CLAGE CEX 9-U E-Compact Instant Water Heater Instruction Manual

CLAGE CEX 9-U E-Compact Instant Water Heater

 Description of the appliance

The instantaneous water heater CEX 9-U / CEX 9 is an electronically controlled, pressure-resistant water heater for a decentralized hot water supply to one or more outlets. Its electronic control regulates the heating power consumption depending on the selected outlet temperature, the respective inlet temperature and the flow rate, thus reaching the set temperature exactly to the degree and keep- ing it constant in case of pressure fluctuations. The required outlet temperature can be entered via keypress within a range between 20 °C and 55 °C and can be read off the digital display. The maximum inlet temperature can be up to 60 °C so that operation in connection with e.g. solar heating systems is possible.

How to use

As soon as you open the hot water tap, the instantaneous water heater switches on auto matically. When the tap is closed, the appliance automati-cally switches off.

Temperature setting

• You can set the required temperature gradually to a lower or higher value with the keys and (fig. A1).
• The temperature changes by 1 °C, in the convenience zone between 35 °C and 42 °C by 0.5 °C, if key is pressed shortly one time. Pressing a key for a longer time changes the temperature continuously.
• Note: If the temperature is set below 20 °C with key the display shows “–“ and the appliance switches off the heating function.  If the water heater supplies a shower, the maximum temperature was reduced during initial operation. This limitation cannot be exceeded.

Programme buttons
The two programme buttons allow to quickly select the preset temperature. When pressing a programme key, the preset temperature is selected and dis-played (fig. A2). The factory setting for programme is 35 °C and for pro-gramme it is 48 °C. You can assign your own settings for the programme keys:  Prolonged pressing of the programme key stores the previously selected temperature. The display changes from ”P1” or “P2“ to the newly stored temperature value. This newly set temperature is now available to you each time you press the corresponding program key (fig. A3).

Temperature limitation
This instantaneous water heater is equipped with an optional temperature limiting function. This scalding protection is deactivated in the factory set- ting.

•  Switch on: Select the limit tempe ra ture, then press and simul-taneously for at least 3 sec. The dis play briefly confirms the activation by “HI“ (fig. A4).•
• Switch off: press program key and simultaneously for at least 3 sec. The display briefly confirms the deactivation by “–“ (fig. A5).

Note: By activation of the temperature limit also the programme keys are affected. Therefore, the fixed values of the programme keys must be checked after changing the temperature limitation.
Reset to factory setting

All factory settings can be recalled:

•  Press and simultaneously. The display now counts backwards from “10“ to “00“ in second intervals. The appliance is reset at value “00“ – if you stop pressing the keys earlier, you will cancel the process (fig A6).

Top-up heating
When operating with preheated water (e.g. with solar systems), ensure that the maximum inlet temperature is not exceeded. If the inlet temperature exceeds the preselected setpoint during operation with preheated water, no power is delivered and the decimal point of the display flashes.

ECO mode
The symbol shows that the appliance works in an energy-saving mode i.e. the momentary energy consumption is subject to the selected temperature and to the flow rate in the energy-saving mode.

Power limit
If the full output of the instantaneous water heater is not sufficient to heat the tapped water quantity, this is indicated by the decimal point lighting up (e.g. in winter when several taps are open at the same time). By reducing the hot water flow, the dot stops lighting up as the power is again sufficient to reach the set temperature.

Venting after maintenance work
This instantaneous water heater features automatic air bubble protection to prevent it from inadvertently running dry. Nevertheless, the appliance must be vented before using it for the first time. Each time the appliance is emptied (e.g. after work on the plumbing system, if there is a risk of frost or following repair work), the appliance must be re-vented before it is used again.

1.  Disconnect the instantaneous water heater from the mains (e.g. via deactivating the fuses).
2.  Unscrew the jet regulator on the outlet fitting and open the cold water tap valve to rinse out the water pipe and avoid contaminating the appliance or the jet regulator.
3.  Open and close the hot water tap until no more air emerges from the pipe and all air has been eliminated from the water heater.
4.  Only then should you re-connect the power supply again (e.g. via activating the fuses) to the instantaneous water heater and screw the jet regulator back in.
5.  The appliance activates the heater after approx. 10 seconds of continuous water flow.

Cleaning and maintenance

•  Plastic surfaces and fittings should only be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive or chlorine-based cleaning agents or solvents.•
• For a good water supply, the outlet fittings (e.g. jet regulators and showerheads) should be unscrewed and cleaned at regular intervals. Every three years, the electrical and plumbing components should be inspected by an authorized professional in order to ensure the proper functioning and operational safety at all times.
