2. Safety
2.1 Intended use
The appliance is intended for domestic use. It can be used safely
by untrained persons. The appliance can also be used in non-do-
mestic environments, e.g.in small businesses, as long as it is
used in the same way.
This pressure appliance is designed to heat DHW. The appliance
can supply one or more draw-off points.
Any other use beyond that described shall be deemed inappro-
priate. Observation of these instructions and of the instructions
for any accessories used is also part of the correct use of this
appliance.
2.2 General safety instructions
CAUTION Burns
During operation, the tap can reach temperatures in ex-
cess of 60 °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 aged3 and older
and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or a lack of experience and know-how, pro-
vided that they are supervised or they have been in-
structed on how to use the appliance safely and have
understood the potential risks. Children must never play
with the appliance. Children must never clean the ap-
pliance or perform user maintenance unless they are
supervised.
!
WARNING
For continued safety of this appliance it must be in-
stalled, operated and maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
!
WARNING
This appliance may deliver water at high temperature.
Refer to the plumbing code of Australia (PCA), local re-
quirements and installation instructions to determine
if additional delivery temperature control is required.
!
Material losses
The user should protect the appliance and its tap against
frost.

3. Appliance description
The hydraulically controlled instantaneous water heater heats the
water as it flows through the appliance. The heating output starts
automatically as soon as a tap is opened and the starting flow
rate is exceeded (see chapter "Specification/ Data table"). Adjust
the DHW flow rate and temperature by mixing it with cold water
at the tap.
You can choose between 2 output stages. Two further output stages
are hydraulically controlled in relation to the flow rate.
The flow rate controller compensates for pressure fluctuations,
thereby ensuring largely stable temperatures. The controller limits
the throughput, thereby ensuring an adequate increase in the
DHW temperature at all times.
Heating system
The tubular heater heating system has a pressure-tested copper
cylinder. The heating system is suitable for soft water areas (for
application range, see chapter "Specification / Data table").
4. Settings
D0000042703
1 2
1 Low power
2 This setting is suitable, for example, for washing your hands.
At low flow rates, the appliance starts heating at half the se-
lected output.
3 Full power
This setting is suitable, for example, for baths, showers and
washing up. At low flow rates, the appliance starts heating
at half the selected output and at higher flow rates, the full
selected output.
f Click the output selector into the required position.
For start volumes, see chapter "Specification/ Data table/ On".
4.1 Recommended tap/valve settings
Note
If the outlet temperature is not high enough when the
draw-off valve is fully open at full power, then more water
is flowing through the appliance than can be heated by
the heating system (appliance is at its output limit).
f Reduce the water volume at the draw-off valve.
Low draw-off rate = high outlet temperature
High draw-off rate = low outlet temperature
