10. MAINTENANCE

1. Check the power plug and outlet as often as possible. Secure electrical 

contact and also proper grounding must be provided. The plug and outlet 

must not heat excessively.
2. If the water heater is not used for a long time, especially in regions with low 

air temperature (below 0 °C), it is necessary to drain water from the heater to 

prevent damage of the water heater (due to water freezing in the inner tank).
3. To ensure long reliable water heater operation, it is recommended to 

regularly clean the internal tank and remove deposits on the electric heating 

element of the water heater, as well as check condition (fully decomposed 

or not) of the magnesium anode and, if necessary, replace it with a new one 

in case of full decomposition.
Tank cleaning frequency depends on hardness of water located in this 

territory. Cleaning must be performed by special maintenance services. You 

can ask the seller for address of the nearest service center or find it on the 

website www.timberk.com.

IMPORTANT! 

The manufacturer provides an extended guarantee 

for particular water heater components provided that 

timely and proper routine maintenance is performed 

by specialists of an authorized service center (see the 

guarantee card).

4. Preventive operations must be performed upon strict observance of the 

operation manual and safety precautions.
5. The water heater is equipped with a thermal switch, which cuts off power 

supply of the heating element upon water overheating or its absence in the 

water heater. If the water heater is connected to the mains, but water is 

not heated and the indicator doesn’t light up, then the thermal switch was 

switched off or not switched on. To reset the water heater to the operating 

condition, it is necessary to:

–

 de-energize the water heater, remove the plate of the side/lower cover for 

horizontal-type/vertical-type water heater respectively. 

–

 for RS1series water heaters: unscrew retaining nut of the thermal switch, 

fastened on the flange of the heating element, turn over the thermal switch 

and press the button, located in the center of the thermal switch, until it 

clicks, Fig. 12;

–

 if the button cannot be pressed and there is no clicking, then you should 

wait until the thermal switch cools down to the initial temperature.

6. To drain water from the internal tank properly, water can also be drained 

through a composite relief valve (Fig. 9) (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).

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.
