Remove the plastic cover in order to work on the electrical parts (fig. 7a).
To work on the door-sensor rods (Ref. K) it is necessary to disconnect the wires (Ref. F) from the circuit board and
pull them from their seating making sure that you do not bend them excessively.
To work on the power board (Ref. Z) disconnect the wires (Ref. C, Y, F and P) and loosen the screws.
To work on the control panel refer to figure 7b. Remove the plastic cover (ref. A), loosen the 4 front screws (ref. B),
disconnect the wire (Ref. Y), and loosen the 4 rear screws (ref. C).
During reassembly, make sure that all components are put back in their original positions.
To work on the heating elements and the anodes, it is necessary to first empty the appliance.
Unscrew the bolts (C fig. 8) and remove the flanges (F fig. 8). The flanges are coupled with the heating elements and
the anodes. During reassembly make sure the thermostat sensors and the heating elements are put back in their
original positions (fig. 7a and 8). Make sure that the flange plate colour marked H.E.1 or H.E.2, is assembled on the
water heater marked with the same colour code. We recommend the flange gasket (Z fig. 9) is replaced every time it
is removed.
Warning! The inversion of the heating elements will cause the appliance to malfunction. Work on one heating
element at a time and disassemble the second one only after having reassembled the first one.
Only use authentic spare parts

Periodical maintenance

To ensure the best performance from this appliance, descale the heating element (R fig. 9) once every two years.
If you prefer not to use special descaling acids for this operation, simply crumble away the lime deposit without
damaging the heating element.
Replace the magnesium anodes (N fig. 9) every two years (except products with stainless steel water heaters). To
remove them, disassemble the heating elements and unscrew them from the support bracket.
The by-pass tube (X fig. 7a) should only be inspected in the event of a malfunction caused by its obstruction. To
inspect it unscrew the two ring nuts (ref. W fig. 7a).

Safety valve

The pressure safety device must be enabled regularly (once a month) to remove the limescale deposits and to check
that it is not clogged.
