Property damage
The user should protect the appliance and its tap against frost.

Test mark
See type plate on the appliance.

Appliance description

The appliance switches on automatically as soon as you open the hot water valve on the tap. When you close the tap, the appliance switches off again automatically.
The appliance heats water as it flows through it. The temperature is adjustable inside the appliance. Upwards of a certain flow rate, the control unit selects the required heating output, subject to the temperature selected and the cold water temperature.

The electronically controlled instantaneous water heater with automatic output matching maintains a consistent outlet temper­ature. It does so irrespective of the inlet temperature, up to the maximum output of the appliance.
This appliance is not approved for reheating preheated water.

Heating system
The bare wire heating system is enclosed within a pressure-tested plastic jacket. The heating system with its stainless steel heater spiral is suitable for hard and soft water areas and is largely in­susceptible to scale build-up. The heating system ensures rapid and efficient DHW provision.

Notice
The appliance is equipped with an air detector that large­ ly prevents damage to the heating system. If, during op­eration, air is drawn into the appliance, the appliance shuts down heating output for one minute to protect the heating system.

Settings
Following an interruption of the water supply

Property damage

To ensure that the bare wire heating system is not dam­aged following an interruption to the water supply, the appliance must be recommissioned by taking the following steps.

  • Disconnect the appliance from the power supply by removing the fuses/tripping the MCBs.
  • Open and close all connected draw-off valves several times for at least one minute until all air has been purged from the pipework and the appliance.
  • Switch on the power supply again.

Settings

Setting the temperature
The DHW outlet temperature is set at the factory to 55 °C (relative to a rated voltage of 400 V, see chapter “Installation/ Commis­sioning/ Preparations”). Your qualified contractor can set a lower temperature inside the appliance.

Notice
If the outlet temperature is not high enough when thedraw-off valve is fully open, then more water is flowing through the appliance that can be heated by the heating system (appliance working at maximum output).

  • Reduce the water volume at the tap.

Recommended settings
Your instantaneous water heater offers maximum precision and maximum convenience in DHW provision. If you nonetheless operate the appliance with a thermostatic valve, we recommend] that you:

  • Ask your qualified contractor to set the temperature to 55 °C inside the appliance. Then set the required set temperature on the thermostatic valve.

Saving energy
The following recommended settings will result in the lowest energy consumption:

  • 35 °C for hand washbasins
  • – 55 °C for kitchen sin ks

Temperature limits (qualified contractors)
If required, the qualified contractor can set a permanent temperature limit, for example in nurseries, hospitals, etc.
Limiting it in this way prevents water from flowing out of the appliance at temperatures that could cause injury.

Cleaning, care and maintenance

  • Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the unit.
  • Check the taps regularly. Limescale deposits at the tap outlets can be removed using commercially available descaling agents.

Safety

Only a qualified contractor should carry out the installation, commissioning, maintenance and repair of the appliance.

General safety instructions
We guarantee trouble-free function and operational reliability only if original accessories and spare parts intended for the appliance are used.

Property damage
Observe the maximum inlet temperature. Higher temperatures may damage the appliance. You can limit the maximum inlet temperature by installing a central thermostatic valve.

WARNING Electrocution
This appliance contains capacitors which are discharged when disconnected from the power supply. The capacitor discharge voltage may briefly exceed > 60 V DC.

Instructions, standards and regulations
Notice

Observe all applicable national and regional regulations and instructions.

  • The IP 24 / IP 25 protection rating can only be ensured with a correctly fitted cable grommet.
  • The electrical resistivity of the water must not fall below that stated on the type plate. In a linked water network, take into consideration the lowest electrical resistivity of the water.
    Your water supply utility will advise you of the electrical resistivity or conductivity of the water in your area.

Maintenance

WARNING Electrocution
Before any work on the appliance, disconnect all poles from the power supply.
This appliance contains capacitors which are discharged when disconnected from the power supply. The capacitor discharge voltage may briefly exceed > 60 V DC.

Draining the appliance
The appliance can be drained for maintenance work.

WARNING Burns
Hot water may escape when you drain the appliance.

  • Close the 3-way ball shut-off valve or the shut-off valve in the cold water supply line.
  • Open all draw-off valves.
  • Undo the pipe connections from the appliance.
  • Store the dismantled appliance free from the risk of frost, as water residues remaining inside the appliance can freeze and cause damage.

Clean the strainer
If the strainer in the threaded cold water fitting is dirty, clean it. Close the 3-way ball shut-off valve or the shut-off valve in the cold water supply line before removing, cleaning and refitting the strainer.
