Despite the diversity of the Ariston range, all devices have a similar structure, differing only in design and slight differences in design.

Geysers of the Ariston brand are sales leaders among water heating equipment, due to their characteristics such as ease of use, efficiency, safety and modern design

In order to understand how to properly use the Ariston geyser, consider its structure.

The water heater consists of the following main elements:

• water block;
• gas-burner;
• the combustion chamber;
• heat exchanger;
• chimney;
• fan (if it is a turbocharged model);
• sensors for controlling fuel supply, water temperature, thrust, etc.;
• control Panel.

In addition to the basic configuration of the Ariston gas column, the device includes gas supply channels and pipes through which water flows.

The main components of the Ariston wall-mounted instantaneous water heater, which ensure its stable and uninterrupted operation

On the front of the boiler body there is a control panel that allows the user to control the operation of the device and set the desired parameters, there are gas and liquid flow regulators. A liquid crystal monitor displaying the water temperature can also be located here.

Briefly describe the principle of operation of the gas column, it is as follows: gas, burning inside the device, heats tap water, which passes through the heat exchanger, and then drains through the tap. You can read more about the principle of operation of the gas column in this material.

Malfunctions and methods for their elimination

Any technique tends to break down over time. Despite the high-quality assembly of Ariston gas water heaters, there are several types of malfunctions that can occur. Errors in the operation of equipment lead to problems in the operation of the entire column. Fortunately, the owner is able to fix some of the resulting breakdowns and malfunctions himself. In case of minor breakdowns, you do not need to rush to take the device to a service center. First you need to make sure that the communications of the water heater are correctly connected, and that there is enough pressure in the system.

If, nevertheless, the device is connected correctly, then the problem lies in the internal design.

There are several types of technical breakdowns.

• The device does not light up and does not light up. The reason for this may be the wear of parts, for example, the membrane. Or the servomotor has failed. Also important causes of this problem are the lack of water pressure and the low charge of the electric ignition battery.To solve these problems, it is necessary to replace obsolete parts, then the geyser will start working stably again.
• The device does not ignite. If the device cannot be ignited, then the burner chimney is clogged. In this case, it is necessary to check the draft and clean the chimney. For it, you will need specialized descaling powders or ordinary table vinegar.
• The device does not turn on. If it is not possible to turn on the burner, if it goes out and goes out after a certain period of time, these symptoms indicate that a large amount of scale has accumulated in the appliance. After carrying out cleaning work, using special tools, the water heater will start working properly again.
• Appliance does not heat water. The main cause of the malfunction lies in the problem with the radiator. Most likely, it flows, so the owner does not get hot water at the outlet. Also, a faulty membrane can cause a problem. In both cases, parts will need to be replaced. However, the radiator is a rather expensive part. Having found a leak, it can be soldered. This will require a soldering iron with a power of 0.1 kW.

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 geyser. If you learn how to use it correctly, the technique will be easy to use. 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 it is dangerous to use such equipment. However, this prejudice is valid when using old-style models.Today, the units are improved and safe, many of them (for example, offers from Bosch) are equipped with automatic protection
, at which the fuel supply is blocked in an emergency.

To know the rules of use, you should compose and represent it internal organization.
Models of any firms include all of the following elements:

How to use a gas column correctly? The operation of the device is carried out according to the following principle:

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

A bit of history

The company dates back to the thirties of the last century. The path from a small company to a serious concern took more than half a century. In 1989, the household appliance manufacturer Merloni Elettrodomestici, previously unknown in wide circles, buys the Indesit trademark with all the ensuing consequences. A few years later, it merges with the Scholtes concern and enters the French market. And then he buys half the shares of the English company General Domestic Appliances, known for products under the Hotpoint brand.

Since 2005, the largest European corporation of its kind has been renamed Indesit Company. Today she owns such brands as Hotpoint, Indesit, Ariston and Scholtes.

Pros and cons

Like all devices, Ariston appliances have both positive and negative characteristics. The main advantages of a gas water heater from an Italian manufacturer include the following:

• high-quality protection system;
• lack of temperature drops of water when using different modes;
• classic appearance;
• small dimensions;
• good maintainability;
• a copper heat exchanger with a significant service life;
• quite affordable cost.

Despite the rather good popularity and adaptability to difficult conditions, the technique has a number of disadvantages:

• difficult to use at very low water pressure;

Setting up the instrument for the first time

When you turn on the Ariston household gas column for the first time, it must be configured accordingly. All issues related to the installation of the device are detailed in the instruction manual.

The manual includes explanations on how to connect the device to the water supply, turn it on and light the flame. Each action has its own scheme, which must be strictly adhered to in order to avoid problems when using a flowing gas water heater.

The Ariston gas boiler is a reliable unit that, when properly installed, connected and operated, will provide you with hot water at any time of the year

The correct setting is carried out according to the following algorithm:

1. Adjusting the water flow - at this stage, the water flow should be adjusted, it must be made minimal (optimal value is 6, 10 or 12 liters). If this item is not performed at the very beginning, then the entire installation will be inaccurate.
2. Adjusting the water temperature - the mixer supplying hot water must be turned / opened to full power. Moreover, it is allowed to unwind only one valve / open one tap in the entire room.Next, the water temperature is adjusted, after which the tap closes.
3. Gas supply adjustment - for this it is necessary to clarify the minimum parameter of the unit (you can find it in the data sheet of the Ariston column). To regulate the flow of gas, the toggle switch returns to a minimum and the gas supply valve opens.
4. The next step is to open the hot valve. After that, the water heater immediately starts working - the masters recommend that before starting the installation, wait for the pressure to drop in the line, and then turn the gas regulator to the minimum value until the optimum temperature is reached.
5. The final step is to adjust the hot flow. First you need to open the mixer and estimate the temperature of the flow heating, which should be 25 degrees higher than at the outlet. Since the gas boiler heater heats the water gradually, you need to wait.

Experts recommend not to increase the temperature of hot water over 55 degrees, since in this case scale will begin to form in the heat exchanger, which may adversely affect the operation of the device. And in a period of time, cleaning of the column will be required.
