against dirt and moisture.
> Clean the casing of the electric domestic hot water
cylinder using a damp cloth and some soap. Do not
use any scouring or cleaning agents that could dam-
age the casing or temperature selector.

Safety instructions for the operator:

improper maintenance and repair.
If maintenance is not carried out, or carried
out incorrectly, this may adversely affect the
operating reliability of your domestic hot
water cylinder.

work or repairs on the electric domestic
hot water cylinder yourself .
> Always employ an approved heating engi-
neer to carry out inspections and mainte-
nance work.

limescale formation. In areas of hard
water (more than 14 °dH = 2.5 CaCO

der inspected at least every 3 years by an

Vaillant recommends that you have the
maintenance service carried out once a
year.
> Ensure that only an approved heating engi-
neer carries out maintenance and repair
work.
