Other problems, or if none
of the above solves the
problem.
Incorrect handling of thermostat, safety valve or other valves may lead to tank rupture. When servicing the unit
follow instructions carefully:
WARNING
• Always turn off main power supply when water supply is being shut off.
• Test the free operation of the safety valve regularly by opening the valve ensuring the water flows freely.
• Electrical connection and all servicing of the electrical components should only be carried out by an authorized
electrician.
• Fitting and all servicing of plumbing fixtures should only be carried out by an authorized installer.
• When replacing the thermostat, safety valve or any other valve or part supplied with this unit, use only approved
parts of the same specification.
• Before resetting the safety cut-off or altering the thermostat setting, always remember to isolate the electrical
supply to the unit. This must be done prior to removing the electrical box lid.
CAUTION
• If the electric element or thermostat is defective, contact authorized electrician.
• After adjustments are completed, ensure the lid to the electrical box is refitted correctly and that the retaining
screw is properly fitted.
Possible cause
No power supply to the water heater
The thermostat may be set too high and
cause the fuse or safety cut-off to operate.
Heating element or internal electrical wiring
is out of order.
Thermostat is set too low.
Heating element or the internal electrical
wiring is partially out of order.
UX mixing valve(fitted on top) is incorrectly
adjusted.
Water expands when heated. If there is no
consumption of hot water over a period of
time pressure builds up, causing the safety
valve to open.
The heating element may not be properly
tightened.
There may be a leak.

Solution
Check if there is any power on the power supply terminal
on the thermostat.
Reduce thermostat setting by 5 °C and press the reset
button.
Check if there is any power on the power supply on the
connector of the heating element between black and
yellow/green wires. If this is OK, press the reset button
on the fuse/safety cut-off.
Adjust the thermostat up using a standard screwdriver.
Check the resistance of the heating element on the
connector of the heater bundle, and the condition of the
internal wiring.
Adjust the UX mixing valve correctly to the preferred
temperature.
If drip from the SV is severe, it might need to be replaced.
Some dripping is normal. Alternatively an expansion
vessel can be fitted.
Check the heating element o-ring seal and all
connections.
Contact the installer/supplier regarding any other failure.
