Operation

Note
When the water in the water heater is being heated, ex-pansion water will drip from the outlet.
With non-pressurized water heaters with anti-drip func-tion, the expansion water remains inside the water heat-er.
Turn the right handle to draw off hot water. Turn the left handle to draw off cold water.
To achieve the required temperature, turn both handles and adjust the mix of cold and hot water by increasing or reducing the respective flow rates.
WBM: You can switch between spout and hand shower. For this, pull the diverter upwards while the water is running.
The tap automatically reverts to the original position after the draw-off has ended.
