▪ User maintenance: Operates once a month the discharge of the water safety device to prevent scaling and
verify that it is not blocked. If this is not done, damage may be caused and the guarantee invalidated.
▪ Maintenance by a qualified person:
1/ Remove the scale sludge. Do not scrape or hammer the lime scale deposited on the casing, as this may damage
the lining.
2/ Change the magnesium anode every 2 years or when its diameter is lower than 10 mm.
3/ Changing the shielded heating element or the anode requires the water heater to be drained and the joint changed.
4/ Draining (depending on models): Switch off the power and water supply and open the hot water tap before carrying
out the draining operation.
5/ Refit the heating element and tighten the screws smoothly (opposite screws in sequence), check for leaks the next
day and tighten if required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or
its service agent
