6. Overview

6.1 General Description

The Mini tankless water heater differs from conventional storage

type water heaters in several ways. It does not store hot water.

Instead, water is heated instantaneously as it ﬂows through the

unit. The powerful heating elements are activated by a ﬂow

switch as water is drawn from a hot water faucet connected to

the Mini. Due to the absence of stand-by losses, the Mini offers

greater energy efﬁciency than storage type water heaters. The

unit will continuously supply hot water as long as the faucet is

open.

The temperature of the hot water delivered by the Mini depends

on the wattage of the heating element, the temperature of the

incoming cold water, and the water ﬂow rate through the unit.

In order for the Mini to operate properly, it must be carefully

matched to the application.

In case you have questions regarding the way you plan to use the

Mini, please call our technical service line at 800-582-8423 (USA

and Canada). For service outside the U.S. and Canada, please call

us at USA 413-247-3380. You can also e-mail us at info@stiebel-

eltron-usa.com or fax us at 413-247-3369.

SERIES TANKLESS ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS | 11

OVERVIEW

The Mini can be used for hand washing type applications in the

U.S. and Canada:

– Restroom sinks in commercial/industrial facilities and homes

– Kitchen areas in commercial /industrial facilities and homes

– Cabins

– Special uses in photo developing shops, laboratories etc.

The Mini can also be used for whole apartments and homes

in warm climate zones such as the Caribbean region, Central

America and Mexico due to the higher ambient water

temperatures.

6.2 Important information before supplying power

to unit



Air in the cold water pipe will destroy the bare-wire

heating system of the Mini. If the water supply to the Mini

has been interrupted, for example due to the risk of frost or work

on the water pipe, the following steps must be carried out before

the unit is used again.

» 1. Turn off circuit breaker.

» 2. Open a hot water tap downstream of the unit for as long as

is necessary for the unit and the cold water pipe to be free of

air.

» 3. Turn on circuit breaker.

All information in these Instructions for Use and Installation

must be followed carefully. They provide important information

with regard to safety, operation, installation, and maintenance

of the device.

FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR

DEATH.

Regularly clean and descale the ﬁlter screen located in the cold water

inlet connection and if necessary replace. Always shut off power and

water to the unit prior to removing the ﬁlter screen.

A damp cloth is sufﬁcient for cleaning of the unit's housing. Do not

use any abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents.

Explain the functions of the unit to the user and familiarize him or

her with its use.

Important instructions:

» Draw the user’s attention to possible hazards (scalding).

» Hand over these instructions for future reference.

» In order to obtain a proper temperature at a single spout

mixer-type faucet, restrict cold water ﬂow to faucet by partially

closing the cold water shut-off valve under the sink until cold

water and hot water ﬂow rates are approximately the same.

10. Normal maintenance

!



CAUTION: OTHER THAN THE FILTER SCREEN, THE MINI

DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY PARTS SERVICEABLE BY THE LAY

PERSON. IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION PLEASE CONTACT A LICENSED

PLUMBER OR ELECTRICIAN.

Stiebel Eltron Mini tankless heaters are designed for a very long

service life. Actual life expectancy will vary with water quality

and use. The unit itself does not require any regular maintenance.

However, to ensure consistent water ﬂow, it is recommended to

periodically remove scale and dirt that may build up at the aerator

of the faucet or in the shower head. Also, the Mini has a built in ﬁlter

screen that should be cleaned from time to time. In order to do this,

turn off the cold water supply at the isolating valve. Clean screen

and put the screen back into its original position.
