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 RS1/RS2 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. 12;
–
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.
6. To drain water from the internal tank properly, you need to use the drain
hole (only for RS2 line) (it is necessary to unscrew a plug, covering the drain
hole), water can also be drained through a composite relief valve (Fig. 10)
(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!
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.
IMPORTANT!
If water doesn’t flow, then the valve is damaged.
In this case you must not use the heater and it is
recommended to call for a service technician.
