very hot and may cause burn injuries.
• Do not touch the mixer tap when the tank is being filled. The tap is very
hot and may cause burn injuries.
• Do not touch the pressure relief valve or drain pipes when inspecting
the pressure relief valve. The valve is very hot and may cause burn
injuries.
• Do not use 40°C or hotter water for cleaning as it may result in
deformation of plastic parts.
Water leakage inspection
