5. Arahan Operasi
The Clage M 3/SNM provides hot water instantly upon demand.
5.1. Getting Hot Water
- Turn on the hot water handle of your faucet.
- The unit will automatically detect water flow and begin heating the water.
- Hot water will be dispensed almost immediately. The unit is designed to increase water temperature by approximately 25°C. For example, if the incoming cold water is 13°C (summer), the output will be around 38°C. If incoming water is 8°C (winter), the output will be around 33°C.
- Adjust the water temperature by mixing with cold water using the faucet handles as desired.
Figure 6: This graphic shows the temperature increase provided by the unit: 25°C warmer water, resulting in approximately 38°C in summer (from 13°C) and 33°C in winter (from 8°C).
6. Penyelenggaraan
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your Clage M 3/SNM.
- Pembersihan: Clean the exterior of the unit and faucet with a soft, damp kain. Jangan gunakan pembersih atau pelarut yang melelas.
- Mengurangkan: The IESS galvanized wire heating system is designed to minimize calcification. However, in areas with very hard water, periodic descaling of the faucet aerator may be necessary.
- Kartrij Pemanasan: The heating cartridge is replaceable, contributing to the long service life of the unit. Replacement should be performed by a qualified technician.
- Pemeriksaan Kebocoran: Periodically inspect all water connections for any signs of leaks. Address any leaks immediately.
