7.1

POWER BOARD FUSE REPLACEMENT

Proceed as indicated below (reserved for qualified technical
personnel only):
• Disconnect the power to the device.
• Remove the bottom cover.
• Remove the fuse cap, then the fuse, using a suitable screw-
driver.
• Install a new IEC 60127-2/II (T5AL250V) certified time-de-
lay 5 A 250V fuse, then refit the protective cap.
• Reassemble all the plastics and make sure the equipment is
correctly installed before powering it.
7.2 REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRIC Heater SAFE-
TY THERMOSTAT
This equipment has a manual-reset safety thermostat connect-
ed in series with the heating element immersed in water, which
interrupts the power supply in case of overtemperature inside
the tank.
If necessary, proceed as follows to reset the thermostat (re-
served for qualified technical personnel):
• Unplug the product.
• Remove the bottom cover by first undoing the locking
screws (fig. 64).
• Manually reset the tripped safety thermostat (fig. 65). In

case of tripping, the central pin of the thermostat comes out
by about 2 mm.
• Refit the previously removed bottom cover.

The intervention of the safety
thermostat may occur due to a
fault in the control board or the
ATTENTION
absence of water in the boiler
tank.
NB!: The intervention of the thermostat ex-
cludes the operation of the electrical heater
but not the heat pump system within the al-
lowed operating limits.
If the operator is unable to elim-
inate the fault, switch off the
equipment and contact the Tech-
ATTENTION
nical Assistance Service, com-
municating the model of the
product purchased.
7.3 CHECK/REPLACEMENT OF THE
SACRIFICIAL ANODE
The integrity of the Mg anodes must be checked at least
once every two years (once a year is recommended). The
check should be carried out by a qualified technician.
The magnesium anode (Mg), also known as an "sacrificial" an-
ode, prevents any eddy currents generated inside the boiler
from triggering surface corrosion.
Magnesium is, in fact, a less noble metal than the material lin-
ing the inside of the boiler, therefore, it attracts the negative
charges first that are formed by heating the water, and is con-
sumed. The anode, therefore, "sacrifices" itself and corrodes
instead of the boiler tank. The integrity of the Mg anode must
be checked at least every two years (preferably once a year).
The operation must be performed by qualified personnel.
