Descaling
Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) can accumulate on the heating elements and inside the tanks, reducing efficiency. Periodic descaling by a professional is advised, especially in areas with hard water.
General Cleaning
Clean the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Troubleshooting
This section provides general guidance for common issues. For complex problems, always contact a qualified technician.
- No Hot Water: Check the power supply to the unit. Ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify that the temperature setting is appropriate.
- Insufficient Hot Water: The ECO EVO function might be optimizing for lower consumption; try increasing the temperature setting or disabling ECO mode temporarily. Allow sufficient time for reheating after heavy use.
- Unusual Noises: Minor noises during heating are normal due to water expansion. Persistent or loud noises may indicate limescale buildup or other internal issues, requiring professional inspection.
- Leaking: Immediately turn off the water supply and power to the unit. Leaks require immediate professional attention.
If the issue persists after checking these points, please contact Ariston customer support or a certified service technician.
