How to use the Ariston geyser

• installations and connections;
• settings;
• first and second launch;
• replacing batteries and cleaning the water heater.

How to install a column from Ariston

• To the room used for the boiler room
  - ceiling height not less than 2.2 m; total area from 9 m².Be sure to have a window or an opening window, natural supply and exhaust ventilation.
• Strapping scheme
  - the basic connection plan is given in the technical documentation. In front of the column, cut-off valves are installed on the supply and return pipelines. A water filtration system is required.
• Fire requirements during installation
  - the Ariston boiler is hung on a wall made of non-combustible solid material. Wooden surfaces are protected with basalt wool and asbestos or galvanized sheet. When the pipeline passes through the ceilings and the roofing pie, fire breaks are provided.

Ariston gas water heating equipment is not installed in bathrooms, directly above the sink and refrigerator. The connection is performed by representatives of the service department of the manufacturer or the master of Gorgaz.

How to set up an Ariston column

Adjustment of the geyser with a conventional classic device is carried out using two mechanical regulators located on the front of the casing. The left knob controls the intensity of gas combustion, the right one controls the flow rate. The display shows the water temperature. With the help of regulators, the heating is adjusted so that there is no need to mix cold water when washing.

The Ariston columns provide the possibility of transferring to liquefied gas. When re-equipping, they replace nozzles, transfer the water heater to propane.

How to turn on the Ariston column

After closing the water supply tap, the column will turn off. The first start-up of the flow boiler takes place in the presence of the Gas Service inspector. A mark on commissioning is put in the technical passport. Since then, the equipment is under warranty.

How to change batteries in the Ariston column

• at the bottom of the case there is a compartment for installing batteries;
• the lid closes with a swivel mechanism;
• Batteries are placed in accordance with the specified poles.

How to clean the column Ariston

• soot is washed off with a stiff brush with a long pile; ordinary soapy water is used for cleaning;
• scale from the coil is washed out with special chemicals, using pumping equipment;
• a special inspection hatch is provided for cleaning storage tanks.

Equipment from the Italian manufacturer Ariston has long been recognized by consumers due to the high-quality assembly of devices and their long service life. It should also be noted that the devices are affordable due to their assembly in China. The productive gas water heater Ariston is developed according to a special technology, due to which it is fully adapted to Russian conditions, in particular, operation at a low level of water pressure, power surges, etc.

Rules for installing a geyser in an apartment and recommendations for connecting a geyser.

Before installing and connecting a gas water heater in the house, you need to know some rules and requirements that we strongly do not recommend violating.

1. It is forbidden to install gas water heaters in buildings higher than 10 floors.
2. It is not allowed to install gas water heaters in premises with illegal (unregistered) redevelopment. For example, if the kitchen is combined with a living room (due to the fact that gas appliances are installed in non-residential premises). Studio apartments are subject to this ban.
3. According to the new rules, it is forbidden to place gas appliances in wet rooms-bathrooms, the only exception is the kitchen area.
4. Requirements for premises for installation and connection of gas water heaters:

• area not less than 7.5 m2,
• ceiling height not less than 2.2 m.,
• the presence of a window (glazing), a ventilation duct, a chimney channel

Standard kitchens often meet these requirements, provided they are insulated with a door.

All modern models of gas water heaters are the same in terms of assembly and principle of operation, and the requirements for installing gas water heaters are standard:

it is forbidden to install a gas column directly above a gas or electric stove

The horizontal distance between the devices is allowed at least 0.5 m.
installation and connection of a gas water heater is carried out only by specialists, taking into account all the requirements regarding placement, fastening and connections;
when installing a geyser, special attention is paid to compliance with the cross section of the chimney pipes, ensuring their tightness and tightness during installation: - the length of the 1st vertical chimney pipe to the first turning section (corner pipe) should not be less than 30 cm;

- the length of the 1st vertical chimney pipe to the first turning section (corner pipe) should not be less than 30 cm;

- the length of the chimney structure, assembled from nozzles, should not exceed 3 m / rm to inside the chimney wall channel (applies to apartments);

Electronics failures

The presence in modern models of a large presence of electronic components, on the one hand, ensures high safety of the device and ease of use, on the other hand, complicates troubleshooting and subsequent repairs.

The causes of electronics malfunction are mainly related to the influence of external factors - voltage drops in the network, lightning discharges that have fallen into the main gas pipes and water from leaks inside the device getting on the boards. In addition, the failure of individual electronic components due to failures in the electronics itself cannot be ruled out.

The reason that the geyser vector does not light up may be a malfunction of the electronics, and the following situations may occur:

• Lack of spark during ignition;
• Extinguished digital scoreboard;
• The device does not start the first time;
• When working, it constantly shows an alarm signal;
• The protection system is constantly working;
• The device turns on, then turns off again;
• Diagnosing a breakdown usually begins with checking the batteries, old or dead batteries must be replaced with new ones. If there are traces of electrolyte coming out to the terminals, they must be cleaned.

If this operation did not lead to troubleshooting the device, you must call the wizard to check the electronic unit. Most often, in such models, the electronics unit cannot be repaired, it is simply replaced with a new one. During the replacement of the block, the master must examine all the nodes of the device, and when connecting a new block, in addition, test the system and configure its parameters

Particular attention is paid to the presence of leaks at the joints of the nodes and the integrity of the heat exchanger

Operation features

There are a number of regulations and rules according to which the use of gas equipment is allowed. Consider the basic requirements for open type columns:

• It is impossible to start work in the absence of draft in the chimney or in the presence of reverse draft;
• It is not allowed to turn on and carry out ignition without studying the operating instructions;
• For normal operation, natural ventilation is necessary (window, window);
• It is forbidden to change the design of the equipment by yourself.

Columns with an open combustion chamber are most at risk of gas leakage. If you smell, then:

• Close the valve;
• Open windows and ventilate the room;
• Do not start a fire until the room is completely ventilated;
• Contact the repair service.

Before starting the appliance, check for draft in the chimney.

How to properly check

There are two "popular" ways to check:

1. Take a piece of paper and bring it to the chimney or ventilation. If the sheet is tightening, then the mine is working properly. If it falls, then you need to clean the hole.
2. Light a match and bring it to the viewing window. Does the flame deflect to the side? Then you can start the column. If it burns steadily, check the chimney.

It also happens that everything is in order with the mine, but there is no traction. Perhaps the room is not ventilated, so there is no air flow for combustion.

How to turn on the water heater

Before turning on any equipment, there must be water in the heat exchanger. Therefore, the water valve must be opened first.

Electric Models:

• Insert the batteries into the battery compartment;
• In some cases, you need to turn the power or temperature toggle switch;
• Open the gas valve;
• Turn on the mixer at the hot position, which will cause ignition.

Semi-automatic devices:

• Start the fuel supply;
• Set the power and hold the piezo ignition button until the wick ignites;
• When the water is turned on, the burner will light up.

Launching modern technology is easy. But what about the old product?

Ignition of an obsolete type column

A device with manual ignition is considered obsolete. The design provides for constant burning of the wick and manual shutdown. Ignition occurs from a burning match, less often with the help of a piezo ignition. These include: "Iskra KGI-56", series L, GVA, VPG. They are equipped with a turn signal or a lever to regulate the temperature.

The principle of operation is the same as that of modern models. The only difference is in the features of turning on the heating. If you are launching for the first time, then you should know that:

There must be a constant supply of air in the room with the column

This is essential to keep the flame burning. Therefore, a gap of 5 cm is provided in the kitchen doors from below

If plastic windows are installed, a ventilation valve is required;
Traction should be checked regularly;
Check the condition of the gas valve. Open it and anoint the joints with soapy water. If bubbles appear, then there is a leak.

For ignition, it is more convenient to use long matches that reach the igniter well.

Launch of KGI-56

Turn the fuel and water valves. Now turn the left knob all the way to the left. Hold the button of the solenoid valve, if provided in the product. Continuing to press the button, ignite the igniter with a match. Thereafter:

• Open the hot water faucet;
• Turn the other knob to the left to ignite the burner.

Done, you can go take a shower.

Switching on devices such as L, GVA, HSV

Start as with other types by supplying gas and water. Move the handle on the panel to the first position.Press the valve actuation button and bring a match to the igniter. Hold the button for another 10 seconds. In the same way as in the first case, turn on the tap and quickly turn the regulator to the maximum mark. After ignition, you can start using.

You can turn off the technique by turning the lever until the wick is extinguished. It is advisable to do this at night and before leaving home.

Use the water heater correctly for the long life of the device and your own safety. Once a year, carry out preventive inspections of the product, clean the parts from scale.

The right choice of geysers

If you decide to purchase a gas column device for yourself, then pay attention, first of all, to the power of the model you have chosen. It should be enough to provide all members of your family with hot water.

The power of almost all modern models fits into the range from 3 to 60 kilowatts.

Important! The more powerful the geyser, the more water it will be able to heat within a certain period of time. The average "cell of society", consisting of four people, needs a device with an average power of 16-24 kilowatts

It is more than enough to wash the dishes and everyone was able to take a shower. Even if the device has a low power of 16 kilowatts, it will be able to give 10 liters of hot water, which is enough to be able to wash and wash the dishes at the same time. Of course, if you can, then buy a column with a capacity of 24 kilowatts, as it will be able to provide 24 liters of heated water

The average "cell of society", consisting of four people, needs a device with an average power of 16-24 kilowatts.It is more than enough to wash the dishes and everyone was able to take a shower. Even if the device has a low power of 16 kilowatts, it will be able to give 10 liters of hot water, which is enough to be able to wash and wash the dishes at the same time. Of course, if you can, then buy a column with a capacity of 24 kilowatts, as it will be able to provide 24 liters of heated water.

In addition, it is desirable to take into account the water temperature that a particular model can provide. For its designation, the Latin letters DT are used. For example, if water already enters the heat exchanger at a temperature of 12 degrees, then in it it will heat up to 24. therefore, it can be used even without prior dilution.

Today, there are models that are able to heat water even up to 50 degrees. Their power, as well as the cost, is an order of magnitude higher than conventional models. For this reason, if several plumbing elements are connected to the system at once, then it is better to purchase a more powerful column so that it can provide them all with hot water at the same time.

Also, when buying a geyser, see if it is equipped with security sensors. They are of the following types:

• overheating;
• burner damping;
• burning;
• reduced pressure;
• temperature;
• sudden interruption of water supply.

And remember: gas water heaters are only allowed to be installed in the kitchen! Installation of a geyser in the bathroom is prohibited! Unless it (the bathroom) meets all existing requirements.

As a conclusion

So, we have analyzed what a gas water heater is, what are its features, what malfunctions can occur during operation and how to fix them later.We only note that such devices are extremely economical, especially in the light of ever-increasing utility rates. And the last thing: do not forget that the preventive maintenance of the column should be carried out annually.

From the correct use of household appliances depends not only the life of its operation, but also the safety of all households. Especially when it comes to units such as gas water heaters. Let's try to figure out why Ariston brand models are among the most reliable and what are the nuances of their use.

Rules for using the column in apartments

Each Ariston model comes with an instruction manual. The manual explains in detail the basic rules for using the device, safety regulations and much more. If you follow all the recommendations of the manufacturer, then the service life of the unit will be longer, and the likelihood of malfunctions and dangerous situations is less.

Manufacturer's recommendations for use

Main operating instructions:

• Do not place foreign objects on the surface of the device.
• It is allowed to clean and repair the device only when it is disconnected from all power sources (water supply, gas, electricity).
• If foreign odors are detected that come from gas equipment, it must be immediately disconnected from the mains.
• In the event that the controller of the combustion products is out of order, the column must not be turned on.

Only if all the above rules are observed, the use of Ariston gas equipment will be safe.

If the operation of the device is incorrect, and care for it is not proper, this can lead to the most unpredictable consequences, including explosions, fires and fatal poisoning. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble as a result of improper maintenance, it is best to choose a gas company and conclude a maintenance agreement with her.

If you follow all the rules for the operation of the Ariston geyser, it will last a long time and uninterruptedly, providing comfort and coziness in the apartment

Safety regulations

The main safety rules that every consumer who installs in an apartment (house) should know geyser Ariston:

• If you smell gas, you should immediately stop using gas appliances and turn off the taps of all devices. After that, you must immediately call the emergency service.
• It is not allowed to arbitrarily carry out gasification of apartments, as well as disconnecting old and connecting new gas appliances.
• It is forbidden to allow children of preschool age, as well as incapacitated persons, to use the column.
• It is not permissible to use kitchens and other rooms where gas equipment is installed for sleeping and relaxing.

In gasified premises, ventilation ducts must be constantly open, and when using gas appliances, it is also necessary to open the vents.

We reviewed more information on safety measures and rules for the operation of gas equipment in the next article.

Possible difficulties

When setting up a gas water heater, the following problems often arise:

• drops in water pressure in the water supply;
• too low water pressure.

The first problem is solved only by replacing the valve or installing a pressure regulator. Otherwise, pressure drops will lead to increased wear of the device and its failure.

In the second option, the water heater will not even turn on. If the water pressure drops suddenly, you should call the city water utility and find out the reason. Perhaps this problem will be quickly fixed. If in your locality there is always low water pressure, then you will have to purchase a pump that will help increase it.

…

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:

• unit with gas equipment;
• water connection unit;
• exhaust connection system;
• other mechanisms;

Instructions on how to turn on the geyser video

Today, many people use gas water heaters. They provide hot water even when it is turned off. But many consumers have a prejudice that gas water heaters are a great danger. Modern geysers debunk this myth. If you set fire to the column correctly, then it will work properly and is completely safe. Geysers Vaillant, Junkers, Bosch, Ariston enjoy good reviews.

If you have taken care of the arrangement of your country house in advance and installed a gas water heater, you have the last step on the way to a warm and comfortable life. And this step is setting up and properly turning on the column. In order for the gas water heater to work, you will have to do a few simple steps. First, make sure that the gas supply valve that supplies gas to the column is open. Then open the valve responsible for supplying water to the tank of the water heater. Turning on or ignition can be carried out in only three ways, which depend on the design features of the column.

Modern gas boilers are absolutely safe, unlike their early predecessors. Most of the key processes associated with their correct operation are simplified and do not require additional training from the user. But despite this, do not forget that any gas appliance is a source of potential danger.

Consider the example of Bosch WR10.B, WR13.B, WR15.B gas instantaneous water heater models made in Germany, for the markets of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus. These models differ in the amount of heated water.

Before starting, check that the gas and water valves are open and that two 1.5V R batteries are inserted.These models of heaters are equipped with electric ignition, as evidenced by the index B at the end of the name. Electric ignition takes place using batteries.

To turn on the device, you need to press the power button on the front panel of the device, the column is prepared for operation, is in standby mode. In order for the heated water to go, you just need to open the tap. At this point, the pilot flame is ignited and after four seconds the main flame is ignited, so that the pilot flame is extinguished after about twenty seconds.

These devices do not have a constantly burning wick, which is economical as there is no constant gas flow. During a long break in operation, air can accumulate in the gas system, which will prevent the correct operation of the igniter and, as a result, the main burner will not be able to ignite.

To fix this problem, you need to open and close the hot water tap several times. Water heating is regulated by reducing its flow, by turning the valve clockwise it decreases, counterclockwise, respectively, vice versa, the flow increases and the temperature decreases. At a low water temperature, gas costs are reduced and less scale is formed in the heat exchanger.

On the video, in addition to the startup procedure, you can also learn about setting up the column:

Weak or no water pressure

Automation in all columns powered by gas is configured to turn on only if there is a certain pressure of water in the water supply. If there is no water at all, or the pressure is too weak, this will be the reason why the column does not turn on. First of all, you need to check the presence of water - for this you just need to open the valve with cold water.

The next steps will depend on the situation:

• If the water does not flow or its flow is very weak, then the problem is in the water supply. In this case, you just need to wait until they give water with normal pressure.
• If cold water flows normally, then the problem is the clogging of the column itself (read: “Why do you need to clean the gas column and how to clean it correctly“).

To clean the column, you can perform the following actions:

1. Close the supply valve on the gas pipeline.
2. Unscrew the pipes.
3. Remove water heater.
4. Turn the column upside down and place it on a flat surface.
5. Using a syringe, inject the cleaning fluid into the heater. Such a special composition can be bought at specialized points of sale.
6. Wait a few hours for the liquid to work. The time is indicated in the instructions.

If you do not want to do the dirty work yourself, you can invite a specialist.
