To protect against corrosion and ensure compliance with the rules for
electrical safety, observe the following points:
▶ Use metal fittings for drinking water heating systems with plastic
piping.
▶ Use only original accessories from the manufacturer.
▶ When installation of the tank is complete, inspect the ground
conductor (including metal fittings).
Maintenance
Customers are advised to:
▶ Sign a maintenance and inspection contract with an authorized
contractor. Inspect and maintain the DHW tank as necessary on a
yearly basis. Service as needed.
▶ Use only original spare parts.
Flooding
▶ After a flood, do not use the appliance if any part has been
submerged. Damage to appliances that have been submerged can be
quite severe and pose numerous safety risks.
▶ An appliance that was subject to flooding must be replaced.
