Frequently Asked Questions - Modesto INVENTUM

How to adjust the water temperature?

Turn the temperature adjustment knob continuously. Key positions are: antifreeze position (approximately 10 °C), economy position (45 °C), normal use (60 °C) and maximum (75 °C). Use a screwdriver to adjust the child safety if necessary.

What to do if the water is too cold?

Check that the thermostat is not set too low. If the child safety is active, it may limit the temperature. Also ensure that the water heater is completely filled with water and that the thermal protection has not been triggered.

Why is water continuously flowing from the discharge valve?

This may be due to excessively high water pressure (install a pressure reducer) or a valve closing defect. Activate the valve several times to free it. If the problem persists, contact your installer.

How to activate child safety?

Turn the temperature knob to the position with the star. Use a screwdriver to place the red child safety device on the desired maximum temperature (45 °C, 60 °C or 75 °C). The knob will then not exceed this value.

2.4 Basic operation

Modesto

System under pressure (figure 2.1)

Cold tap water enters the waterheater via the inlet combination. The thermostat and the electrical heating element heat up the water to the pre-set temperature. When the water is heated, it expands, increasing the pressure in the water-heater. This overpressure is limited by the relief valve of the inlet combination.

Unpressurised system (figure 2.2)

This application does not make use of an inlet combination. The special unpressurised mixing tap drains away the expansion water. During the heating of the water, the tap drips until the pre-set temperature has been reached. There should never be any obstruction for the expansion water to drip from the tap.

Modesto Hotfill

System under pressure (figure 2.3)

The waterheater is included in the main hot water system. During use, the waterheater is filled directly with hot water from the main hot water provision, ensuring that it is always possible to draw hot water. The thermostat and the electrical heating element heat up the water to the pre-set temperature. When the water is heated, it expands, increasing the pressure in the waterheater. This overpressure is limited by the relief valve of the inlet combination.

6 Legionella prevention!

The kitchen water heater is intended for use near to the kitchen tap which provide hot water for daily use.

If the water temperature is higher than 45^ for any length of time and the water is used daily there is only a very limited risk of legionella. To avoid any risk after a long period of inactivity, it is recommended that the water should be heated once to a temperature higher than 60^ and then allowed to flow through the tap for one minute.

If the kitchen water heater is used for showers (for example in a caravan), or if hot water is not used for a long period regularly, it is recommended that the temperature be set higher than 60^ .

Storage temperature	Legionella growth water use	Daily hot	Advice
< 25 °C	No growth	not necessary	Setting only for frost protection
25 - 40 °C	Growth is possible	required	Setting not advised
45 - 60 °C	Growth not possible	required	Only for kitchen use
> 60 °C	Legionella dies	not necessary	Always safe

Legionella risk at set water heater temperatures

WARNING!

For waterheaters set at high temperature there is a burning hazard (more specifically for children).
