7. Troubleshooting
Refer to this section for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No hot water / Unit not heating | No power; Water tank not filled; Low water flow. | Check power connection; Ensure tank is full before powering on; Verify adequate water pressure. |
| LED shows 'LL' | Inlet water temperature is too low (below 3°C / 37°F). | This is a protective measure. The unit may not operate efficiently in extremely cold conditions. Ensure ambient temperature is suitable. |
| LED shows 'HH' | Inlet water temperature is too high (above 75°C / 167°F). | This is a protective measure. Check the incoming water temperature. |
| Water leakage | Loose connections; Damaged pressure relief valve. | Tighten all plumbing connections; Inspect and replace pressure relief valve if damaged. |
