8. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

WARNING
Always empty the appliance before carrying out any maintenance work.
General points to remember
The outside of the tank can be cleaned with a soft cloth and a suitable cleaning product.
Do not use abrasive products, solvents, petrol, alcohol or the like.
Do not use water.
The safety anode mounted on the flange must be checked at least once a year. This can be done directly through the flange opening,
or from outside using a tester.
If the anode is exhausted, replace it with a new one.
If the appliance is used in a room where the temperature may go below zero, it must be left running or emptied completely.
Inspecting and cleaning the inside of the tank
To clean inside the tank, drain the appliance, unscrew the screws in the plastic cap and remove the cover.
Remove the counter-flange from the inspection openings.
Take care during cleaning not to damage the enamel coating of the tank and heat exchanger (heating coil).
Clean with a jet of water. If necessary use a suitable tool made of wood or plastic to remove any build-up of scale.
Lastly, remount the flange and gasket (replace the latter if damaged), fill the tank and check for leaks from the flange and tap.
Fill the appliance, referring to the start-up instructions, and check for leaks.
If the local water is particularly hard, it is advisable to de-scale the tank at least once a year..
Verify periodically the functionality of the safety valve and of the temperature control thermostat and all the accessories that concur
to the functioning of the appliance.
Checking the anodes
The tank is protected from corrosion with a coating of porcelain glass on the inner surface and the heat exchangers.
The tank is also fitted with a magnesium anticorrosion anode. Its duration depends on the length of operation and the water hardness.
The anode should be inspected at least once a year and replaced if necessary..
After inspection/replacement, check carefully for leaks.
Only original spares must be used.
