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 ME1 series water heaters: unscrew retaining nut of the thermal switch,
fastened on the flange of the heating element, turn over the thermal switch
and press the button, located in the center of the thermal switch, until it
clicks, Fig. 9;
–
if the button cannot be pressed and there is no clicking, then you should
wait until the thermal switch cools down to the initial temperature.
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).
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 to
prevent damage of the water heater (due to water freezing in the inner tank).
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 (fully decomposed
or not) of the magnesium anode and, if necessary, replace it with a new one
in case of full decomposition.
Tank cleaning frequency depends on hardness of water located in this
territory. Cleaning must be performed by special maintenance services. You
can ask the seller for address of the nearest service center or find it on the
website www.timberk.com.
