Here are the correct ways to use a water heater:
1. Check after installation
Before using the water heater for the first time, be sure to do the following checks:
Check whether the installation is firm and make sure that the water heater is firmly installed in the right place without shaking or tilting.
Check whether the connecting pipes are properly installed, including hot and cold water pipes, gas pipes (if it is a gas water heater), or wires (if it is an electric water heater). Make sure the connection is tight and there is no water leakage, gas leakage, or electric leakage.
Read and familiarize yourself with the user manual of the water heater to understand its operation method, safety precautions, and maintenance requirements.
2. Set the temperature
Set the appropriate water temperature according to actual needs. Generally speaking, the water temperature for showers can be set at around 40℃ - 45℃, and the water temperature for daily use such as washing hands and face can be slightly lower.
For water heaters with adjustable temperature, use the temperature adjustment knob or control panel to set it. Be careful not to set the temperature too high to avoid scalding or wasting energy.
3. How to use
Turn on the hot water tap: When hot water is needed, turn on the corresponding hot water tap. The water heater will sense the water flow and start heating the water.
Adjust the water flow: Adjust the water flow of the hot water faucet as needed. A larger water flow may cause the water temperature to drop, while a smaller water flow may increase the water temperature. At the same time, reasonable adjustment of the water flow can also save water resources.
Waiting for hot water to flow out: After turning on the hot water faucet, you may need to wait for a while before hot water flows out. The specific time depends on factors such as the type of water heater, power, and pipe length.
Turn off the hot water faucet: When you are finished using it, turn off the hot water faucet in time. This can avoid unnecessary energy waste and hot water loss.
4. Safety precautions
Prevent scalding: When using hot water, be careful to avoid being scalded by hot water. Especially for families with children or the elderly, remind them to pay attention to the temperature of the hot water and avoid direct contact with high-temperature hot water.
Good ventilation: If it is a gas water heater, make sure that the installation location is well ventilated to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Do not use gas water heaters in confined spaces.
Regular inspection: Regularly check the operating status of the water heater, including whether there is water leakage, air leakage, abnormal noise or odor. If a problem is found, contact a professional for repair in time.
Follow the instructions: Strictly follow the instructions on the water heater and do not change the settings of the water heater or make illegal modifications.
