The meter trips as soon as the water element
circuit breaker
is set to ON.
On a shielded product: Replace
the heater element.
On a steatite product: Clean
the area where the heater element is located
(hollow interior) with
a cloth or a bottle brush.
If the problem persists: Replace
the heater element.
Solution
Leave the thermostat setting at maximum in
order to enjoy very warm water in suffi cient
quantity.
If water fl ows from the hot water tap, then
one of the house's taps is faulty.
Replace the faulty tap or consult
a plumber to fi nd the cause
of the problem.
Cause
Replace the faulty resistor.
Replace the thermostat.
Cause
Faulty resistor.
