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 odor 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 turned on cold water resistance to the hot one 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
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 urgently put out the fire, turn off the power to the heater, turn off all electrical appliances and call emergency service. 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 drain the water from it.
Advantages
Gas Electrolux speakers 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 high pressure water, 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.

Electrolux has been present on the Russian market for several decades. But previously it was known to our consumers, mainly due to its high-quality household appliances. Refrigerators, washing machines, electric water heaters And microwaves from this famous Swedish manufacturer have long won respect not only from Russian consumers, but throughout the world.
And so, relatively recently, the company began supplying to the market, in particular, geysers Electrolux, reviews of which are both positive and negative. Let's try to disassemble this gas water heater, using the Electrolux GWH 265 ERN Nano Plus model as an example.
We will try to find the advantages and disadvantages of this model, understand the principle of operation by considering its technical characteristics and design. Based on these operating instructions, everyone will be able to draw conclusions and formulate their own reviews about the Electrolux gas water heater, which can now be purchased inexpensively at a low price.
Features of Electrolux geysers
One of the first models to appear on the market was the Electrolux GWH 275 SRN, the reviews of which were very good from owners and specialists, mainly due to its high-quality European assembly (Spain). IN last years the company supplies two models to the Russian market: Electrolux GWH 285 ERN Nano Pro and Electrolux GWH 265 ERN Nano Plus automatic.
Geyser Electrolux Nano Plus
Both models are equipped with automatic ignition from batteries installed in a special compartment and a gas control system. These geysers are assembled in China, and components are supplied from Europe. Visually, the Nano Pro model has an on/off button for the device and two knobs for adjusting the temperature and water flow.
The Nano Plus model differs in appearance from the Nano Pro in the presence of an informative digital LCD display on the control panel. It displays the water temperature at the outlet of the water heater, there are indicators of flow and battery charge level, which flashes when the geyser does not turn on when the water is turned on.
The display shows errors in the operation of the Electrolux gas water heater of the Nano Plus model, for example:
E0 - emergency hot water temperature sensor triggered;
E1 - low battery charge level;
E2 - the emergency flame sensor has tripped.
Operating principle of a gas automatic water heater
When we open the hot water tap on the mixer, the water flow sensor is automatically activated. After half a second, the information display will turn on, showing 2 indicators of blue color: “battery” and “shower”.
After a few seconds the flame indicator will light up. After switching on gas burner All indicators are lit, except for the battery indicator, which now simply shows their charge level.
When we stop using hot water, turn off the tap. The flow sensor cuts off the gas supply to the gas burner of the column, all indicators turn off. Only error codes can be displayed if the device malfunctions.
