1. Check the power plug and outlet as often as possible. Secure electrical
contact and also proper grounding must be provided. The plug and outlet
must not heat excessively.
2. If the water heater is not used for a long time, especially in regions with
low air temperature (below 0°C), it is necessary to drain water from the
heater .
3. To ensure long reliable water heater operation, it is recommended to
regularly clean the internal tank and remove deposits on the electric heating
element of the water heater, as well as check condition of the magnesium
anode and, if necessary, replace it with a new one.
4. Preventive operations must be performed upon strict observance of the
operation manual and safety precautions.
5. The water heater is equipped with a thermal switch, which cuts off power
supply of the heating element upon water overheating or its absence in the
water heater. If the water heater is connected to the mains, but water is
not heated and the indicator doesn’t light up, then the thermal switch was
switched off or not switched on. To reset the water heater to the operating
condition, it is necessary to:
- de-energize the water heater, remove the plate of the side / lower cover
for horizontal-type/vertical-type water heater respectively.
- for FSL2/FSP2 series horizontal-type water heaters: press the button,
located in the center of the thermal switch, placed near the heating element
(with a round shape), until it clicks, Fig.12;
- for FSL1/FSP1 series vertical-type water heaters: unscrew retaining nut of
the thermal switch, fastened on the flange of the heating element, turn the
thermal switch and press the button, located in the center of the thermal
switch, until it clicks; Fig. 13;
- if the button is not pressed and there is no clicking, then you should wait
until the thermal switch cools down to the initial temperature.
6. To drain water from the internal tank properly, you need to use the drain
hole (only for FSL2/FSP2 line) (it is necessary to unscrew a plug, covering
the drain hole), water can also be drained through a composite relief valve
(Fig. 11) (unscrew the composite relief valve drain knob screw and set the
drain knob to the upper position, at that hot water tap must be open, and
cold water supply valve must be closed).
7. Bear in mind to check serviceability of the relief valve every 14 days –
inspection method:
- turn the discharge lever to the left up until you feel the change of thread,
then water must start flowing from the valve’s hole. After checking the
water flow, return the lever to its initial position.
8. If necessary, wipe external surfaces of the heater by a damp cloth with
soap.
IMPORTANT!
The manufacturer provides an extended guarantee
for particular water heater components provided that
timely and proper routine maintenance is performed
by specialists of an authorized service center (see the
guarantee card).
IMPORTANT!
If these actions had no positive result or the thermal
switch turns off repeatedly during a short period of
time, then you should de-energize the water heater,
cut off water supply and contact your local Timberk
Authorized Service Center for a consult or repair of the
appliance.

3. Temperature limiter is broken. Contact a repairer, TIMBERK service
center.
Water doesn’t flow from the hot water
discharge cock 1. Water feed is cut off. 1. Wait until water supply is restored.
2. Water pressure is too low. 2. Switch on the water heater again,
when normal water pressure restores.
3. Water supply exhaust valve is
closed.
Water temperature is too high Water temperature control system
is damaged. Contact a repairer, TIMBERK service
center.
Water leakage Seal at the point of pipe connection
is broken. Replace the joint seal.
Water flows from the appliance’s case Breaking of the internal tank
(corrosion)Seal at the point of the

We are exploring new technologies and we constantly improving the quality
of our products. That’s why specifications, design and accessories are
subject to change without any specific notice.
3. Temperature display (only for FSP series)
All FSP series models are equipped with temperature display shows
current water temperature in whater haeter tants.
IMPORTANT!
Water may start dripping from the relief valve hole
during heating. It is impossible to avoid water leakage
and you must not prevent it since valve blocking
may cause rupture of the internal tank (in case of
equipment failure).
