Ariston brand speakers
Ariston gas water heaters are top sellers among water heaters due to their characteristics such as ease of use, economy, safety and modern design

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

The water heater consists of the following basic elements:

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

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

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

On the front of the boiler body there is a control panel that allows the user to monitor the operation of the device and set the necessary parameters, there are gas and liquid flow controllers. There may also be a liquid crystal monitor that displays the temperature of the water.

If you briefly describe the principle of operation of a gas column, it consists in the following: gas, burning inside the device, heats tap water, which passes through a heat exchanger, and then drains through a faucet. You can read more about the principle of operation of the gas column in this material.

What you need to know before connecting a gas columnAriston

Ariston water heaters are quite economical and have a low gas consumption. Moreover, the boiler has a wide range of operational capabilities.

Before you start using the Ariston geyser, you must do the following:

  • make sure that the apartment (house) has good ventilation;
  • verify water pressure - if the pressure mark is lower than the indicator of 0.3 atm, then care should be taken for additional recharge of the circuit;
  • if the apartment often has a decrease in water pressure, you need to make sure that there is no fluid leakage from the system itself.

It is important to know that such detected malfunctions as low water pressure should be eliminated only by a specialist.

Column setup
Allow only qualified technicians to install and configure the device. Independent connection of the column to the gas pipeline is not only fraught with fines, but can also cause an accident

Modern gas columns Ariston are versatile and quite easy to use. To put them into action, just press the button. The desired temperature on the gas equipment of the brand is set using special control buttons - to supply hot water it is enough to set 36-56 degrees.

It is also important to know that the water heater starts working immediately after opening the hot water tap. As soon as the user closes the tap, the column stops heating water. If the device must be completely turned off, turn the external switch to the maximum and shut off the gas supply.

Instrument setup at first connection

The first time you turn on the Ariston household gas column, it must be set accordingly. All issues related to the installation of the device are detailed in Operating Instructions.

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

Reliability Ariston Column
Ariston gas boiler is a reliable unit, which, if installed, connected and operated correctly, will provide you with hot water at any time of the year

The correct configuration is carried out according to this algorithm:

  1. Water flow adjustment - at this stage, the flow of water should be adjusted, it must be made minimal (the optimal value is 6, 10 or 12 liters). If this point is not performed at the very beginning, then the entire installation will be inaccurate.
  2. Water temperature adjustment - The hot water faucet must be turned / opened at full power. Moreover, only one valve is allowed to unwind / open one crane in the entire room. Next, the water temperature is adjusted, after which the tap closes.
  3. Gas 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 adjust the gas supply, the toggle switch returns to 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 waiting for the pressure to decrease in the line before starting the installation, 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 evaluate the temperature of the heating stream, which it should be 25 degrees higher than at the outlet. Since the gas boiler heater heats the water gradually, you need to wait.

Experts recommend that you do not increase the temperature of hot water by more than 55 degrees, because in this case scale deposits in the heat exchanger will begin, which can negatively affect the operation of the device. And in time it will take column cleaning.

Ignition water heating devices

Depending on the model of the geyser, there are three ways to light it:

  • manual - with the help of a piezoelectric element or matches (relevant for older models of speakers);
  • electric ignition (from batteries or from a network of 220 V);
  • from a hydraulic turbine.

Manual ignition speakers possible with matchesif it is an old model.

Before you turn on such a gas column Ariston, you must perform the following steps:

  1. Open the water tap connected to the appliance.
  2. Turn the main valve for fuel to the igniter.
  3. Light the match with matches.
  4. Turn on the regulator for gas supply.

This ignition method is not absolutely safe. Therefore, it is necessary to follow all safety rules and to prevent children from accessing the device.

Gas water heater
In order to ignite the water heater manually, open the water supply valves and the main gas supply, then ignite the wick

Manual option with piezo ignition more comfortable. Just press a button to light the wick in the combustion chamber. Water heaters withpiezo ignition You can not turn it off completely - when the water is turned off, only the wick will burn. Less method: increased gas consumption.

Devices with automatic ignition most safe and convenient to use. This option is equipped with the latest models of water heating equipment.

Detailed instructions for turning on the brand column Ariston with automatic ignition:

  1. Make sure that the tap at the cold water inlet to the water heater is open.
  2. Make sure that the gas valve is also open.
  3. Check that the batteries are installed correctly (1.5 V LR20).
  4. Turn the adjustment knob between the minimum and maximum positions.

To turn off the gas water heater, just close the hot water tap. If you want to completely turn off the gas column, first you need to turn the handle (on the control panel) to the OFF position until it stops. Then close the gas valve on the pipeline.

After complete release from water, close the water valve in the water supply in front of the gas column.

Auto turn-on speaker
Automatically switched on gas water heaters are considered the simplest and most comfortable to use. In order to light the column, it is enough to check whether the batteries are inserted correctly and turn the knob between the divisions “minimum” and “maximum”
