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 for today.
- Compactness. Easy to fit in the cramped kitchen.
Safety and operating rules
In order for the gas water heater to work as long as possible, you must comply with the requirements for the use of hot water. The most expensive part of the device is the thermostat. It is copper, reliable and durable, but it is susceptible to scale formation as a result of constant contact with hot water. If possible, do not set the maximum temperature performance indicators - 45-50 degrees is enough for taking a bath, shower, and this temperature is safe for the column itself.
A tap is provided to adjust the values on the right side of the control display. This approach will avoid too sharp pressure surges, premature failure of the structure.
Another point is the increased hardness of the water. To correct it, you need to apply a cleaning system. If this is not done, the magnesium and calcium salts will quickly build up scale in the thermostat. The filter is a relatively small cost, but it is guaranteed to extend the life of the equipment.
Important! The presence of a filter is not a guarantee of the absence of scale, it is formed, just in smaller quantities.
Since it is impossible to prevent the formation of limescale 100%, you need to do regular cleaning of the column. The optimal frequency of the procedure is every 6-12 months. Someone does the work on their own, other users turn to professional craftsmen. During routine maintenance, you need to remove scale from the thermostat, carbon deposits from the burner.
It is also imperative to observe safety precautions. First, carefully study the operating instructions for your model - it will detail the features of installation, switching on, off, possible emergency situations and methods of their elimination.
Key points to consider:
- Regular checking of the draft is mandatory - for this, a match is brought to the chimney, the quality of the draft is determined by the movement of the flame. If the flame does not go out or remains in place, the column is faulty. The check should be done at least once a quarter, if problems are found, immediately contact the specialists.
- For the installation of devices, they choose convenient, child-protected, non-walkable places. Near the column, during its operation, the window must be open, and the door in the room must have a hole a couple of centimeters at the bottom to remove possible combustion products.
- It is strictly forbidden to unauthorized and do it yourself.
- Some parts of the equipment are hot; it is highly undesirable to touch them with bare hands, as there is a risk of getting burned.
- If you smell gas in the room, de-energize the equipment, turn off electrical appliances.
It is impossible to obstruct access to communications, hang up ropes. If the columns are not used in unheated rooms during the cold season, you need to remove the water from them.
Types of gas water heaters
There are two designs of AEG water heaters:
- Flowing. Low cost price. Compactness, simplicity of the device.
- Accumulative. The principle of their operation is similar to the 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.

Principle of operation and design
Structurally, AEG water heaters do not differ from their competitors. When the user opens the valve, the reducer acts on the valve, gas flows to the burner and ignites it. Heating starts. She moves along the coil. At the exit - a hot stream. When the water supply tap is closed, the valve returns to its original position, the flame goes out. Devices with an open combustion chamber are called atmospheric. They consist of:
- metal case;
- burners;
- igniter;
- heat exchanger;
- copper coil;
- automatic gas supply valve;
- water reducer;
- piezo ignition systems;
- branch pipes supplying gas and water supply pipes;
- chimney and combustion products removal systems.
The turbocharged models - with forced exhaust, have design features:
- Modulating type burner - can change the strength of the flame automatically.
- The fan, controlled by the electronic unit, blows air.
- Auto ignition - provided by batteries, a hydrogenerator or an electrical network.
- A sensor that controls water heating. The maximum value is 60-70 ° C and depends on the model.
Features of the device and purpose
The gas water heater Electrolux is reliable and has a well thought-out design. The design is energy-intensive, kept in the style of minimalism. Toggle knobs are provided on the body - they are used to switch modes, adjust heating power, and supply water. The throughput of the devices is about 16 liters of water per minute, but much depends on the model, check. The purpose is universal, there are no restrictions in terms of installation objects. Any exhaust system.
Structurally, the Electrolux gas water heater consists of:
- Control pads (there are adjustment buttons);
- Heat exchanger (copper);
- Valve (electromagnetic);
- Inlets (water, gas);
- Outlets for hot water supply;
- Chimney holes;
- Drain tap;
- Fasteners.
That is, the device of the Electrolux gas water heater is relatively simple, all devices are repairable. The equipment is ideally adapted to the needs of the Russian market, calmly takes a sharp drop in pressure in water and gas systems.
The main purpose of the units is to supply hot water. It is possible to install Electrolux gas water heaters in residential and commercial premises.
Power
Electrolux water heaters of the automatic type come in three categories in terms of performance:
- 1st stage - from 17 to 19 kW;
- 2nd stage - 22-24 kW.
- 3rd degree - 28-31 kW.
The more powerful the installation, the more expensive it is. It makes no sense to pay just like that, but you need to understand that a device of the 1st degree of performance with solid loads simply cannot cope.
Control
Manual adjustment is not the most convenient option, since the water pressure in the system is constantly changing. Electrolux water heaters are equipped with modulating power burners that automatically regulate the gas supply.
Ignition type
Among the features of the brand's gas water heaters, the type of ignition is distinguished.
Possible options:
- Spark - match, lighter, outdated version, the system is used only in very old models;
- Turbines or batteries are the most functional, modern, simple and reliable option. The tap opens and the device starts to work;
- Piezo - with this functionality there are Electrolux gas columns of the Nano Pro series.
Good to know. Piezo ignition is the most modern and popular option. The device has a special button for quick activation. The method is not suitable for models installed at a distance from the access point (that is, it is difficult for a person to reach the button).
Safety
The geyser Electrolux VPG and other series is equipped with a security system of 3 or 4 levels. This ensures an accurate, fast shutdown of the installation in the event of incorrect operating input parameters.
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.
AEG Geysers - Troubleshooting Tips
_______________________________________________________________________________
The gas flowing column AEG GWH 11 RN is in operation semiautomatic device. Tell me why she didn't heat the water well enough? What can you advise me to do to fix the problem? The first problem is that the heat exchanger is clogged with dirt. The accumulation of plaque on the heat exchanger body makes it difficult to heat the water as needed, and the device will begin to heat up the water unsatisfactorily. Therefore, you must clean the heat exchanger. Secondly, the frequent overheating of the heat exchanger. This indicates improper use of the unit. The rise in temperature leads to the formation of scale, which stops the heating of the coolant. In this case, it is recommended to replace the heat exchanger. I operate a gas water heater of this model in a private house. And now, after 6 years, the heat exchanger began to leak. The repair did not help for long, and after three months a new unit was purchased. The installer advised cleaning and maintenance every year. I cleaned and did prophylaxis. In short, this device has worked for three years, and the breakdown is the same - the wear of the heat exchanger. Why might this be happening? Apparently, there are problems with water quality, in connection with which the heat exchangers fail. In a private house, a model of just such a brand is connected. Help me understand why excessive heating of water can occur from time to time? What kind of malfunction is this? The regulators may be incorrectly adjusted. Installation must be done for the summer season. Set the gas flow adjusting knob to minimum gas on the burner, and then increase the water flow on the column. There is a malfunction in the gas instantaneous water heater AEG GWH 14 RN. The igniter ignites, I leave it in this position for about 4 minutes. Then I put it into working mode, but the unit dies out. Why could this be? Try to remove the body, unscrew the tube through which the gas goes to the wick, and rinse. In general, this event must be held at least once a year, especially after summer, when dust enters the gas pipe through the open windows. I can't figure out what the problem is, when a gas water heater sometimes does not perform well the heating process. How can this be fixed? There is probably a weak flame on the burner, indicating that the diaphragm is worn out, and the stem is not pressing on the gas valve. It is recommended to dismantle the water block from the gas device.Then remove the cover from the water unit and inspect the membrane for deformations, and if it is unusable, replace it. Six months ago, a gas water heater of this model was connected in the house for heating. Recently there was a problem with ignition. When a request for DHW comes in, the wick is ignited. It ignites and quickly goes out, and then the water heater starts up again. And so two or three attempts. The unit then operates normally. I can't figure out why the igniter's fire can't ignite the main burner? What can happen? At the moment, the water heater operates according to this principle. A spark appears, which ignites the igniter. Then the spark discharge disappears, the igniter burns for a short time and goes out. The device again gives out a spark discharge, the igniter is ignited, the spark disappears, and after a short period of time the main burner is ignited. There is probably a problem with the ionization sensor. Initially, you need to inspect it. Of course, it is more expedient to put a new one, but if it fails, you need to clean this one with sandpaper. Also clean the burner using a metal brush. After these measures, it is important to check that the burner flame is blue and not yellow. In addition, the flame must reach the ionization sensor. We installed and commissioned a gas flow column AEG GWH 11 with batteries last year. But in the winter period, a problem is systematically noted, namely, poor gas supply, moreover, not clean gas is supplied. How can the malfunction be rectified? There is a tuning screw on the bottom of the unit. We recommend turning it to the left with the burner on and adjusting the correct flame value. In the summertime, you can turn it back. If this does not correct the situation, then the line pressure is indeed lowered. The gas water heater has been operating in a private house for about four years. The other day the igniter stopped working, and if you try to light it with matches, the flame can immediately go out when the regulator is moved to the operating mode. What can you advise? I have observed the same problem. The repairmen explained that the thermocouple was damaged. Prompt a household gas water heater. When you open the hot water tap, the water heater goes out. I cleaned the thermocouple, but the result is zero. The membrane was examined, it is suitable, although it was replaced with a new one anyway. There is a decrease in the water pressure, albeit insignificantly. Where to look for the source of the problem? It can be assumed that there is a lack of traction or that the traction sensor is broken. We advise you to check it out. Occasionally, instead of a thrust sensor, a curved tube is placed at the top of the column. Air flows through it, which supports combustion. In case of malfunctions with the draft, not air passes through the tube, but flue gases. As a result, the burner does not receive enough oxygen, therefore it goes out. In addition, we recommend checking the flame of the ignition device. It must completely enclose the thermocouple. If this is not the case, the thermocouple heats up slightly and does not give a ignition signal to the main burner. The day before yesterday I discovered a serious malfunction: the geyser of the AEG GWH 11RN semiautomatic device began to turn off during operation. Can you please tell me what the problem is and how to solve it? It looks like the membrane of the water assembly is faulty. It could be worn out or deformed, for this reason it needs to be changed. Also, this malfunction is sometimes associated with the EMC valve, since there is an electromagnetic coil inside it, which could break. The coil is not repairable, only for replacement. Tell someone about the malfunction of the gas column. 2-3 minutes after starting, the device completely extinguishes, and then the ignition burner can only be ignited with the help of matches. Explain to me what to do? We assume that there is not enough draft in the chimney, therefore the draft sensor is triggered and the device goes out. A chimney check is required.In addition, overheating of the liquid in the heat exchanger is possible when the temperature rises to 90 degrees. Because of this, an overheating sensor is triggered, which contributes to the extinction of the burner flame. To lower the water temperature, it is necessary to reduce the gas on the main burner using the regulator. Interested in this question, why does the gas column ignite and may soon go out? What methods should be used to eliminate this kind of malfunction? The first reason is a dirty chimney. It probably contains a fair amount of soot, and the flue gases are poorly discharged, as a result of which the draft sensor will work. It will open the thermocouple and the water heater flame will go out. The second reason is the increased wind, which is able to extinguish the flame of the unit if there is a draft in the room. This will activate the protective system and block the flow of gas. Strong gusts of wind should not be allowed. But still, you should not completely restrict the access of fresh air, since the device must work with an open window. When working without fresh air, there is a lack of traction and the flame will start to extinguish. The household gas water heater AEG 11RN is in operation. Explain, please, why it began to heat the water excessively? What steps are required to correct the situation? High blood pressure is a possible cause. Switch the regulator of the heating medium heating temperature to the maximum flow rate, and the gas regulator must be set to the minimum gas supply to the burner device. This procedure helps to reduce the temperature of the water leaving the column. What is the reason that a delay in ignition may occur, and the gas burner device claps loudly? The ignition burner fire does not reach the main burner, or it is weak. It is required to clean the ignition device and the nozzle. Then make the setting. Disruption in the work of the column. I try to launch, the spark is visible, but the ignition of the igniter does not appear. How to fix? Pilot burner nozzle clogged. You must purge. The ignition electrode is not in the correct position. Adjust it. There is air in the gas line. Eliminate air. We installed and started up a gas water heater AEG GWH 11e with batteries. The problem is that the device turns on, but then goes out after a few seconds. This is especially the case at night, when the unit has been in standby mode for some time. In addition, if it is constantly heating the water, it does not turn off. With a long click of the microswitch, the water heater ignites and works without question for three to four days. What is this reason? Do not flip the microswitch, it is better to install a new one, since yours is faulty. The actions of the device are approximately as follows. Initially, a spark is formed, it goes to the ignition device. The ionisation signal is passed, gas is supplied to the main burner, the flame is ignited. If there is no signal that the pilot burner is working, the main burner will not turn on either. Your igniter transmits a signal, but the main burner cannot start. Ignition has started, but there is no signal, so the gas supply is blocked. You need to clean the electrode. The device of this particular company is in operation. What causes the ignition device to go out at the time of ignition? What kind of malfunction is this? The thermocouple is inoperative. Replace it. Coil defective. Change it. There is a question about the operation of the AEG GWH 11e N 13 column. The situation is this: the igniter caught fire, but the main burner could not. What to do and how to fix it? The water pressure is too low. Adjust the recommended system pressure. For what it is necessary to turn the switch all the way to the right. Diaphragm wear. Change it. The country house has a water heater. If the water supply is interrupted, the gas burner device continues to work. What is the source of the problem? The gas valve plug is clogged.Check it out. Clean if necessary. The movement of the water valve stem when open is impeded. Dismantle elements, clean, replace if necessary. Check the gas supply pressure. Make adjustments if necessary. Change the cylinder pressure reducer. Can't figure out what causes the spark to disappear when the unit is turned on? The wire of the ignition element is disconnected. Secure the wires properly. Damage to the ignition element. This component should be inspected and repaired. Inoperative ignition electrode. Change it to a new one.

_____________________________________________________________
- OASIS
Malfunction of the Oasis TUR 20 gas water heater. In the "Summer" mode, the gas and water regulator is at maximum. It goes out by itself, when after 5 minutes, when after 30. In the "Winter" mode, with any combination of regulators, it goes out after 30-40 seconds. What can be wrong? Water supply with flexible hoses. Could they be the cause? If so, what to replace?
- VECTOR
Tell me I have such a problem: when the water is turned off, the column ignites itself, the temperature rises and does not turn off (I had to remove the batteries), I put the batteries back (I do not turn on the water), it lights up, what should I do?
- ASTER
Help me find the reason, the Astra 8910-02 gas water heater, when hot water is on, it goes out from time to time, I cleaned the thermocouple to shine, the membrane is in good condition, but just in case replaced it with a new one, the water pressure is less than that of cold water, what else note?
- BOSCH
I installed and put into operation a Bosch WR 13 gas water heater. I moved the nozzles to liquefied gas, remove the jumper from j6, that is, switched to liquefied gas mode, but the column does not work, who knows what about this? When turned on, the green button lights up for a couple of seconds, and then the red starts blinking and only the fan turns on.
- JUNKERS
The Junkers gas water heater began to malfunction. It works for 15-20 minutes and goes out. You turn off and turn on the water, the igniter lights up, and after a few seconds it goes out, and you can do this at least how many times, it does not ignite. A little time passes - it works, and again everything repeats itself. The water pressure is good, the gas pressure too. What could be the reason?
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 - on the contrary.
- 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.
Review of several models of geysers Electrolux: GWH 265 ERN NanoPlus
This model of equipment costs 6800 rubles. The column has modern electronic control and display with indication, which allows the user to control the operation of the device. The model has a heat exchanger made of acid-free copper, manufactured using modern OXYGEN FREE technology. The heat exchanger is completely safe, reliable and durable. The service life of the column is increased thanks to the multi-level security system.
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 our 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 submit 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.
How to use the Electrolux column
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
do-it-yourself connection is prohibited
According to the current regulations, the connection can be made by:
- representatives of the company that sold the water heater;
- gas service specialists.
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.
How to set up the Electrolux column
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 adjust the temperature by mixing cold water with hot water.
How to clean an Electrolux column
- 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.
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.
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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
Design
- The GWH series water heater has a multi-level security system.
- The first level of the security system is the traction sensor. The sensor is triggered in the absence or appearance of reverse flow, shutting off the gas supply to the main burner.
- The second level of the safety system is a thermocouple, which automatically stops the gas supply when the ignition burner flame goes out.
- The third level of safety is a hydraulic safety valve, which is necessary so that gas flows to the main burner only if water is circulating in the heat exchanger. This protects the gas water heater from overheating.
- The modulating burner automatically adjusts the flame height in response to pressure drops in the water supply system and an increase in water consumption, thereby ensuring the set heating temperature.
- Gas flowing water heaters Electrolux are equipped with a copper heat exchanger.
- The heat exchanger is made of electrolytic copper, the construction of which prevents the formation of scale, and a special coating protects the heat exchanger from high temperatures.
- The burner in Electrolux water heaters is made of high quality stainless steel, which significantly increases its service life.
- The column turns on automatically when you open a hot water tap, thanks to an electric spark from the batteries. After closing the hot water tap, the flame of the pilot burner is automatically turned off. The absence of a pilot burner flame significantly reduces the gas consumption.
- Gas water heater Electrolux of the GWH series can operate in one of two modes - more economical or more powerful.
- The chimney diameter is 110 mm, which makes it possible to connect the water heater to almost any exhaust system.
- True European quality based on modern technologies, perfect design of the water heater and a high level of safety enable reliable and stable operation.
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.
- It is required to conduct preventive cleaning
gas water heater in order to avoid disruption of the efficiency of its operation (how to do this, you can read in the document that goes to the gas water heater - instructions). - It is important to check the condition of the chimney ducts - this will help to avoid clogging.
- If the device fails, you should immediately contact gas service
... Unauthorized attempts to fix the problem are prohibited.

Errors during the operation of the gas water heater: what to do
Even the highest quality technique is not eternal and not ideal.
Let's consider the main errors of the equipment, we will show you what to do to eliminate them:
- Lack of inclusion - check batteries, traction, ventilation quality. If you find an error, fix it.
- Weak heating - when mixing hot and cold water, hot water should go stronger, otherwise the column will go out. Correct the temperatures.
- Gas smell - shut off the mains supply, contact the service center.
Certain trouble codes may be displayed, each has its own meaning.
Examples:
- E0 - there is no sensor activation, the system is overheated, replace the sensor or other faulty parts;
- E1 - the batteries are dead, they need to be replaced;
- E2 - the ionization flame sensor has triggered, check the burner.
