• If any parts are cracked or broken, replace them. If the washer has hardened, it should be
replaced.
• With the debris cleaned out, screw the regulator back into the tap.
Hand tightening should be adequate.
The electrical and plumbing components should be inspected regularly by a competent
person to ensure proper functioning and operational safety.
Water quality should be considered when determining the frequency of inspection.
Each time the appliance is emptied (e.g. due to work on the plumbing system, if there is a risk of
freezing or in case of maintenance), the appliance must be purged by opening and closing the hot
water tap until all air has been eliminated from the water heater and no more air emerges before
re-connecting to the electrical supply.
