2.3 Test symbols

See type plate on the appliance.

3. Appliance description

This appliance with full electronic control and output matching

keeps the outlet temperature constant. The water is heated by the

electronic control unit with motorised valve to precisely the select-

ed temperature. This occurs regardless of the inlet temperature.

DHW temperature

The DHW outlet temperature can be variably adjusted. The

selected temperature is displayed.

Heating system

The bare wire heating system has a pressure-tested copper cas-

ing. The heating system is suitable for hard and soft water areas

and is largely insusceptible to scale build-up. This heating system

ensures rapid and efﬁcient DHW availability.

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 heater shuts

down automatically for one minute, thereby protecting

the heating system.

Display backlighting

The display features two-tone backlighting (green/ amber).

Efﬁciency display

Green ECO backlighting indicates that the appliance is operating

in a particularly economical way

- when the output is less than 80%

- when the maximum output is less than 80% while the inlet

temperature is higher than 35°C

- when the maximum output is less than 80% while the ECO

function is switched on

Under all other operating conditions, the backlighting is amber.

4.1 Recommended settings

Your instantaneous water heater offers maximum precision and

maximum convenience in DHW provision. Should you nonetheless

be operating the appliance with a thermostatic valve, we recom-

mend that you:

 Adjust the set temperature on the appliance to over 50°C.

Then set the required set temperature on the thermostatic

valve.

Saving energy

The following recommended settings will result in the lowest en-

ergy consumption:

- 38°C for hand washbasins, showers, bath

- 55°C for kitchen sinks

Internal anti-scalding protection (qualiﬁed contractors)

If required, the qualiﬁed contractor can set a permanent temper-

ature limit, for example in nurseries, hospitals,etc.

When supplying a shower, the appliance temperature setting

range must be adjusted by the qualiﬁed contractor to 55°C or less.

Limiting it in this way prevents water from ﬂowing out of the

appliance at temperatures which could cause injury.

Recommended setting for operation with a thermostatic valve

and water preheated by solar energy

 Set the temperature at the appliance to the maximum

temperature.

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.
