4. Ukusetha nokufakwa
The Ranein WarmCube 8 offers versatile installation options, including under-sink, wall-mounted, or floor-mounted setups. Ensure adequate clearance and proper plumbing and electrical connections.
4.1 Ukukhethwa Kwesizinda
- Choose a location that is easily accessible for maintenance and protected from freezing temperatures.
- Ensure the mounting surface (if wall-mounted) can support the weight of the unit when full (approximately 8 gallons of water + unit weight).
- Verify sufficient space for installation and future servicing.

Figure 5: Under-Sink Space Confirmation. This image illustrates the minimum clearance required for under-sink installation: minimum 5 inches above the unit, and minimum 2 inches on the sides.
4.2 Ukuxhunywa kwamapayipi
- Connect the cold water inlet to the designated port on the water heater.
- Connect the hot water outlet to your fixture's hot water line.
- Install a temperature and pressure relief (T&P) valve as required by local codes.
- Flush the tank with water before connecting to power to remove any air and ensure no leaks.
4.3 Ukuxhunywa kukagesi
- The unit operates on a standard 120V outlet. Ensure the circuit can handle the 1440W load.
- Plug the water heater into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
