The continuous-flow heater may only be connected 

■

and put into operation by a qualified professional.

Repairs may only be undertaken by a suitably qualified 

■

specialist to avoid potential sources of danger.

The continuous-flow heater may only be installed in a 

■

frost-free room.

Persons (including children) with diminished bodily, sen-

■

sory or mental perception, or those who lack knowledge or 

experience should not operate the appliance, unless they 

are monitored or have received instruction concerning use

paired by a specialist or an authorised service agent.

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.
