19 MAINTENANCE

Scheduled maintenance is essential for the safety, efficien-
cy and long working life of your storage cylinder. Proper
maintenance also reduces energy consumption and ensu-
res reliability over time. Have your storage cylinder serviced
either by the manufacturer's Technical Assistance Centre or
by a qualified heating engineer at least once a year.
Perform the following operations before beginning any
maintenance:
- Switch the electricity supply to the storage cylinder's
valve group and to any associated boiler OFF at the
main switch and at the control panel
- Close the shut-off cocks for the domestic hot water
circuit
- Drain the storage cylinder's DHW (secondary) water
circuit.
