MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Maintenance and repair can only be
carried out by qualified or authorised
personnel using original spare parts.
Before carrying out any repair or
maintenance, the appliance must be
disconnected from the power supply.
5.1 Resetting the
thermostat manually
After resolving the causes that caused
the thermostat's safety to trip, disconnect
the appliance from the mains, remove
the protective cover from the thermostat
and reset it by pressing the button that
has popped out with a round, thin and
pointed object.
5.2 Inspecting the
magnesium anode
The purpose of the magnesium anode
is to protect the tank from corrosion
caused by the electrolysis and hardness
of the water. Its wear is proportional to
the quality and hardness of the water.
Check the condition of the magnesium
anode each year. As long as it remains
intact it will be able to ensure good
protection. There are areas where, due
to the hardness of the water, it must
be changed every year, and this may be
required by the manufacturer for the
warranty to remain valid.

WARNING
Damage caused by excessive
wear
anode is not considered a
manufacturing fault and is not
covered by the warranty.

Cleaning

To ensure that the water heater works
correctly, as well as to ensure low energy
consumption, it is a good idea to remove
any limescale from the appliance's
heating element. How clean the heating
element is will depend on the hardness
of the water.
Therefore, follow the steps necessary to
empty the water heater. Once the tank
is emptied, remove the plate using a
suitable tool and remove the limescale
deposits that have accumulated around
the heating element without damaging
it.

General notes

Use suitable tools for each task.
It is always advisable to change the
sealing rings.
Always use original spare parts.
If replacing the heating element, make
sure that:
– The heating element is housed
properly along with the sealing rings.
– The thermostat is housed in the
sheath of the heating element and
correctly connected to the terminals
of the heating element.
– The pilot terminals are housed in their
correct location.
– The tank is full of water before
connecting it to a power supply.
