1.
Checking the anodes .

12.3.2 Checking the anodes
Timely replacement of the anodes extends the service life of the water heater.
The water heater’s anodes must be replaced as soon as they are 60% or more
used up (take this into consideration when determining the maintenance
frequency).
1. Loosen the anodes using suitable tools.
2. Check the anodes, and if necessary, replace them.
12.3.3 Descaling and cleaning the heater
Scale and lime buildup prevent effective conduction of the heat to the water.
Periodic descaling prevents buildup of these deposits. This increases the
service life of the water heater, and also improves the heating process. Take the
rate of scale formation into account when deciding on maintenance frequency.
