In people's daily lives, electric water heaters can be used during showers. Most people feel the convenience they bring, but at the same time, there are issues related to electricity safety and how to properly clean them. Many consumers fail to understand the importance of using electric water heaters until they suffer consequences after spending money on learning. Therefore, this article aims to provide all the necessary information for users who are currently using electric water heaters, including installation and usage precautions, as well as how to perform daily maintenance and cleaning of electric water heaters!
The indoor wiring of the home should be reliably grounded, and the grounding resistance value should not exceed 4Ω. For household sockets, whether single-phase or three-phase power supply, the grounding must be linked to the power supply's ground wire, and the grounding terminal of the socket must not be left unconnected.
2. The plug provided for the electric water heater should be a leakage protection plug with a grounding wire. Do not use portable power adapters. The structure, capacity and socket size of the socket should match the leakage protection plug of the electric water heater. The socket should be placed above the water outlet of the electric water heater at a level position, and it should be avoided from being splashed by water to prevent the risk of short circuit.
3. When using an electric water heater, do not turn off the power through the switch on the socket. Because if the socket power is turned off, the leakage protection plug will not function. In case of faults such as live ground wire, it will be unable to provide protection.
4. It is necessary to check every week whether the "test" button on the leakage protection plug is functioning properly, to ensure that the leakage protection plug is working correctly.
5. To maintain and clean the exterior of the electric water heater, you should first cut off the power supply. Do not spray water on it. Use a soft cloth for cleaning instead.
6. If the power cord is damaged, to avoid danger, it is necessary to use the dedicated power cord provided by the manufacturer and have it replaced by professionals from the maintenance department or a similar unit.
7. The service life of an electric water heater should not exceed 6 years. If it is still in use beyond this period, it will pose safety risks and needs to be replaced promptly.
