2. Safety

2.1 Intended use

This sealed unvented (pressurised) appliance is intended for heating domestic hot water. You can use the appliance to supply one or several draw-off points. 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.

2.2 Safety instructions

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
If the drain pipe of the safety valve is sealed, the expansion water may cause water damage.
▶ Never close the drain pipe.

Material losses
The user should protect the appliance and its tap against frost.

2.3 Test symbols

See type plate on the appliance.

3. Appliance description

The sealed unvented (pressurised) appliance constantly maintains the water content at the pre-selected temperature. The appliance switches on automatically as soon as its temperature falls below the set value. Subject to season, varying cold water temperatures can result in different maximum mixed water and outlet volumes.

Note
A qualified contractor can set a temperature limit on the appliance (see “Installation / Settings / Setting the temperature limit”).

Note
The appliance is under mains water pressure. The water volume increases as the cylinder is being heated up. During this process, expansion water drips out through the safety valve. This is a necessary and normal process.

3.1 Operation

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

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
82 = Highest selectable temperature

4. Cleaning, care and maintenance

▶ Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the appliance.
▶ Check the taps regularly. Limescale deposits at the tap outlets can be removed using commercially available descaling agents.
▶ Have the function of the safety assembly checked regularly by a qualified contractor.

Almost every type of water will deposit limescale 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 next descaling is due.

5. Troubleshooting

6. Safety

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