2.3 Test symbols

See type plate on the appliance.

3. Appliance description

The electronically controlled instantaneous water heater maintains a constant outlet temperature up to its output limit, irrespective of the inlet temperature.

The appliance heats the water directly at the draw-off point, as soon as you turn on the hot water tap. The short pipe runs ensure that energy and water losses are minimal.

For the start flow rate, see chapter "Installation / Specification / Data table, On".

The DHW output depends on the cold water temperature, the heating output, the flow rate and the selected set temperature.

Water will not be reheated if the maximum inlet temperature for reheating is exceeded.

DHW temperature

The DHW outlet temperature can be variably adjusted.

Temperature limit / Anti-scalding protection

The maximum outlet temperature for the appliance can be limited to 43^ . For this, contact your local heating contractor.

Heating system

The bare wire heating system has a pressure-tested plastic casing. The heating system is suitable for (both) soft and hard water and is largely resistant to scale build-up. This heating system ensures rapid and efficient DHW availability.

Note

The appliance is equipped with an air detector that largely prevents damage to the heating system. If, during operation, air is drawn into the appliance, the appliance shuts down for one minute, thereby protecting the heating system.

4. Operation

2602021381

Turn the temperature selector to the required position.

If the outlet temperature fails to reach the required level with the tap fully open and the temperature selector set to maximum, then more water is flowing through the appliance than can be heated by the heating element.

Reduce the flow rate at the tap.

4.1 Recommended settings

Thermostatic valve

If the appliance is being operated with a thermostatic valve, we recommend setting the temperature on the appliance to maximum. The required temperature can then be set at the thermostatic valve.

Following an interruption to the water supply

Material losses

To ensure that the bare wire heating system is not damaged following an interruption to the water supply, the appliance must be restarted taking the following steps.

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply by removing the fuses/tripping the MCBs.
• Open the tap for one minute until the appliance and its upstream cold water inlet line are free of air.
  Switch the mains power back ON again.

4.2 Temperature limit / Anti-scalding protection

The maximum outlet temperature for the appliance can be limited to 43^ . For this, contact your local heating contractor.

5. 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.

6. Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Remedy
The appliance will not start despite the DHW valve being fully open.	There is no power.	Check the fuses/MCBs in your fuse box/distribu-tion panel.
	The aerator in the tap or the shower head is scaled up or contami-nated.	Clean and/or descale the aerator or shower head.
When hot water is being drawn off, cold water flows for a short period.	The air sensor detects air in the water and briefly switches the heater off.	The appliance restarts automatically after 1 minute.
Required temperature >45 °C is not achieved.	The water supply has been interrupted.	Vent the appliance and the cold water supply line (see chapter "Operation / Recommended settings / Following an interruption to the water supply").
Cold water inlet tempera-ture is >45 °C.		Reduce the cold water inlet temperature.

If you cannot remedy the fault, notify your qualified contractor. To facilitate and speed up your request, provide the number from the type plate (000000-0000-000000).
