7. Domestic maintenance advice

Your appliance should be checked by a professional every 2 years, in order to guarantee its long-term
performance.

7.1 The safety unit

Move the safety unit valve regularly (at least once a month). Manœuvrez régulièrement (au moins une fois par mois),
la soupape du groupe de sécurité.
This allows deposits which could block the safety unit to be drai-
ned away. Cette manipulation permet d'évacuer les éventuels
dépôts pouvant obstruer le groupe de sécurité.
Failure to perform maintenance on the safety unit may result in
deterioration of the water heater (not covered by the warranty).
Le non-entretien du groupe de sécurité peut entraîner
une détérioration du chauffe-eau (non couvert par la garantie).

7.2 Draining a water heater

If the water heater needs to remain switched off for more than a week (in a second residence for example),
and it is located in a place exposed to frost, it is essential to drain the water tank in order to protect against
corrosion.
Once the water heater is drained, bleed all the pipes in your house (turn on all your house's cold and hot water
taps so that the pipes are empty).
u
Switch off the power
v
Turn off your general cold water inlet valve.
w
Turn the safety valve wheel (¼ of a turn).
x
Turn on the HOT water valves in order to draw in the air.
y
The water heater is empty when the water stops flowing
to the safety unit.
Draining can take up to one and a half hours or more.
z
Once completed, follow the steps in paragraph 6
"commissioning" (page 42) to return your water heater
to working order.
