Geyser Electrolux 285 operating instructions. Geyser Electrolux: review of models and prices. Electrolux column - malfunctions and methods for eliminating them

Initially, all Electrolux products were manufactured in Sweden. The constant increase in production capacity led to the fact that the company's representative offices and factories were opened in many countries.

Russian consumers can buy Electrolux geysers produced in China. Factories carry out mandatory testing of flow-through boilers and check for compliance with high quality standards.

Review of the Electrolux gas boiler range

The Electrolux company produces several models of instantaneous gas water heaters. The line includes speakers with open and closed camera combustion, conventional and modulating burner, mechanical and electronic control unit.

Five models of flow columns are available to domestic consumers:


The cost of Electrolux speakers varies from 6,700 to 17,000 rubles. The price is affected by the type of control unit, as well as the presence of flame modulation. Detailed technical specifications are described in the table:

How to use an Electrolux speaker

All Electrolux gas water heaters operate in automatic mode. Internal structure thought out to the smallest detail, making operation as comfortable as possible. When the DHW tap is opened, the automatic system is activated and the main burner is ignited. Hot water reaches the consumer within 10-15 seconds. After closing the tap, the flame dies out.

A permit to operate an Electrolux gas water heater is not required. When preparing documents for connection, it is enough to provide a passport for the speaker or indicate the exact name of the model.

How to turn on an Electrolux speaker

Almost all leading manufacturers of instantaneous gas water heaters indicate in their operating instructions that installation must be performed by a qualified specialist. In domestic joint ventures and SNiP there is a similar instruction. In accordance with existing standards DIY connection is prohibited. If fulfilled self installation, then upon subsequent access to service center Don't expect free service. For all work, even if you haven't passed it yet warranty period you'll have to pay.

According to current regulations, the connection can be made by:

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

A mark and stamp is placed in the boiler passport about connecting and putting the device into operation.

There are several basic connection rules:

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

The column is supplied with fastening elements and anchor plate. The column is hung on a wall made of dense solid building materials.

How to set up an Electrolux speaker

For adjustment on the front side of the water heater casing there are mechanical regulators flow of water and gas. Most Electrolux speakers have an LED display connected to a heating sensor that shows the water temperature.

To change the power, increase or decrease the gas supply, changing the intensity of the flame, focusing on the digital indicators displayed on the screen.

In the Electrolux gas water heater with flame modulation, adjustments are made 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.

Adjust temperature by stirring cold water hot is prohibited.

How to clean an Electrolux speaker

There are several parts that are most susceptible to contamination:

• Electrolux column heat exchanger- the inside of the tubes become overgrown with scale, the outside of the radiator is covered with soot;
• burner - jets become clogged with soot.

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

Electrolux column - malfunctions and methods for eliminating them

The operating instructions indicate common causes of water heater failure. Judging by consumer reviews, the Electrolux flow-through gas water heater is generally a fairly reliable water heater that rarely fails.

Common malfunctions of the Electrolux gas instantaneous boiler are described in the table:

	What caused the problem	Elimination methods
The burner does not turn on.	No gas supply. The water supply pipeline is blocked. The batteries are dead or incorrectly installed.	You should open the gas supply valve and cold water supply to the column. Open the feed hot water. Replace batteries. When using new batteries, check that they are installed correctly.
Poor water heating.	Insufficient gas pressure. The water regulator is set to maximum.	The gas supply to the burner is increased using the first regulator. The water flow rate is reduced using the second regulator.
The main burner goes out during operation.	The chimney is clogged. Insufficient pressure in the water supply pipeline.	The chimney technician cleans the chimney. You should contact the housing office or other self-government body. Increase water flow.
There is a smell of gas.	Gas leak.	Turn off the water heater. Contact the gas service immediately.

Most faults, as can be seen from the table, can be resolved independently. If the boiler does not work after following the described recommendations, you should contact the Gas Service or service center and call a technician.

To start Electrolux, you need water to get into the system. To do this, first of all, open the tap and drain a little water. It is important to inspect all pipe connections for leaks.

After this, the gas valve opens. In this case, a characteristic sound of gas entering the system will be heard. After this, you can turn on the tap, from which heated water should flow. The tap opens immediately to its maximum. If the water pressure is strong enough, you will hear the crackling sound of the piezo ignition spark in the column and the sound of gas igniting. For the water heater to work, the pressure must be in the range from 0.15 to 10 atmospheres. After a short time the water will heat up. If the column is new, the water may have a slight smell of machine oil, which will wash off over time.

When using an Electrolux gas water heater, it is not recommended to dilute heated water with cold water. When you turn on cold water, resistance to hot water is created, the flow decreases, and the column may go out. You need to set a comfortable temperature level in advance and adjust it as needed on the column itself. To make the water a little hotter, you can reduce the water flow. But at the same time, if the pressure is too low, the flame will automatically go out.

Regular use

Geysers from left to right Electrolux GWH 275, 285, 350

To extend the service life of the Electrolux geyser, it is important to follow several recommendations during use hot water.

The most expensive part of the 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, so scale forms on it. It is not recommended to set the maximum water temperature. Optimal temperature for work 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 changes in the structure.

If you know that the hardness of your water is high, it is advisable to additionally install a purification system. Calcium and magnesium salts contained in such water quickly create scale in the thermostat. Installing a filter at the inlet of the device will extend the life of the device.

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

Safety precautions

Any gas equipment requires compliance with safety regulations. Before starting work, it is important to carefully read the official instructions.

Here are the main excerpts from these instructions:

• Electrolux 275, 285 and 350 columns are equipped with gas attenuation control and water temperature limitation.
• First of all, when using a gas water heater for a long time, you should check the chimney draft from time to time. To do this, bring a match to it and determine the presence of air flow by the movement of the flame. Gas workers have special instruments to measure traction force. It is recommended to check once every three months.
• For safety reasons, the window must be open during operation of the column. A two-centimeter gap is made at the bottom of the room door.
• Install water heaters in a place protected from access by small children. It is prohibited to make changes to the design yourself. Some parts of the water heater may be hot and you may get burned.
• If you smell gas in the room, you should immediately put out the fire, turn off the power to the heater, turn off all electrical appliances and call emergency services. Access to gas pipes and equipment and also tie clotheslines to them.
• If the column is installed in a room without heating, in cold weather, when it is not in use, you need to remove water from it.

Advantages

Geysers Electrolux 275, 285 and 350 have a number of advantages compared to other models of water heaters:

• Low price simple design and at the same time high reliability. The absence of a large number of fancy electronics reduces the likelihood of device failure.
• Large and bright display. There is also a battery charge indicator on it, which allows you to replace them in time.
• Quiet operation. Quiet start and low flame noise.
• High speed of water heating.
• Ability to work with low water pressure.
• Easy to find components. Electrolux 275, 285 and 350 columns are among the most popular water heaters. If repair or replacement is necessary, you can easily find the necessary parts.
• High performance. Electrolux 275, 285 and 350 water heaters can heat 10, 11 and 14 liters per minute, respectively.
• There is protection against gas extinction and water overheating.
• Large and convenient gas level and pressure regulators.

One of the disadvantages is that the throttle control knob is too sensitive. And a feature of all geysers is the need for high water pressure, without which it simply cannot start.

If you install the Electrolux geyser correctly and follow safety precautions when using it, it will regularly supply you with hot water and will last a long time. Over time, users get used to the operating features of gas water heaters and consider them the best choice.

Repair and maintenance of geyser Electrolux GWH 285 ERN NanoPro

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 carried out by a separate temperature sensor located on the traction breaker. 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 intended only to demonstrate the operation of the device and can even leak, flooding the electronics. GWH 285 is very convenient to use, easy to repair, but is not a long-term device. It consists of separate components: 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 used in very damp areas, when installed directly above the bathtub and untimely cleaning of soot (recommended once a year), weak draft causes corrosion and thermal destruction of the heat exchanger. Further operation impossible.

Replacing the heat exchanger does not cause any particular difficulties. For dismantling protective casing it is necessary to remove the control handles; there is a screw under the left handle.

Filming flexible liner from the heat exchanger outlet, unscrew the heat exchanger from the water unit, remove the draft breaker and take out the heat exchanger (up).

Then we install the heat exchanger through the top, install the draft breaker, fix the heat exchanger with latches and screw it in, water inlet and outlet.

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

Replacing the original heat exchanger with a Tula one is somewhat more complicated. The Tula heat exchanger is made to the same dimensions, but with “Russian precision”. You have to slightly bend the traction breaker and the heat exchanger itself. The kit includes wires for fixing the heat exchanger instead of standard brackets, but it is better to stock up on soft copper wire for fixing the heat exchanger. But still the Tula heat exchanger better production China (thicker copper and heat-resistant coating).

If there is no ignition and there are no 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 good, you need to ring the temperature sensor on the traction breaker and make sure that the automatic switch is working. To do this, it must be dismantled and turned on manually.

It is easier to check from the connector that is connected 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 failure of the automation switch is inevitable. The switch body is collapsible; a microswitch is installed inside, which can be re-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 of this is exposed to bad water and gets clogged.

Repair is made by replacement rubber seals and membranes, it is naturally better to change the entire assembly.

In June 2017, a repair kit for the water unit produced in N. Novgorod appeared. The repair kit contains rubber rings, a membrane, and lubricant. The repair kit can be purchased from us.

Breakdowns of the gas unit occurred a few times, mainly when supplying water to gas unit in case of an erroneous connection.

The gas unit is not repairable.

Electronics rarely fail, 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 have not been supplied since 2015. There are spark plugs with very similar installation dimensions from gas boiler Electrolux GCB Basic.

Replacing GWH 285 ERN NanoPro spark plugs with spark plugs from the Electrolux GCB Basic boiler is possible. The improvements are minor.

When using the speaker during damp room popping occurs almost always. 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, accordingly, does not see the flame. This repair is carried out by substituting known good spare parts, first the spark plug block (most often they are to blame), then the electronic unit. Loss of tightness occurs due to burnout or corrosion of the heat exchanger or wear of the sealing rings of the water unit. Determining the location of a water leak is not particularly difficult.

Spontaneous extinguishing of the column usually occurs due to clogging of the heat exchanger with soot and scale. The problem is eliminated by comprehensive cleaning. Column extinguishing can occur even if the column is working properly. This is usually the correct functioning of the gas control system. If the draft in the chimney is weak, combustion products are not completely removed, the draft breaker overheats, and the temperature sensor of the gas control system and temperature sensor overheats and turns off the power from the electronic unit. The column goes out and can be turned on again after the column has cooled down. Weak draft may be due to a clogged chimney, hot weather, wind pressure, etc.

Very often the owners themselves are to blame. Install the speaker in the bathroom without providing air flow. In one hour of operation of the column you need to burn 1.5-2 cubic meters of gas, to burn 1.5-2 cubic meters of gas you need 16-24 cubic meters. air, if installed in an apartment plastic windows and a good apartment door, the speaker will simply suffocate without air and go out. Water pressure is very important. If the pressure is low, the column will not turn on. A water flow of at least 5-6 liters per minute is required. Automation works based on the speed of 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 conversion option to LPG is not available for the GWH 285 ERN NanoPro. Nozzles for liquefied gas are missing.

Maintenance of any geyser is necessary once a year. This is washing 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 geysers.

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

Technical features

Electrolux water heaters are considered reliable and safe units that can operate at one or 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 geysers differ according to 5 main criteria:

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

To decide on an option, you should study each item in detail and identify for yourself the main criteria by which the selection will be made.

Power

On at the moment the company produces modifications of three groups, differing in level of performance and power:

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

Each option involves working on a certain number of intake points. For example, low-power ones can operate with only 1 mixer, medium-power ones with 2-3, powerful ones with 3 or more water intake points.

Control

Units with manual control have long been considered obsolete, so geyser manufacturers have developed an updated version. Modern models are equipped with a burner with modulated power.

The priority is basic control of equipment operation

This aspect controls the temperature of the water and maintains it at a given level even with a decrease or increase in pressure in the plumbing system. Temperature selection will be carried out at an automated level.

Type of ignition

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

• manual ignition using a lighter or matches - outdated method, which 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 button.

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

Security level

The Electrolux geyser is equipped with a 3 or 4-level security system. If dangerous problems occur in the form of a gas or water leak or an increase in pressure in the pipeline system, an emergency shutdown device is activated in the device. The following situations are also hazardous to the user’s health:

• education reverse thrust or lack thereof;
• fire extinguishing in the burner.

It should be noted that the formation of backdraft is considered a particularly dangerous factor in rooms with a chimney. When selecting 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 from this brand is varied in both technical parameters, and by the presence of various additional options. But it is also worth noting the many design solutions. For example, the company produces models for conservative individuals with a minimalist style; this series includes 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 your needs. general style rooms.

Laconic execution and small sizes attract owners of apartments and country houses

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

Popular models of geysers Electrolux

Italian products are in demand all over the world thanks to high quality, durability and safety. Among the abundance of offers, users identify three versions of devices.

Electrolux GWH 275-SRN

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

Also available additional function in the form of a limiter temperature regime warming up. There are 2 main adjustment levers on the body, so the problem is how to turn on gas water heater there will be no questions.

Unit Electrolux 275 s classic design sold at a price of 6,000 to 7,000 rubles.

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

Electrolux GWH 265 Nano Plus

The Electrolux GWH 265 ERN Nanoplus geyser has a low price - 8,500-9,000 rubles, making it affordable wide range 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 consisting 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 power of the unit to operate at several water intake points will not be enough.

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

Electrolux GWH 285 ERN Nanopro

The Electrolux 285 Nano Pro geyser is considered a more advanced modification, as it is equipped with 4 levels of safety:

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

This version was developed for homes located in regions where problems constantly arise with the level of pressure in the centralized gas or water supply system. The unit is not included in the classification of powerful devices, but it can operate with low water pressure.

Judging by the reviews of real people, the electrical equipment is of high quality and reliable, but it heats the water excessively, even at minimum heating values ​​and at high blood pressure. Some report problems with the heat exchanger.

Thanks to the average pricing policy for Electrolux devices, each consumer will be able to choose the most optimal modification not only for technical requirements, but also cost. If you have a limited budget, experts recommend giving preference to an 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 water and gas.

Interruptions in hot water supply deprive us of our usual comfort. To prevent this from happening, you can use additional features obtaining hot water. One of the devices dedicated to this purpose is the gas water heater. If you learn how to use it correctly, the equipment will be easy to use. And one of current issues: how to turn on the gas water heater?

One of the most common myths that scares away potential buyers is that such equipment is dangerous to use. However, this bias operates 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, in which in an emergency the fuel supply is cut off.

To know the rules of use, you should make a presentation of it internal device. Models from any company include all of the following elements:

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

The body itself resembles appearance a cabinet that connects to the water supply and gas pipelines. Heating elements located in its lower part and 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 lights up;
• the gas will go to the main burner, where it is ignited by the igniter;
• the heat will heat the water;
• combustion products are removed through a system of chimneys and hoods.

How to ignite the device

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

• open the water supply connected to the device;
• open the main valve to allow fuel to 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.

Using piezo ignition

We can say that this column is semi-automatic. How to use a gas water heater of this type? It will be enough press the button to ignite the wick in the combustion chamber. With the help of mechanical force, the spark is transformed - it is enough to ignite the ignition filter. With this method, a number of mandatory requirements must also be met:

• in order to light the main burner, you will need to turn on the main regulator in the fuel supply;
• The ignition filter will remain lit when the regulator is returned to the main position and the water is turned off.

IN similar designs there is a drawback - excessive fuel consumption. Vivid examples of such columns are Bosch models WR 10-2 P miniMAXX-2, Nevalux 5111, Junkers WR 10-2 PB and other options.

Automatically

The ability to automatically turn on is provided by fully improved modifications that are easy and safe to use even for beginners. Hydropower system are offered by most modern manufacturers (Bosch, its direct competitor Electrolux and many others). The process of starting work is simplified to the limit.

1. For example, in the Bosch Therm 6000 O, water pressure drives a turbine. It runs inside the device automatic system Both the wick and the main burner were ignited.
2. The manufacturer Bosch has the Therm 2000 O and Therm 4000 O lines, which carry out electric ignition from batteries (you will need to monitor their service life).
3. Bosch AM1E series speakers already have a digital control panel that will show everything at once possible errors inclusions.

The fully automated process has one drawback: many homes have low pressure in the water supply, and this may not be enough for the turbine to operate properly. In addition, such devices are significantly more expensive than their less advanced counterparts.

Mandatory Precautions

Any purchased equipment comes with instructions for correct operation geyser. The principle of operation of most of them is identical to that stated above, but here the red line should be highlighted by mandatory compliance with safety precautions.

1. Required to carry out preventive cleaning geyser in order to avoid disruption of the efficiency of its operation (how to do this can be read in the document that comes with the geyser - instructions).
2. It is important to check the condition of the chimney ducts - this will help avoid blockages.
3. If the device fails, you should immediately contact gas service. Trying to fix the problem yourself is prohibited.

The activation of the unit is shown in more detail in the video:

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