11. TROUBLESHOOTING

6. To drain water from the internal tank properly, you need to use the drain 

hole water can also be drained through a composite relief valve (Fig. 15) 

(unscrew the composite relief valve drain knob screw and set the drain 

knob to the upper position, at that hot water tap must be open, and cold 

water supply valve must be closed).

7. Bear in mind to check serviceability of the relief valve every 14 days – 

inspection method:

–

 turn the discharge lever to the left up until you feel the change of thread, 

then water must start flowing from the valve’s hole. After checking the 

water flow, return the lever to its initial position.

8. If necessary, wipe external surfaces of the heater by a damp cloth with 

soap.

IMPORTANT! 

If these actions had no positive result or the thermal 

switch turns off repeatedly during a short period of 

time, then you should de-energize the water heater, 

cut off water supply and contact your local Timberk 

Authorized Service Center for a consult or repair of the 

appliance.

IMPORTANT! 

Never drain water if its temperature is over 50°C since 

it may result in burns.

IMPORTANT! 

If water doesn’t flow, then the valve is damaged. 

In this case you must not use the heater and it is 

recommended to call for a service technician.
