TO AVOID WATER SCALDING DOES NOT SCALE WHILE HEATING INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL LEARN MORE AT MICROHEAT.US/INFO MH SERIES 6 OR SCAN CODE: CONTINUOUS FLOW ELECTRIC WATER HEATER CFEWH SERIES 6-13 | SINGLE PHASE - USA Page 1 of 17...
INTRODUCTION TO CFEWH This installation manual covers the premium model of the MicroHeat Continuous Flow Electric Water Heater [CFEWH] SERIES 6-13. Units include displays showing output water temperature (settable up to 140°F, temperatures below 120°F are recommended to prevent scalding), and flow rate.
BENEFITS OF CFEWH KEY BENEFITS DECREASED INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS › Setting the water temperature on the unit below 120°F or less will prevent user scalding, unless otherwise specified. › Point-of-use installation significantly reduces requirement for hot water reticulation infrastructure. SMALL FOOTPRINT ›...
INSTALLATION OPTIONS Here are some suggested options SINGLE UNIT for installation. The flexibility of the OPTION unit allows custom solutions for your needs, whether point-of-use or PRESSURE LIMITING multi-point-use. Please note that the COLD VALVE location and installation of the unit is WATER WATER SHUTOFF VALVE...
SPECIFICATIONS All specifications, stated operational flow rates, and output water temperatures are valid within the range of water conductivity: › 80μS/cm to 1300μS/cm + 15% at 68°F (μS–microSiemens) › 1.25kΩ-cm to 7.7kΩ-cm + 15% at 68°F NOTE: Water conductivity may be less than 80μS/cm. Reduce flow rate to achieve comfortable water temperature. Water conductivity greater than 1300μS/cm + 15% will generate an error condition.
