7- MAINTENANCE
To ensure maximum performance of your water heater and to reduce the risk of a water leak, we recommend
the following maintenance:
Remove the Eemax Steam Shield
TM
steam separating aerator (Patent Pending) once a month and soak in white
vinegar to descale any buildup. Perform this maintenance more often in heavy use or if the supply water is very
hard (hardness > 11 GPM).
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE HAZARDOUS OPERATION – SERIOUS BODILY INJURY
OR DEATH COULD OCCUR IF YOU IGNORE THIS WARNING.
Inspect the connections on the inlet and outlet of the water heater as well as the dispenser at least on an annual
basis for any signs of damage or failure. Any signs of damage, cracks, leakage or weakness should be addressed.
Take care not to over tighten the connections. Serious internal damage to your water heater can occur if you
over tighten the water heater connections at the unit. Check to make sure there are no signs of corrosions or
leaks around the dispenser mount or connections.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
DANGER
As with all electrical appliances, under no circumstances should you attempt to install, repair or
disassemble this water heater without first shutting off all power to the unit directly at the fuse or circuit
breaker.
SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR IF YOU IGNORE THIS WARNING.
When any maintenance is performed on the water heater or the plumbing system that may introduce air into
the plumbing pipes, it is important to turn the power off to the water heater and purge the air out of the lines
before allowing the unit to power up.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE
HEATING ELEMENT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
If you have a water supply with a high level of mineralization (hard water), you should increase the frequency of
your maintenance.
“CAUTION”
Before servicing the unit make sure
to disconnect the power supply
connection directly at the breaker.
