The illustrations can be found in the centre of the instruction manual.

Installation

Parts supplied

Preparations for installation

Leave a gap of at least 30 cm above the top edge of the appliance housing.

The water heater must be mounted so that it is absolutely perpendicular. Use a standard pipe joining piece to compensate for an uneven wall surface (Fig. VI, 2).
For an additional water connection, use a standard 50 mm branch adapter (Fig. VI, 3).

- Check the length of the mains connecting cable. If necessary, fit a longer cable to heater before it is mounted on the wall (Fig. V).

Attention!

Unplug the heater from the electricity supply before changing the cable!

■ Installation of the mixer tap (Fig. II, 1–3).
- Detach the mounting plate from the appliance.
■ Break off the template "S" (Fig. II, 4).
- Hold the template against the mounting plate and place it over the mixer tap (Fig. II, 5).
■ Mark the position of the holes for mounting the plate (Fig. II, 6).

Note: Make sure that the mounting plate is absolutely horizontal!

Any holes in the wall and rawlplugs that remain from a previous water heater can be used again. Simply identify the corresponding holes in the mounting plate.

If the previous water heater was a Siemens BK0562, bend strap "L" outwards and use the existing holes and rawlplugs (Fig. II, 7).

Wall mounting

• Fixing the mounting plate (Fig. III, 1).
  Insert mains cable "A" into the recess – towards right or left – depending on position of socket (Fig. III, 2).

- Hook the heater onto the mounting plate (Fig. III, 3).

- Attach and tighten the water intake and outlet pipes (Fig. III, 4).

- Insert the overflow pipe (Fig. III, 5).

Setting the water flow rate

The maximum water flow rate is 10 l/min, i. e. 1 litre of water takes 6 seconds to flow into the tank.

Open tap "G" fully.

- Adjust the flow rate by turning throttle screw "D" on the underside of the mixer unit (1/2 turn max.).

Electrical connection

The heater should only be connected to a properly installed, earthed socket. Do not use a socket strip.
Do not plug the heater in to the electricity supply until it has been mounted on the wall.

When installation has been completed

Explain the heater to the user and hand over the operating instructions.

Distance from wall

If the heater is not going to be mounted flush on the wall, use a standard pipe connecting piece and bend stand-off "A" to the appropriate position.

2 Wall mounting using commercially available adapter piece a, 30 mm long
3 Wall mounting using commercially available adapter piece b, 50 mm long, equipped with an additional water connection

How to operate the heater

The water must be able to flow freely out of the outlet and overflow pipes. Do not attach an aerator to the outlet pipe.
- Do not place any objects on the appliance.
■ Ensure that the mains cable does not come into contact with any of the hot parts of the appliance.
The water heater will become very hot during use! Keep children away from the heater. The water tank, mixer tap with outlet pipe and overflow pipe can all reach a temperature of 100 °C.

Select temperature

Switching ON

Press button.

Switching OFF

If a low temperature is selected, the device automatically switches off. If the device is set at higher temperatures, it must be switched off manually.

■ Turn temperature selector anti-clockwise as far as the end stop.

Open the hot-water tap

Further information

If the appliance does not switch OFF when the water boils, the appliance continues heating until the water has evaporated.

The overheating protection switches the heater OFF. Rotate the temperature selector as far as possible in an anti-clockwise direction.

After the heater has cooled down, it is ready for use again.

The temperature at which the heater switches off can vary, although the setting remains the same, due to:

• internal furring,
  – different volumes of water in the tank,
  – using the heater again before it has cooled down.

Saving energy

Only heat the amount of water that you actually require. Run the water out of the heater as soon as it has reached the selected temperature.

Cleaning

■ Simply wipe the the housing and the mixer tap with a damp cloth. Do not use acidic or abrasive cleaning materials.

Descaling the appliance

The device must be descaled if the following situations apply after selecting the maximum temperature setting:

– the water does not come to the boil,
– heater and pilot lamp switch off and on at intervals without the buzzer sounding,
– the flow of hot water out of the outlet pipe is significantly slower.

Attention!

Descaling agents can be corrosive! Wash off any spillage with water immediately! Observe the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer.

Descaling procedure

• Fill the tank with a 1/2 litre of cold water.
  ■ Pull out the descaler drawer as far as the stop.
  Pour in approx. 100 ml (small bottle) of commercially available descaling liquid suitable for use on water boilers, and add a little water.
  If the furring is quite severe, increase the amount of descaling liquid accordingly (max. 150 ml).
• Push the descaler drawer all the way into the heater.

• Adjust the temperature selector to the middle setting and switch on. Allow the solution to react for 15 minutes.
  ■ Next, top up the tank to the 5-litre mark, heat the water again and wait 30 minutes while descaling takes place.

• Slightly open the tap for filling the tank with cold water, so that the descaling solution is slowly flushed out through the overflow where it also dissolves any scale in the pipe.
  ■ After about 5 minutes, drain the tank and then rinse it out several times with fresh water.

A fault, what to do?

Attention!

Repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by an authorised technician. Improper repairs can lead to risk of serious injury to the user.

If the pilot light comes on at regular intervals when the heater is empty, this indicates that the integrated safety thermostat is protecting the appliance from overheating.

- Switch the heater off (turn the temperature selectorfullyanti-clockwise).

If the pilot light comes on at intervals although the heater is switched off:

■ Unplug the appliance from the mains and call Customer Service.

Customer Service

– Is the heater plugged in?
– Is the fuse in the domestic wiring in order?
- Has the heater cooled down sufficiently since the last time it was used to boil water?
