CLAGE M3..7-O E-Mini Instant Water Heater

CLAGE-M3-7-O-E-Mini-Instant-Water-Heater-PRODACT-IMG

Description of appliance

This instantaneous water heater is intended to provide the economical heating of water sufficient for a single outlet, i.e. handwash basin, and must be connected to a special open-outlet tap to avoid any overpressure. Appliances with a higher power rating can also be used to supply a kitchen sink. When the hot water tap is opened, the instantaneous water heater switches itself on automatically and heats the water as it passes through the appliance. It is only then that the appliance uses electricity. The temperature increase depends on the flow rate.

  • Easy access to the instantaneous water heater must be guaranteed at all times for maintenance purposes. An separate shut-off valve must be installed.

  • Only use the appliance with an open-outlet tap.

  • Ensure that all accessories are removed from the packaging.

  • The water pipe must be securely embedded in the wall and it must be stable.

  • The minimum requirements for the required water resistance must be complied with. The required water resistance of the can be obtained from your water supply company.

  • The minimum requirements for the required water resistance must be complied with. The required water resistance of the can be obtained from your water supply company.

  • The water pipes must not exert any mechanical force on the water connections of the instantaneous water
    heater during installation and operation. If this cannot be guaranteed due to the installation conditions, we recommend the use of flexible connections.

  • This appliance is not suitable for warm water supply to showers.

Installation with wall bracket

  1. Secure the wall bracket to the wall with suitable screws and dowels.

Water connection (metal wall bracket)

  1. Place the metal wall bracket in a central position above the water connection as per the installation template. The metal wall bracket allows the appliance to be installed at a variable distance from the wall (up to approx. 15 mm from the wall).CLAGE-M3-7-O-E-Mini-Instant-Water-Heater-FIG-8 CLAGE-M3-7-O-E-Mini-Instant-Water-Heater-FIG-9
  2. Push the collar on to the ½ inch water connection of the tap.
  3. Screw the tap on to the ½ inch water connection and seal with thread seal tape. The water connections must be horizontal.
  4. Insert seals into the ⅜ inch connections of the tap.
  5. Hook the instantaneous water heater into the metal wall bracket from above and position it on the ⅜ inch connections of the tap.
  6. Tighten the union nuts alternately until they are hand-tight. Use a spanner to hold the instantaneous water heater water connections steady as you do so.
  7. Insert the swivel outlet into the tap body from below and screw tight.
  8. After installation, check that all connections are tight.

Electrical connection

Fill the appliance with water by repeatedly opening and closing the hot water tap before connecting to electrical power and purge completely. The heating element may be damaged if this is not done!

  1. Check that the power supply is switched off.
  2. Make sure that the cross-section of the supply line corresponds to the details in the technical specifications of these instructions.
  3. Ensure that the dimensions of the circuit breaker do correspond with the cross-section of the connecting cable of the appliance and to the cross-section of the supply line.
  4. Instantaneous water heater with plug:
  • Check that the socket is connected to the protective earth conductor.
  • Plug the plug into the socket.

Alternatively

Instantaneous water heater without plug:

  •   Note that according to VDE 0700, an all-pole disconnecting device with a contact opening width of 3 mm per phase must be provided at the installation end.
  •  Connect the connecting pipe via a junction box to the mains, as shown in the circuit diagram.

Alternatively

Connection to a permanently installed cable

  • Note that according to VDE 0700, an all-pole disconnecting device with a contact opening width of 3 mm per phase should be provided at the installation end.
  • The cross-section of the cable must meet the requirements of the minimal cross-section, as mentioned in chapter “Technical specifications“. The maximum applicable cross-section is 6 mm2.
  • Open the cover.
  • Dismount the pre-installed connection cable.
  • Route the permanently installed cable through the grommet and connect it as shown in the circuit diagram.
  • Make sure that the grommet fits tightly around the cable to ensure optimal protection against water.
  • Refit the cover on the appliance.

The earth conductor must be connected

Initial start-up

Do not switch on the electric power at this time

  1. To purge the instantaneous water heater, open the hot water tap and wait until the water emerges free of air bubbles.
  2. In order to obtain an optimum water jet at low flow rates, screw the enclosed special tap aerator into the tap outlet (M 22/24).
  3. Switch on the electric power.
  4. Adapt the water flow if necessary, if for example the temperature is not reached. The procedure is described in the chapter “Use”.
  5. Explain the functions and use of the instantaneous water heater to the user and hand over these operating instructions to the user for information and future reference.

  1. Switch off the power supply to the instantaneous water heater.
  2. Close the shut-off valve in the inlet pipe or turn off the tap.
  3. Undo the union nuts alternately. Use a spanner to hold the instantaneous water heater water connections steady as you do so. Water may leak out.
  4. Pull the instantaneous water heater up and remove it from the wall bracket.
  5. Lever the strainer out of the connection piece of the instantaneous water heater and clean or replace it.
  6. Insert the clean strainer into the connection piece and connect the water pipe to the water inlet of the instantaneous water heater.
  7. Purge the instantaneous water heater as described in the chapter “Purging”.
  8. Switch the power supply back on again.

Purging

Each time it is emptied (for example after work on the plumbing system or following repair work on the appliance), the instantaneous water heater must be purged before it is used again.

  1. Switch off the power supply to the instantaneous water heater.
  2. To purge the instantaneous water heater, open the hot water tap and wait until the water emerges free of air bubbles.
  3. Switch the power supply back on again.

Cleaning and maintenance

  • Plastic surfaces and fittings should only be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive or chlorine-based cleaning agents or solvents.
  • For a good water supply, the outlet fittings (e.g. jet regulators and shower heads) should be unscrewed and cleaned at regular intervals. Every three years, the electrical and plumbing components should be inspected by an authorised professional in order to ensure proper functioning and operational safety at all times.
