2.2 General safety instructions

Note

The remote temperature control has a lithium button cell

as a battery for the power supply.

Remove spent batteries. Leaking batteries cause dam-

age which is excluded from any warranty. Do not charge

non-rechargeable batteries.

Never use rechargeable batteries.

If the appliance is not used for a prolonged period, remo-

ve the battery (see chapter "Troubleshooting/ Replacing

the battery in the remote temperature control").

CAUTION Burns

The tap can reach temperatures of up to 60°C. There is a

risk of scalding at outlet temperatures in excess of 43°C.

CAUTION Burns

If operating with preheated water, e.g. from a solar ther-

mal system, the DHW temperature may vary from the

selected set temperature.

Where children or persons with limited physical, sensory or men-

tal abilities are allowed to use this appliance, we recommend a

permanent temperature limit. A qualiﬁed contractor can set the

limit for you.

!

Material losses

The user should protect the appliance and its tap against

frost.

3. Appliance description

The appliance heats water as it ﬂows through it. The DHW outlet

temperature can be variably adjusted at the temperature selector.

From a certain ﬂow rate, the control unit regulates the correct hea-

ting output, subject to the temperature selected and the current

cold water temperature.

The ﬂow rate is automatically reduced by the ﬂow regulator valve

when inlet temperatures are low and the required outlet tempera-

ture is high. This ensures that the required temperature is reliably

achieved. If operating the appliance with preheated water, "Error"

will appear on the display at temperatures of 45°C and above.

Two different temperatures can be saved and called up quickly.

The ECO function limits the ﬂow rate to the ECO ﬂow rate and sets

a pre-deﬁned ECO temperature. The appliance also has child-

prooﬁng functions, a Wellness program, automatic water volume

control, dynamic anti-scalding protection and a permanent tempe-

rature limiting feature. The background lighting on the appliance's

display can also be used as an orientation light.

Heating system

The bare wire heating system has a pressure-tested plastic ca-

sing. 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 lar-

gely prevents damage to the heating system. If, during

operation, air is drawn into the appliance, the appliance

shuts down for one minute, thereby protecting the hea-

ting system.
