recommended to also close the cold

possible to connect a drain hose to
the drain tap; open the nearest hot

Temperature regulation

The appliance is under water supply
pressure (maximum 8 bar). The amount
of cold water that is added is equal to
the amount of hot water used. The gas
control block automatically regulates the
gas supply. The main burner will ignite
as soon as a reduction in water
temperature is sensed by the
Figure 8 - Setting the pilot
16
thermostat. The main burner will shut
down as soon as the preset
temperature is achieved.
Position 1 = approximately 30°C
Position 2 = approximately 40°C
Position 3 = approximately 50°C
Position 4 = approximately 60°C
Position 5 = approximately 70°C
At high water temperatures there is
more scale buildup in the appliance. It is
for this reason that it is recommended to
place the temperature control knob in
position 4 as the accumulation of scale
will be reduced. In addition a safety
thermostat has been fitted. This
thermostat completely shuts off the gas
supply if the water temperature
reaches 82°C, also extinguishing the
pilot burner.
