SAFETY

2. Safety

2.1 Intended use

This appliance is intended for residential use. It can be used safely

by untrained persons. The appliance can also be used in a non-res-

idential environment, e.g. in a small business, as long as it is used

in the same way.

This appliance is suitable for heating domestic hot water (DHW)

or for heating preheated water. The appliance is designed for one

hand-washing sink.

Note:

The Mini-E 6-2 is the only Mini-E model which is designed

to supply hot water to one OR two hand-washing sinks.

Plumbing any other Mini-E model to more than one

hand-washing sink shall be deemed inappropriate.

Any other use beyond that described shall be deemed inappropriate.

Observation of these instructions and of instructions for any acces-

sories used is also part of the correct use of this appliance.

2.2 General safety instructions

DANGER: Scalding

During operation, the tap can reach temperatures in

excess of 122 °F (50 °C). There is a risk of scalding at outlet

temperatures in excess of 109 °F (43 °C).

DANGER: Electrocution

Any damaged power cables must be replaced by a qual-

iﬁed electrician. This prevents potential hazards due to

improper installation.

!

Material losses:

Protect the appliance and the tap against freezing.

!

Material losses:

Only use the provided aerator(s). Prevent scale build-up at

the tap outlets (See chapter 6, “Cleaning, care and main-

tenance”, pg. 7).

4. Appliance description

This thermostatically controlled tankless electric water heater main-

tains a constant outlet temperature up to its output limit, regardless

of the inlet temperature.

This appliance has been factory-set to 100 °F (38 °C). Once this

temperature has been reached, the main control board automat-

ically maintains this temperature. The output is matched to the set

temperature and prevents this temperature from being exceeded.

The appliance heats the water directly at the draw-off point as soon

as the tap is opened. Short pipe runs ensure that energy and water

losses are minimal.

The DHW output temperature depends on the cold water tempera-

ture, water heater capacity and the ﬂow rate.

The Advanced Direct Coil™ heating system is suitable for hard and

soft water areas. This heating system has a low susceptibility to scale

build-up. The heating system ensures quick and efﬁcient hot water

provided at the point-of-use.

Your qualiﬁed contractor can adjust the maximum temperature

setting (see 11.4, “Settings”, pg. 13).

You must use the aerator provided with the appliance.

5. Adjustment

The appliance heating system switches on automatically as soon as

you open the tap. The water is heated. The water temperature can

be adjusted at the tap:

To increase the temperature

f Reduce the ﬂow rate at the tap.

To reduce the temperature

f Open the tap further or add more cold water.

Following an interruption of the water supply

See 11.3, “Recommissioning”, pg. 13.

6. Cleaning, care and maintenance

f Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents. A damp cloth

is sufﬁcient for cleaning the outside of the appliance.

f Check the taps/valves regularly. Lime-scale deposits can be

removed using commercially available descaling agents.

f Have the electrical safety of the appliance periodically checked

by an electrician.

f Regularly descale or replace the provided aerator(s) (See 8.2,

“Optional accessories”, pg. 8).
