Fig . 10
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
internal 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.
4. 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.
Preventive operations must be performed upon strict observance of the
operation manual and safety precautions.
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 slip).
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.
- press the button, located at the center of the thermal switch, Fig.
10 ;
- 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. Water can be drained through a composite relief valve (Fig. 9 ) (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).
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.
IMPORTANT!
Never drain water if its temperature is over 50°C since it may result in
burns.
