Most Frequent Function Failures And Their Causes; Installation Regulations - Drazice OKHE 100 Operation And Installation Manual

Warning! In doing so, the cold water supply pipe and the connection fitting of the tank may get heated!
If the hot water heater does not work, or if hot water is not withdrawn, no water shall drip off the safety
valve. If water drips, then the water pressure in the supply piping is either too high (if higher than 5.5 bars, a
pressure control valve has to be fitted), or the safety valve is defective. Please call a specialised plumber
immediately! If water contains too many minerals, an expert has to come to remove the scale that forms
inside the tank, as well as free sediments. This has to be performed after one or two years of operation.
The cleaning is carried out through the hole in the flange – dismantle the flange lid and clean the tank. A new
sealing has to be used for re-fitting. Since the inside of the heater has special enamel, which must not get in
contact with the scale removing agent – do not work with a lime pump. Remove the lime layer with a timber
and suck it off, or wipe it off with a clout. After that, the appliance must be rinsed thoroughly and the heating
process is checked the same as during the initial putting in operation. Do not use any abrasive cleaning
agents or dye thinners to clean the outer shell of the heater (such as cellulose thinner, trichlor, and the like).
For cleaning use a wet clout and add a few drops of liquid cleaning agent for households applications.

Most frequent function failures and their causes

Water is cold
Water is not warm enough
Temperature of water is not
corresponding
with the temperature on the
control
Water is constantly dripping off
the safety valve
Do not try to repair the failure yourselves. Seek either expert or service help. It does not take much for an
expert to remove the defect. When making a repair appointment, report the type and serial number you find
on the performance plate of your water heater.
