4.3 Routine maintenance
All maintenance operations and service visits should be performed by a competent person (who have the
skills required by the applicable norms in force).
The pressure safety device must be enabled regularly (once a month) to remove the limestone deposits
and to check that it is not clogged.
Replace the Mg anodes every two years. To remove them, disassemble the heating elements and unscrew
them from the support bracket.
To ensure the best performance from this appliance, descale the heating element once every two years. If
you prefer not to use special descaling acids for this operation, simply crumble away the lime deposit
without damaging the heating element.
