Your new appliance
The electronically regulated flow-through heater warms the
water while it flows through the unit.
How to operate the continuous-flow
heater
The warm water temperature can be continuously adjusted
on the electronically regulated flow-through heater:
Washbasin
Shower
With the use of a thermostat battery, the following settings
are recommended for high temperatures or large quantities
of water, for example:
Dish washing
Cleaning
Turn on the hot-water tap.
■
The continuous-flow heater switches on and heats the water
when the hot-water tap is turned on.
It switches off again when the tap is turned off. Changing
the supply water temperature correspondingly changes the
outgoing water temperature.
Increasing the water temperature
If a higher temperature for a completely opened warm water
tap is not achieved, more water flows than the flow-through
heater can warm as a result its performance capabilities. In
this case, the warm water tap must be closed somewhat.
Decreasing the water temperature
Startup after a water cutoff
Switch off the appliance (unscrew the fuse in the house
■
electrical installation).
Turn on the hot-water tap until the air is purged from
■
the pipe.
Switch the fuse back on again.
■
The appliance is ready for operation.
Saving energy
Set the desired warm water temperature directly on
■
the flow-through heater.
Mixing with cold water at the armature for water that is too
hot consumes unnecessarily water and energy.
At approx. 40 °C (temperature selection position
) the unit
operates most economically.
