Frequently Asked Questions - EBK 5 K automatic STIEBEL ELTRON

How do I descale the EBK 5 K automatic?

Use an environmentally compatible formic acid-based descaling agent. Fill the appliance with water and descaling agent, set the temperature selector to the descaling setting, and heat. Rinse thoroughly with cold water afterwards.

What does the ON/OFF indicator mean?

The ON/OFF indicator illuminates while the water is heating. It goes out when the selected temperature is reached and the appliance switches off automatically.

Can children use this appliance?

Yes, children aged 8 and up can use it under supervision or if instructed on safe use. They must not play with or clean the appliance.

What happens if I overfill the appliance?

Boiling water may spurt out through the overflow/steam pipe. Always fill between the cup symbol and maximum 5 liters.

How do I adjust the flow rate?

Use the throttle screw on the tap. Turn clockwise to reduce flow, counterclockwise to increase. Maximum flow rate is 10 l/min.

Can I install the appliance under the sink?

No, always install vertically oversink (above the sink) in a frost-proof room. The overflow/steam pipe must not be enclosed.

What should I do if the appliance does not heat?

Check power supply, fuse/MCB, and ensure the appliance is filled with water. If still not heating, contact a qualified contractor to check the heating element or temperature selector.

How do I replace the power cable?

Only a qualified contractor authorized by the manufacturer should replace it with the original spare part (part no. 020671). Permanent installation is not permitted.

What is the maximum temperature setting?

The temperature selector can be turned to the boiling end stop, which heats water to boiling (100 °C). The appliance switches off automatically when the temperature is reached.

Is the appliance suitable for commercial use?

Yes, it can be used in non-domestic environments such as shops, offices, and hotels, provided it is used for heating and boiling domestic hot water only.

This appliance is intended for domestic use. It can be used safely by untrained persons. The appliance can also be used in a non-domestic environment, e.g. in a small business, as long as it is used in the same way.

Any other use beyond that described shall be deemed inappropriate. Observation of these instructions is also part of the correct use of this appliance. Any changes or modifications to this appliance void all warranty rights.

2.2 Safety instructions

WARNING Burns

Steam escapes from the overflow/steam pipe during the boiling process. The pipe must not be enclosed or extended.

WARNING Burns

If the appliance is overfilled, boiling water may spurt out.

WARNING Burns

Never open the cover during the heating process.

WARNING Burns

KBA 5 KA: The taps can reach temperatures above 60 °C.

WARNING Injury

The appliance may be used by children aged 8 and up and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or a lack of experience and know-how, provided that they are supervised or they have been instructed on how to use the appliance safely and have understood the resulting risks. Children must never play with the appliance. Children must never clean the appliance or perform user maintenance unless they are supervised.

Material losses

▶ If necessary, you can bring the water straight back to boiling point by keeping the temperature selector pressed.
▶ You can stop the heating process at any time by turning the temperature selector to OFF.
▶ Draw the water off via the tap.

5. Cleaning, care and maintenance

5.1 Descaling

Almost every type of water will deposit lime at high temperatures. Therefore, it is necessary to descale the appliance every so often.

WARNING Burns

Descalers that generate a lot of foam can result in the appliance overflowing, which would put users at risk.

▶ Use environmentally compatible formic acid-based descaling agents.
▶ Do not the boil water during descaling.

Technical line drawing showing two mechanical components with arrows indicating motion (no text or symbols)

▶ When the appliance has cooled down, open the cover.
▶ Open the locking tab, if required with the help of the cover or a spoon.

Material losses

The descaling agent may cause corrosion on the casing. To avoid this, take care when pouring in the water and descaling agent. Use a funnel if required and avoid any overflow.

▶ Fill the appliance with the recommended amount of water and descaling agent.
▶ Push in the locking tab and close the cover.

▶ Turn the temperature selector to the descale setting (see diagram).
▶ Switch the appliance on by pressing the temperature selector.
Leave the descaling agent to take effect and repeat the heating process if necessary.
▶ Draw off all the water and rinse the appliance out several times with cold water.
▶ Boil the maximum possible volume of water and draw this water off once again.

5.2 Cleaning

▶ Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the appliance.

6. Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Remedy
The appliance does not heat up.	The appliance is not plugged into the mains.	Insert the plug into the mains socket.
