Technical description

This water heater is designed to raise the outlet water temperature by an average of 25 °C above the source water temperature. Temperature can be adjusted using the temperature control knob. The water flow can be adjusted using the water flow regulation switch.
The appliance can be moved by a carrying handle.
A carry bag allows for easy transport.

Safety features

• Over-temperature sensor
  The appliance will not allow the burner to remain in operation once the outlet water temperature reaches 50 °C. The burner will automatically relight once the outlet temperature falls below 50 °C.

• Water flow sensor
  Water must be flowing through the system to allow the burner to ignite. In case the water supply is restricted or ceases, i.e. the shower head switch is in the “OFF” position, the burner will be extin-guished and will not relight until the water flow recommences.

• Tilt switch
  In the event that the appliance is moved during operation the appliance will shut down and must be switched off until a suitable surface is located.
