2.2 General safety instructions
CAUTION Burns
During operation, the tap can reach temperatures up
to 70°C.
There is a risk of scalding at outlet temperatures in ex-
cess of 43°C.
!
WARNING Injury
The appliance may be used by children aged3 and older
and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental

See type plate on the appliance.
3. Appliance description
The appliance switches on automatically as soon as you open the
hot water valve on the tap. When you close the tap, the appliance
switches off again automatically.
The appliance heats water as it flows through it. The DHW outlet
temperature is set to a fixed value. This is max. 55°C, which can
be reduced by mixing in cold water at the tap.
From a certain flow rate, the control unit regulates the correct
heating output, subject to the temperature selected and the cur-
rent cold water temperature.
The electronically controlled compact instantaneous water heater
maintains a consistent outlet temperature. This is irrespective of
the inlet temperature, up to the maximum output of the appliance.
Heating system
The bare wire heating system is enclosed within a pressure-tested
plastic jacket. The heating system with its stainless steel heater
spiral is suitable for hard and soft water areas and is largely in-
susceptible to scale build-up. The heating system ensures rapid
and efficient DHW provision.
Note
The appliance is equipped with an air detector that large-
ly prevents damage to the heating system. If, during op-
eration, air is drawn into the appliance, the appliance
shuts down heating operation for one minute to protect
the heating system.
Following an interruption to the water supply
!
Material losses
To ensure that the bare wire heating system is not dam-
aged following an interruption to the water supply, the
appliance must be restarted by 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 power back ON.
3.1 Recommended settings
Your instantaneous water heater offers maximum precision and
maximum convenience in DHW provision. If you do nonetheless
operate the appliance with a thermostatic valve, we recommend
adjusting the required set temperature on the thermostatic valve.
4. 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 out-
lets can be removed using commercially available descaling
agents.
5. 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 board.
The aerator in the tap
or the shower head is
scaled up or dirty.
Clean and/or descale the
aerator or shower head.
The water supply has
been interrupted.
Vent the appliance and
the cold water inlet line.
When hot water is being
drawn off, cold water
flows for a short period.
The air sensor is detect-
ing air in the water. It
briefly switches off the
heating output.
The appliance restarts
automatically after
1minute.
If you cannot remedy the fault, contact your qualified contractor.
