Any other use beyond that described shall be deemed inappropriate. Observation of these instructions and of the instructions for any accessories used is also part of the correct use of this appliance.

Safety instructions

WARNING Burns
There is a risk of scalding at outlet temperatures in excess of 43 °C.

WARNING Injury
The appliance may be used by children aged 8 and up and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or a lack of experience and know-how, provided that they are supervised or they have been instructed on how to use the appliance safely and have understood the resulting risks. Children must never play with the appliance. Children must never clean the appliance or perform user maintenance unless they are supervised.

Material losses
The appliance is pressurized.
During the heat-up process, expansion water will drip from the safety valve. If water continues to drip when heating is completed, please inform your qualified con-tractor.

Test symbols

See type plate on the appliance.

Appliance description

The DHW is heated via a smooth tube internal indirect coil. You can use the appliance to supply one or more draw-off points.
The appliance is equipped with an inspection flange and ther-mometer.
The steel cylinder is coated on the inside with special directly applied “anticor®” enamel and equipped with a protective anode. This anode protects the inside of the cylinder from corrosion. The cylinder is surrounded by foam insulation and a painted sheet metal casing.

Cleaning, care and maintenance
  • Have the function of the safety assembly and electrical safety of the fitted accessories regularly checked by a qualified contractor.
  • Have the protective anode checked by a qualified contractor after the first two years of use. The qualified contractor will then determine the intervals at which repeat checks should be performed.
  • Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the appliance.
Scaling

Almost every type of water will deposit limescale at high temperatures. This settles inside the appliance and affects both performance and service life. If a threaded immersion heater is in-stalled, the heating elements must 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 regularly. Limescale deposits at the tap out-lets can be removed using commercially available descaling agents.

Preparation

Installation site

Always install the appliance in a room free from the risk of frost and near the draw-off point.

STIEBEL-ELTRON-SB-VTI-100-Floor-Mounted-Cylinder-02

  • Ensure the floor is level. Use the adjustable feet to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
  • Ensure the floor has a sufficient load bearing capacity (see chapter “Specification / Data table”).
  • Observe the room height and height when tilted (see chapter “Specification / Data table”).

Minimum clearances
The minimum side clearances can be swapped between left and right.

  • Maintain the minimum clearances.
Transport

For transportation, the appliance is secured to the pallet with metal brackets.

  • Remove the screws from the pallet.
  • Turn the metal brackets to the inside of the adjustable feet under the appliance.

Removing the appliance from the pallet

Material losses
Rolling the appliance off the pallet can damage the sheet metal casing.

  • Tilt the appliance using the adjustable feet to remove it from the pallet.
  • Set the appliance down on the floor on the adjustable feet.

Installation

Heat exchanger connection

Flush the indirect coil with water before connection.

Oxygen diffusion
Material losses
Avoid open vented heating systems and underfloor heating systems with plastic pipes that are permeable to oxygen.

In underfloor heating systems with plastic pipes that are permeable to oxygen and in open vented heating systems, oxygen diffusion may lead to corrosion on the steel components of the heating system (e.g. on the indirect coil of the DHW cylinder, on buffer cylinders, steel radiators or steel pipes).

Material losses
The products of corrosion (e.g. rusty sludge) can settle in the heating system components, which may result in a lower output or fault shutdowns due to reduced cross-sections.
