2. Drain the water heater.
3. Open a hot water tap.
4. Open the valve on the safety unit.
5. Move the appliance to the repair position (1).
6. Check the extent of scaling in the tank and on the exchanger.

Remove limescale deposits from the exchanger to guarantee its per
formance.

Each time it is opened, the lip retainer ring unit must be

Note
The screws for the inspection hatch must be tightened to 6 N·m
+1/-0. Use a torque wrench.
