CHAPTER 6. SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
6.1 INTRODUCTION
The SmartPlate Water Heater requires regular routine maintenance to keep the unit operating at
optimum efficiency. AERCO recommends that the tasks listed in Table 6-1. (Scheduled
Maintenance Action) be performed at the periodic intervals specified. Table 6-1 consists of three
columns arranged as follows:
 Interval Column. The Interval column contains alphabetical symbols which list all of the
recommended scheduled maintenance tasks contained in this Chapter. The following
interval symbols shall be used in the order of increasing intervals: W (Weekly), Q
(Quarterly), S (Semi-Annually), A (annually) and P (periodic).
 Maintenance Action Column. This column lists the required maintenance action which
corresponds to the interval symbol in the previous column.
 Reference Column. This column lists the paragraph number containing the required
procedure.
