Safety

Intended use

This open vented (non-pressurized) appliance is designed for heating domestic hot water. The appliance can supply one draw-off point. This appliance is intended for domestic use. It can be used safely by untrained persons. The appliance can also be used in a non-domestic environment, e.g. in a small business, as long as it is used in the same way. Any other use beyond that described shall be deemed inappropriate. Observation of these instructions and of instructions for any accessories used is also part of the correct use of this appliance.

General safety instructions

WARNING Burns There is a risk of scalding at outlet temperatures in excess of 43 °C.
WARNING Injury The temperature selector should only be removed by a qualified contractor.
WARNING Injury The appliance may be used by children aged 8 and older 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.

Where children or persons with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities are allowed to use this appliance, we recommend a permanent temperature limit. A qualified contractor can set this limit.

Material losses
The user should protect the appliance and its tap against frost.
Material losses
Never subject the appliance to water pressure. The tap outlet has a vent function. Scale build-up can block the outlet and subject the appliance to pressure.

  • Never seal the tap outlet.
  • Only use special aerators for non-pressurized water heaters.
  • Never extend the tap outlet with a hose

Material losses
Connecting the appliance via a time switch will cause an unintentional reset of the high limit safety cut-out.

  • Never connect the appliance to the power supply via a time switch.
Test symbols

See type plate on the appliance.
Information for Australia/New Zealand:
Installation complies with standard AS/NZS 3500.4.

Appliance description

The open vented (non-pressurized) appliance constantly maintains the water content at the pre-selected temperature. The appliance may only be installed with taps for open vented (non-pressurized) water heaters (see chapter “Installation / Appliance description / Accessories”).

thermos top function
The thermos top function (thermal separation) prevents the tap becoming hot in standby mode.

Anti-drip function
The anti-drip function prevents expansion water from escaping from the tap during heating. When water is heated, gas bubbles are formed. The amount of gas bubbles depends on the water quality. At temperatures > 75 °C the rising gas bubbles can cause residual water to drip from the tap outlet.
Subject to design, some taps have a tendency to drip for a short while after being closed. This dripping is caused by residual water escaping from the tap outlet and is not linked to expansion water.

Operation

You can set any required DHW outlet temperature at the temperature selector. The heat-up indicator illuminates during the heat-up process.

  1. Temperature selector
  2. Heat-up indicator

Depending on the system, the actual temperatures may vary from the set value.

°C = Cold. On this setting, the appliance is protected from frost. The tap and the water line are not protected.
Eco = Recommended energy saving setting (approx. 60 °C), minor scaling
85 = Highest selectable temperature
Note A qualified contractor can set a temperature limit on the appliance (see chapter “Installation / Settings / Setting the temperature limit”).

Cleaning, care and maintenance

Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the appliance.
Check the tap regularly. You can remove limescale deposits at the outlet using commercially available descaling agents.
Almost every type of water will deposit lime at high temperatures. This settles inside the appliance and affects both the performance and service life. The heating elements should therefore be descaled if necessary. A qualified contractor who is aware of the local water quality will tell you when the appliance should next be descaled.

Troubleshooting

If you cannot remedy the fault, notify your qualified contractor. To facilitate and speed up your request, provide the number from the type plate (000000-0000-000000).
