inactivity only by specially trained qualified specialists, because improperly

Possible malfunctions and troubleshooting methods
IMPORTANT!
If these actions have no positive result or the
temperature limiter turns off repeatedly during a short
period of time then you should unplug the water
heater from the electrical main, cut off water supply
and contact your local Timberk Authorized Service
Centre for a consultation or repair of the appliance.
IMPORTANT!
If water does not flow then the valve is damaged.
In this case you must not use the heater; it is
recommended to call for a service technician.

days. The inspection method is as follows:
- turn the handle for draining to the upper position until you feel the change

checking the water outflow return the handle to its initial position.
