Atlantic CHAUFFEO - Maintaining the Tank; Scope of the Warranty

7.3 Maintaining the tank
Check the condition of the magnesium anode every two years and replace it if its diameter is less than 10 mm
(in the case of ACI versions, the anode does not require any maintenance). It is strongly recommended to have
maintenance performed on the tank by a professional every 2 - 3 years depending on the quality of the water:
draining and limescale removal. In areas where the water is hard, it is possible to treat the water with a softener.
This should be regulated and the water hardness should remain greater than 15°f.
Using a softener does not invalidate our warranty as long as it is used in accordance with professional standards,
and is checked and maintained regularly.
Do not throw your appliance away in the domestic waste, but take it to a specially designated place
(collection point) where it can be recycled.
