2.1

Intended use

This appliance is suitable for heating domestic hot water or for
reheating preheated water. The appliance can supply one or more
draw-off points.
Water will not be reheated if the maximum inlet temperature for
reheating is exceeded.
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.
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.

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.
CAUTION Burns
If operating the appliance with preheated water,
e.g. from a solar thermal system, the DHW temperature
may differ from the selected set temperature.

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. Cleaning and user maintenance must
not be carried out by children without supervision.
Where children or persons with limited physical, sensory or men-
tal abilities are allowed to use this appliance, we recommend
asking the qualified contractor to set a permanent "Internal an-
ti-scalding protection" temperature limit.

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 can be variably adjusted.
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.
If the appliance is operated with preheated water and the inlet
temperature exceeds the chosen set temperature, the water is
not heated further.
DHW temperature
The DHW outlet temperature can be variably adjusted.
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.
