7.3 Maintaining the tank

Check the condition of the magnesium anode every two years and replace it if its diameter is less than 10 mm
(in the case of ACI versions, the anode does not require any maintenance). It is strongly recommended to have
maintenance performed on the tank by a professional every 2 - 3 years depending on the quality of the water:
draining and limescale removal. In areas where the water is hard, it is possible to treat the water with a softener.
This should be regulated and the water hardness should remain greater than 15°f.
Using a softener does not invalidate our warranty as long as it is used in accordance with professional standards,
and is checked and maintained regularly.
Do not throw your appliance away in the domestic waste, but take it to a specially designated place
(collection point) where it can be recycled.

8. Scope of the warranty

Failures caused by the following are not covered under this warranty:

8.1 Abnormal environmental conditions

• Damage caused by impacts or falls during handling after leaving the factory.
• Placing the appliance in a place exposed to frost or adverse weather conditions (damp, aggressive
or poorly ventilated environments).
• Using a water with aggressivity criteria such as defined by the Plumbing DTU 60-1 addendum 4,
hot water (chlorine content, sulphates, calcium, resistivity and TAC).
• Water hardness < 15°f.
• Non-compliance with electrical mains standards (NF EN 50160) (power supply does not demonstrate min.
or max. voltage, non-compliant frequencies, for example).
• Damage resulting from problems which cannot be detected due to the choice of position (difficult
to access places) and which could have been avoided by immediate repair of the appliance.
8.2 An installation not compliant with the regulations, standards and good practice
• Missing or incorrect assembly of a safety unit compliant with standard EN 1487, or a change
to its settings, etc.
• Fitting a hydraulic system directly onto the water system preventing operation of the safety unit
(reduction in pressure, stop cock, etc.) (see page 41).
• Abnormal corrosion of pick-ups (hot or cold water) due to an incorrect water correction (incorrect sealing)
or lack of dielectric sleeves (direct iron-copper contact).
• Faulty electrical connection: not compliant with standard NF C 15-100 or standards in force in the
country, incorrect earthing, insufficient cable thickness, flexible cables connected, non-compliance with
the connection diagrams provided by the manufacturer.
• Position of the appliance not compliant with the information in the instructions.
• External corrosion due to poor pipe sealing.
• Protective cover is missing or not correctly fitted.
• Cable sleeve is missing or incorrectly fitted.
• Appliance falls due to the use of mountings not suitable for supporting the installation.

8.3 Faulty maintenance

• Abnormal scaling of heater elements or safety units.
• Non-maintenance of the safety unit resulting in pressure surges.
• Modification of the original product without the manufacturer's advice or using spare parts not recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
• Non-compliance with the magnesium anode maintenance conditions (see «tank maintenance» paragraph).
These devices comply with the directive 2014/30/UE according to electromagnetic compatibility, 2014/35/UE
according to low voltage, 2011/65/UE according to ROHS directive and Commission Delegated Regulation
2013/814/UE supplementing 2009/125/EC regulation for ecodesign.
