After the water heater is powered on, the controller does not respond.There is no power input, please check the circuit.

6 Maintenance

The water heater should be checked at least once a year or as necessary by a licensed technician. If repairs are needed, any repairs should be done by a licensed technician. The water heater's lifetime may be extended by regular maintenance.

WARNING:

6.1 Vent System

6.2 Unit Draining and Filter Cleaning

Clean the filter:

Diagram showing filter cleaning procedure.

  1. Remove by turning counter clockwise and then clean and replace.
  2. 1. Turn off the water inlet supply valve. 2. Open a hot water tap to release the line pressure.

6.3 Clean Burners

It is imperative that control compartments, burners, and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.

Clean as follows:

  1. Turn off and disconnect electrical power. Allow to cool.
  2. Close the water shut off valves. Remove and clean the water inlet filter.
  3. Remove the front panel by removing 4 screws.
  4. Use pressurized air to remove dust from the main burner, heat exchanger, and fan blades. Do not use a wet cloth or spray cleaners on the burner. Do not use volatile substances such as benzene and thinners. They may ignite or fade the paint.
  5. Use soft dry cloth to wipe cabinet.

6.4 Visual Inspection of Flame

Verify proper operation after servicing. The burner must flame evenly over the entire surface when operating correctly. The flame must burn with a clear, blue, stable flame. See the parts breakdown of the burner for the location of the view ports. The flame pattern should be as shown in the figures below.

Diagram showing satisfactory and unsatisfactory flame patterns.

WARNING: Do not check the safety valve when the water heater is in normal operation to avoid hot water burns.

6.5 Pressure Relief Valve Maintenance

WARNING: Testing the pressure relief valve should only be performed by a licensed professional. Water discharged from the pressure relief valve could cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds.

WARNING: Before manually operating the pressure reducing valve, check that the hot water is discharged in a safe place. If water cannot escape from the end of the drain, turn off the air supply and turn off the power and call a qualified person to determine the cause. See the manufacturer of the pressure relief valve for inspection and maintenance requirements.

Diagram illustrating the pressure relief valve setup.

6.6 Freeze Prevention

WARNING: If freezing conditions are expected, turn off water and gas and drain all water from the appliance. If power and the automatic frost protection are connected freezing will be prevented.

1. Turn Water Off

2. Turn Gas Off

3. Turn Off The Power Supply

4. Drain Water

Diagram showing water, drain, gas, and cold connections.

Antifreeze Tips

CAUTION: Please note damages caused by freezing are NOT covered under the tankless water heater warranty as an industry standard. Please make sure to take all the measures to protect your water heater.

6.7 Minimum Load Adjustment Method

Set the temperature on the controller to 35 °C and increase the inlet water temperature so that the outlet temperature is above 35 °C. It then proves that the water heater is operating at its minimum heat load.

6.8 Gas Pressure Test Position

Diagram showing the gas pressure test position.

The gas inlet has a pressure measuring nozzle. The inlet gas pressure can be measured by unscrewing the screw.

CAUTION: Please close the gas valve before connecting the measuring instrument. Avoid accidents such as fires.
