CLEANING THE WATER HEATER
In order to clean the outside surfaces of the water heater, use a damp soft/microfiber cloth. Do not use any
aggressive chemicals/cleaning products/tool. Avoid any direct water spray to the water heater (garden hose).
Do not spray water on the active parts of the water heater.
ROUTINE INSPECTION
When installed properly and operated in normal
standard conditions, your water heater does not
require any periodic maintenance.
However, like any electric appliance, we recommend
that you inspect your unit periodically for
malfunctions or defects.
WE RECOMMEND:
• Open the drain valve once a year to make sure it is
moving freely (be careful with the hot water going
out).
• Check the cold water inlet filter. If clogged, remove
and clean it then put it back in place.
Excessive sediment may indicate a need for an
external Y strainer.
• Check the absence of water drops or discoloration
on the plate heat exchanger.
• Check that the overflow line is not clogged.
Please contact your installing contractor if you
detect any abnormal condition.
CONDENSATION
Condensation can form on the tank when it is first
filled with water. Condensation might also occur
with a heavy water draw and very cold inlet water
temperature.
Due to the construction of the water heater
condensation can form during its life. If, however, the
condensation is too excessive, examine the piping
and fittings for possible leaks.
WATER HAMMER
Rapid closing of faucets or solenoid valves in
automatic water using appliances can cause a
banging noise heard in a water pipe. Strategically
located risers in the water pipe system or water
hammer arresting devices can be used to minimize
the problem.
CAUTION! For your
safety, do not attempt to
repair thermostat(s), heating
elements, or electrical wiring.
Refer such repairs to a
qualified service technician.
