since it starts working only when the tap is opened;
  • piezo ignition - this option is used in the Electrolux Nano Pro series and differs in the principle of switching on, you need to press a key.

Versions with the first method of ignition are very rare on sale, more often in the secondary market. Automatic ignition is considered the most convenient, but here you will need to regularly change the batteries. Piezo ignition can bring inconvenience when turning on the gas water heater when the user is at arm's length.

Security level

The Electrolux gas water heater is equipped with a 3 or 4-level security system. In the event of dangerous malfunctions in the form of a gas or water leak, an increase in pressure in the pipeline system, an emergency shutdown device is triggered in the device. Also, situations that are hazardous to the user's health include the following:

  • the formation of reverse thrust or its absence;
  • damping of the fire in the burner.

It should be noted that back draft formation is considered a particularly dangerous factor in rooms with a chimney. When choosing a chimney gas water heater, you should pay attention to the presence of an automated shutdown function in its options.

Design solution

The range of equipment of this brand is diverse both in technical parameters and in the presence of various additional options. But there are also many design solutions that should be noted.For example, the company produces models for conservative personalities with a minimalist style; this series should include a compact modification of Electrolux Nano Plus geysers. There are more expensive variations, on the front panel of which you can install or change a picture that suits the general style of the room.

Laconic design and small size attract owners of apartments and country houses

But the most popular versions are units with a display that displays all the necessary information about the state of the device and its operation. Also, when a malfunction is detected, an error code is displayed on the screen. In operation, this is a very convenient and practical option.

Popular models of geysers Electrolux

Italian products are in demand all over the world due to their high quality, durability and safety. Among the abundance of the offer, users distinguish three versions of devices.

Electrolux GWH 275-SRN

This is an instantaneous water heater with a water treatment rate of 11 l / min. and a capacity of 19.2 kW. The design includes a piezoelectric ignition system with an open combustion chamber. The maximum level of water heating is 68 ° C, a gas control device is used as a security system.

There is also an additional function in the form of a temperature limiter for heating. There are 2 main adjustment levers on the body, so there will be no questions about how to turn on the gas water heater.

The Electrolux 275 unit with a classic design is sold at a price of 6,000 to 7,000 rubles.

We look at the reviews - the only inconvenience is associated with the need to periodically change the batteries for automatic ignition.

Electrolux GWH 265 Nano Plus

The geyser Electrolux GWH 265 ERN Nanoplus has a low price - 8,500-9,000 rubles, thanks to which it is available to a wide range of consumers. The modification has all the necessary functions to ensure high-quality water heating.

The main advantages are as follows:

  • compact dimensions;
  • modern design solution;
  • reliable burner made of stainless steel;
  • modulation device;
  • low price.

Users also noted some disadvantages. Since the unit is assembled in China, if it malfunctions, it may be difficult to find spare parts. Also, the capacity of the unit for functioning at several water intake points will not be enough.

  • Operating instructions for gas instantaneous water heater of the GWH 265 ERN NanoPlus series

Electrolux GWH 285 ERN Nanopro

The geyser Electrolux 285 Nano Pro is considered a more advanced modification, since it is equipped with 4 security levels:

  • hydraulic valve;
  • traction controller;
  • ionization device for tracking the work of fire;
  • device for determining the correct functioning of the unit.

This version was developed for houses located in regions where there are constant problems with the pressure level in the centralized gas or water supply system. The unit is not included in the classification of powerful devices, but at the same time it can function with a small indicator of water pressure.

Judging by the reviews of real people, the electrical equipment is of high quality, reliable, but heats the water too much, even at minimum heating values ​​and at high pressure. Some have noted problems with the heat exchanger.

Due to the average pricing policy for Electrolux devices, each consumer will be able to choose the most optimal modification not only in terms of technical requirements, but also in terms of cost. With a limited budget, experts recommend giving preference to the option with a minimum number of functions and average power. In order for the unit to provide the desired initial result, it is enough to adjust the pressure of the water and gas.

Interruptions in hot water supply deprive us of the usual comfort.To prevent this from happening, you can use additional options for obtaining hot water. One of the devices dedicated to this purpose is a gas water heater. If you learn to use it correctly, the technique will be easy to operate. And one of the pressing questions: how to turn on the gas water heater?

One of the most common myths that scares off potential buyers is that this technique is dangerous to use. However, this bias is valid when using old-style models. Today, the units are improved and safe, many of them (for example, proposals from Bosch) are equipped with automatic protection

, in which in an emergency, the flow of fuel is cut off.

To know the rules of use, you should draw up a present it internal organization.

All firm models include all of the following elements:

  • gas equipment unit;
  • water connection unit;
  • exhaust connection system;
  • other mechanisms;
  • electrical appliances.

The body itself resembles in appearance a cabinet that is connected to a water supply and a gas pipeline. Heating elements are located in its lower part and are represented by the main burner and igniter.

How to use a gas water heater correctly? The device operates according to the following principle:

  • cold water under pressure enters the heat exchanger - this will automatically open the fuel valve;
  • the ignition device ignites;
  • gas will go to the main burner, where it is ignited from the igniter;
  • heat will heat the water;
  • combustion products are removed through the chimney and exhaust system.
