WARNING

Failure to comply with this maintenance rule may cause

deterioration of the DHW tank and the cancellation of the

guarantee.

7.2.6.

Descaling

Use a new leak tight seal on the inspection trap.

In hard water regions, it is advisable to ask the fitter to descale the

DHW tank exchanger once a year in order to maintain its level of

performance.
1. Turn off the domestic cold water inlet.
2. Drain the calorifier.
3. Open a hot water tap.
4. Open the valve on the safety unit.
5. Remove the insulation from the inspection hatch.
6. Pull out the DHW sensor.
7. Remove the inspection trap (13 mm spanner).
8. Remove the 2 bulbs from the safety thermostat.
9. Remove the limescale deposited in the tank in the form of sludge

or strips. Keep the limescale on the wall of the tank: it provides

effective protection against corrosion and enhances the insulation

of the DHW tank.

10.Then replace all the parts in reverse order.

Each time it is opened, the lip gasket must be replaced to

guarantee tightness. Place the positioning lug on the

gasket toward the outside of the tank.

11.After each intervention, ensure that the installation is watertight.

The screws retaining the visit trap must be tightened to

6 N·m +1/-0. Use a torque wrench.

Cleaning the condensates discharge duct

of excessive accumulation of water.
