10. MAINTENANCE

Fig. 11

Fig. 10 Fig. 12

1. Check the power plug and outlet as often as possible. Secure electrical contact and also proper grounding must be provided. The plug and outlet must not heat excessively.

2. If the water heater is not used for a long time, especially in regions with low air temperature (below 0 °C), it is necessary to drain water from the heater to prevent damage of the water heater (due to water freezing in the inner tank).

3. To ensure long reliable water heater operation, it is recommended to regularly clean the internal tank and remove deposits on the electric heating element of the water heater, as well as check condition (fully decomposed or not) of the magnesium anode and, if necessary, replace it with a new one in case of full decomposition.

Tank cleaning frequency depends on hardness of water located in this territory. Cleaning must be performed by special maintenance services. You can ask the seller for address of the nearest service center or find it on the website www.timberk.com.

IMPORTANT!

The manufacturer provides an extended guarantee for particular water heater components provided that timely and proper routine maintenance is performed by specialists of an authorized service center (see the guarantee card).

www.timberk.com • electrical storage water heater

4. Preventive operations must be performed upon strict observance of the

operation manual and safety precautions.

5. The water heater is equipped with a thermal switch, which cuts off power

supply of the heating element upon water overheating or its absence in the water heater. If the water heater is connected to the mains, but water is not heated and the indicator doesn’t light up, then the thermal switch was switched off or not switched on. To reset the water heater to the operating condition, it is necessary to:

– de-energize the water heater, remove the plate of the side/lower cover for horizontal-type/vertical-type water heater respectively.

– for RS1/RS2 series water heaters: unscrew retaining nut of the thermal switch, fastened on the flange of the heating element, turn over the thermal switch and press the button, located in the center of the thermal switch, until it clicks, Fig. 12;

– if the button cannot be pressed and there is no clicking, then you should wait until the thermal switch cools down to the initial temperature.

IMPORTANT!

If these actions had no positive result or the thermal switch turns off repeatedly during a short period of time, then you should de-energize the water heater, cut off water supply and contact your local Timberk Authorized Service Center for a consult or repair of the appliance.

6. To drain water from the internal tank properly, you need to use the drain

hole (only for RS2 line) (it is necessary to unscrew a plug, covering the drain hole), water can also be drained through a composite relief valve (Fig. 10) (unscrew the composite relief valve drain knob screw and set the drain knob to the upper position, at that hot water tap must be open, and cold water supply valve must be closed).

7. Bear in mind to check serviceability of the relief valve every 14 days – inspection method:

– turn the discharge lever to the left up until you feel the change of thread, then water must start flowing from the valve’s hole. After checking the water flow, return the lever to its initial position.

IMPORTANT!

If water doesn’t flow, then the valve is damaged. In this case you must not use the heater and it is recommended to call for a service technician.

8. If necessary, wipe external surfaces of the heater by a damp cloth with soap.

IMPORTANT!

Never drain water if its temperature is over 50 °C since it may result in burns.
