Plate Exchanger After removing the manifold connections of the plate exchanger with a size 4 hex key, you can push the exchanger back and remove it from the lower service cover.
3.23. Resistor Replacement If one of the resistors is short- or open-circuited, the cables are deformed or another physical deformation occurs, the resistor may be replaced without removing the exchanger tank. For tank replacement, drain the water inside the tank with the drain valve, and loosen the resistor flange. Afterwards, disassembly the resistor to be replaced by removing the lower or upper service panel depending on whether the resistor is at the bottom or the top of the tank, install the new one into the same place of the device, and tighten the flange.
