6. MAINTENANCE
Before removing the plastic cover, make sure the power is turned off to avoid any risk of injury or electric shock.
The domestic maintenance must be done by the user. Operate the safety device every month to prevent scaling and check
that it's not blocked. Not executing this maintenance may cause damage and the loss of the warranty.
Maintenance by qualified persons
a. Scaling: Remove the scale deposited as mud. Do not scratch or hit the scale sticking to the walls to avoid damage
to the coating. Do not forget to change the seal and reassemble the appliance, check that there is no leakage of
water after the first heating.
b. For devices with magnesium anode, change the magnesium anode every two years or as soon as its diameter is
less than 10mm.
c. The change of a sheathed heating element involves draining of the water heater and to change the seal.
Reassemble the heating element, reasonably tight flange nuts (cross tightening), check that there is no leakage after
the first heating-up, and tighten again if necessary.
d. Drain: Turn off power and cold-water supply, open the hot water tap and the drain valve of the safety device.
For under sink water heater, disconnect the hydraulic tubes and turn updside down to empty.
The replaceable parts are thermostats, gasket, heater, magnesium anode, cable, cover, light and switch. Warranty is subject
to the use of original spare parts from manufacturer. Intervention of replacement must be done by an installator or after-sales
of manufacturer.
Advice to the user: In case of hard water with TH > 20°f (>200 ppm), we recommended to soften the water. If a water
softener is used, the remaining water hardness should be more than 15°f. In the case of a long absence particularly in cold
season, drain your device and then follow the procedures for starting up.
