Appliance description

Test symbols
See type plate on the appliance.

Appliance description

The appliance electrically heats domestic hot water, with the temperature controlled via the temperature selector. Subject to the power supply, the water is heated automatically to the required temperature. You can use the appliance to supply one or several draw-off points. The steel cylinder is coated on the inside with special directly applied enamel and is equipped with a thermometer and a protective anode. The anode with consumption indicator protects the cylinder interior from corrosion. The cylinder is enclosed by thermal insulation and a casing. The appliance is also protected against frost on the temperature setting “cold” as long as the power supply is guaranteed. The appliance switches on in good time and heats the water. The water supply line and the safety assembly are not protected against frost by the appliance.

Settings
The temperature is infinitely adjustable. Depending upon the system, the temperatures may vary from the set value.

  • 1 Thermometer
  • 2 Temperature selector
  • Cold (frost protection)
  • I Low-temperature setting, 35 °C
  • E Recommended energy saving position, low scaling, approx. 60 °C
  • III Maximum temperature setting, 82 °C

Temperature selection is limited in the delivered condition. This limitation can be cancelled by a qualified contractor (see chapter “Installation / Settings”).

Cleaning, care and maintenance

  • Have the electrical safety of the appliance and the function of the safety assembly regularly checked by a heating contractor.
  • Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the appliance.

Signal anode with consumption indicator (SHW ACE only)

Material damage
If the consumption indicator changes colour from white to red, have the signal anode checked by a heating contractor and if necessary replaced.

  1. Signal anode with consumption indicator
  2. White = anode OK
  3. Red = ask your heating contractor to check

Scaling

  • Almost every type of water deposits lime at high temperatures.
  • This settles inside the appliance and affects both the performance and service life. The heating elements must therefore be descaled from time to time. A qualified contractor who knows the local water quality will tell you when the next service is due.
  • Check the taps/valves regularly. You can remove limescale deposits at the tap outlets using commercially available descaling agents.
  • Regularly activate the safety valve to prevent it from becoming blocked e.g. by limescale deposits.

Troubleshooting

Fault Cause Remedy

  • The water does not heat up. There is no power. Check the fuses/MCBs in your fuse box
  • The flow rate is low. The aerator in the tap or shower head is scaled up or contaminated. Clean and/or descale the aerator or shower head.

If you cannot remedy the fault, notify your heating contractor. To facilitate and speed up your enquiry, please provide the serial number from the type plate (no. 000000-0000-000000):
