Safety & Total Hygiene The water heaters in Ariston’s Lydos Eco series have passed all the safety tests required to be fully compliant with the CE directives. The copper heating element helps to increase the hygiene and purity of the heated water. Anti-Bacteria/Legionella (Thermal Disinfection Cycle) The anti-legionella function is activated by default. It consists of a heating/maintenance cycle of the water at 60°C for 1hr to carry out thermal disinfection against the relevant bacteria. If the water heater always works at a temperature below 55°C, the cycle is repeated after 30 days. When the water heater is turned off, the anti-legionella function is not active. Legionella is a bacteria that is found naturally in fresh water. Legionnaire’s disease is a serious pulmonary infection caused by inhalation of the Legionella pneumophilia bacterium and other species of Legionella. Auto Diagnostic System If a fault occurs, the water heater goes into a fault status and all the LEDs on the control panel will flash simultaneously. This means that the water heater requires our assistance. Anti-Freezing Function The anti-freeze function automatically protects the water heater to avoid damages caused by very low temperatures below 5°C, in the event the product is turned off (if plugged in). Once the function is activated, the water heater will switch off again after the water reaches a safer temperature. Dry-Heating Auto Diagnosis The water heater will automatically disconnect from the electricity network if there is a lack of water in the tank. This prevents the heating cycle from starting and damages the water heater.
