Maintenance Tips            

• Daily flush & wipe-down: Dispense hot water briefly to flush internal lines, then clean exterior stainless steel with a soft cloth to prevent mineral and scale buildup.
• Monitor temperature stability: Ensure the digital display maintains consistent output (up to ~212°F / 100°C). Fluctuations can indicate scale buildup or sensor issues.
• Descale regularly (hard water areas): Perform scheduled deliming to remove calcium deposits from the tank and heating element to maintain heating efficiency and flow rate.
• Inspect water inlet & plumbing: Check 1/4" water connection and pressure range (20–90 PSI) for leaks, clogs, or restricted flow.
• Use Energy Saver Mode correctly: Keep idle energy mode active during low-usage hours to reduce wear on heating components.
• Check faucet performance: Test dispense valve regularly for smooth operation and no dripping or sticking.
• Keep vents and panels clean: Ensure airflow and electronic compartments remain dust-free to prevent overheating of control systems.
• Schedule preventive servicing: Inspect heating element, thermostat, and tank insulation periodically to maintain consistent performance and extend lifespan.
