First of all, after the installation is completed, open the top water valve to let the tank fill with water. Usually, the time of water up can be chosen in the morning or at night, avoiding water up when the sun is strong, so as not to affect the service life of the water heater.

The control panel of the water heater is the key to your operation. From the control panel, you can set the water temperature, check the water level and activate the auxiliary electric heating function (if available). Generally speaking, it is recommended to set the water temperature at 50-60 degrees Celsius, which is sufficient for daily use and avoids scalding caused by high water temperature.

On sunny days, the solar water heater will fully absorb the energy of the sun to heat the water. You can decide whether to use hot water or not according to the weather condition and usage demand. In case of continuous rainy days, when the water temperature is not up to your demand, you can activate the auxiliary electric heating function, but please pay attention to reasonable use to save energy.

For daily use, just open the hot water valve and adjust to the appropriate water temperature. During use, be careful to avoid using too much hot water at the same time, so as not to cause insufficient hot water supply.

Regarding maintenance, check the pipes of the water heater regularly for leaks, especially at the connections. Once a year, you can ask a professional to conduct a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the water heater to clean the scale in the tank to ensure the normal operation and efficient heating of the water heater.

In addition, if you do not use the water heater for a long time, such as traveling, it is recommended to empty the water tank to prevent damage to the equipment from freezing in winter.

In conclusion, the correct use and maintenance of solar water heaters will enable you to fully enjoy the convenience and comfort brought by green energy, while also contributing to environmental protection. I hope the above instructions are helpful to you, and wish you a happy life!
