Your instantaneous water heater offers maximum precision and
maximum convenience in DHW provision. Should you nonetheless
operate the appliance with a thermostatic valve, we recommend
that you:
f 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

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
f Set the temperature at the appliance to the maximum
temperature.
4. Cleaning, care and maintenance
f Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents. A damp
cloth is sufficient for cleaning the appliance.
