5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your tankless water heater.
Descaling
Depending on your water hardness, periodic descaling (flushing with a descaling solution) may be necessary to prevent mineral buildup in the heating elements. Consult a qualified plumber for this procedure, typically recommended annually in hard water areas.
Cleaning
Keep the exterior of the unit clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure air vents are clear of obstructions.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your water heater, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps. For complex problems, contact customer support.
Safety Thermal Cut-off Reset Instructions
If the product stops working due to the safety thermal cut-off protection function, you can reset it to restore normal operation. Warning: Ensure the unit is powered off before proceeding.
- Remove the outer shell: Carefully detach the unit's outer casing.
- Locate the safety thermal cut-off: Identify the thermal cut-off switch inside the unit.
- Press the reset button with a screwdriver: Use a screwdriver to press the reset button on the thermal cut-off.
- Install the outer shell: Reattach the outer casing securely.
To determine if the safety thermal cut-off has tripped: (1) The machine is not working (the display screen shows nothing); (2) The municipal power supply is normal (test whether other appliances at home are functioning properly); (3) The circuit breaker connected to the electric water heater has not tripped. If these three conditions are met simultaneously, the product's limiter may have tripped, requiring a reset.
Step 1: Remove outer shell
Step 2: Locate thermal cut-off
Step 3: Press reset button
Step 4: Install outer shell
