tersunk screws must be used to secure the appliance to

the wall.

2.3 Test symbols

See type plate on the appliance.

3. Appliance description

The appliance switches on automatically as soon as you open the

hot water valve on the tap. When you close the tap, the appliance

switches off again automatically.

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

temperature is set to a ﬁxed value. This is max. 55°C, which can

be reduced by mixing in cold water at the tap.

Upwards of a certain ﬂow rate, the control unit selects the required

heating output, subject to the cold water temperature.

The electronically controlled compact instantaneous water heat-

er with automatic output matching maintains a consistent outlet

temperature. It does so irrespective of the inlet temperature, up

to the maximum output of the appliance.

Heating system

The bare wire heating system is enclosed within a pressure-tested

plastic jacket. The heating system with its stainless steel heater

spiral is suitable for hard and soft water areas and is largely in-

susceptible to scale build-up. The heating system ensures rapid

and efﬁcient DHW provision.

Note

The appliance is equipped with an air detector that large-

ly prevents damage to the heating system. If, during op-

eration, air is drawn into the appliance, the appliance

shuts down heating operation for one minute to protect

the heating system.

Following an interruption to the water supply

!

Material losses

To ensure that the bare wire heating system is not dam-

aged following an interruption to the water supply, the

appliance must be restarted by taking the following steps.

f Disconnect the appliance from the power supply by

removing the fuses/tripping the MCBs.

f Vent the appliance and the cold water inlet line (see

chapter “Installation/ Commissioning/ Initial start-

up”).

f Switch the power back ON.

OPERATION | INSTALLATION

Cleaning, care and maintenance

Recommended settings

Your instantaneous water heater offers maximum precision and

maximum convenience in DHW provision. If you do nonetheless

operate the appliance with a thermostatic valve, we recommend

adjusting the required set temperature on the thermostatic valve.

4. Cleaning, care and maintenance

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

cloth is sufﬁcient for cleaning the appliance.

f Check the taps regularly. Limescale deposits at the tap out-

lets can be removed using commercially available descaling

agents.

5. Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Remedy

The appliance will not

start despite the DHW

valve being fully open.

There is no power.

Check the fuses/ MCBs in

your fuse box/ distribu-

tion board.

aerator or shower head.

The water supply has

been interrupted.

Vent the appliance and

the cold water inlet line

(see chapter "Installa-

tion/ Commissioning/

Initial start-up").

When hot water is being

drawn off, cold water

flows for a short period.

The air sensor is detect-

ing air in the water. It

briefly switches off the

heating output.

The appliance restarts

automatically after

1minute.

Boiling noises are heard

during operation.

The appliance is not

vented.

Vent the appliance (see

chapter "Installation/

Commissioning/ Initial

2.3 Label de conformité

Voir la plaque signalétique sur l’appareil.

3. Description de l’appareil

L’appareil se met en marche dès que vous ouvrez le robinet d’eau

chaude. Lorsque vous fermez le robinet, l’appareil s’éteint auto-

matiquement.

L’appareil chauffe l’eau pendant qu’elle circule dans l’appareil.

La température de sortie de l’eau chaude sanitaire est déﬁnie sur

une valeur ﬁxe. Elle est de 55°C et peut être diminuée par l’ajout

d’eau froide au niveau de la robinetterie.

À partir d’un certain débit, la régulation se commute sur la puis-

sance de chauffe nécessaire en fonction de la température de

l’eau froide.

Le chauffe-eau instantané compact à commande électronique et

ajustement automatique de la puissance maintient la température

de sortie sur une valeur constante. Et ce, indépendamment de la

température d’arrivée d’eau et jusqu’à la puissance maximale de

l’appareil.

Système de chauffe

Système de chauffe à ﬁl nu enveloppé sous une gaine plastique

résistant à la pression. Très résistant à l’entartrage, ce système

de chauffe avec serpentin en acier inoxydable convient indiffé-

remment à l’eau faiblement et fortement calcaire. Ce système de

chauffe permet une alimentation en eau chaude sanitaire rapide

et efﬁcace.

Remarque

L’appareil est équipé d’un détecteur d’air qui prévient en

Dommages matériels

Aﬁn d’éviter une panne du système de chauffe à ﬁl nu

après une coupure d’eau, procédez selon les étapes sui-

vantes pour remettre l’appareil en service.

f Mettez l’appareil hors tension par le fusible ou le

disjoncteur.

f Purgez l’appareil et la conduite d’arrivée d’eau

froide (voir le chapitre «Installation/ Mise en ser-

vice/ Première mise en service»).

f Remettez l’appareil sous tension.

Réglages recommandés

Votre chauffe-eau instantané assure un maximum de précision et

de confort pour la production de l’eau chaude sanitaire. Si toute-

fois, vous utilisez l’appareil avec une robinetterie thermostatique,

nous vous recommandons de régler la température de consigne

souhaitée au niveau de la robinetterie thermostatique.

4. Nettoyage, entretien et

maintenance

f N’utilisez aucun produit de nettoyage abrasif ou corrosif.

Un chiffon humide sufﬁt pour le nettoyage et l’entretien de

l’appareil.

f Contrôlez régulièrement les robinetteries. Vous pouvez éli-

miner le tartre au niveau des becs de robinetterie avec les

produits de détartrage du commerce.

5. Dépannage

Problème Cause Remède

L’appareil ne démarre

pas bien que le robinet

d’eau chaude soit entiè-

rement ouvert.

L’appareil n’est pas sous

tension.

Contrôlez les disjoncteurs

de l’installation domes-

tique.

Le mousseur placé dans

la robinetterie ou la

pomme de douche sont

entartrés ou encrassés.

Nettoyez et/ou détar-

trez le mousseur ou la

pomme de douche.

L’alimentation en eau est

coupée.

Purgez l’appareil et l’ar-

rivée d’eau froide (voir le

mière mise en service»).

De l’eau froide s’écoule

temporairement pendant

le soutirage d’eau chaude

sanitaire.

Le détecteur d’air trouve

de l’air dans l’eau. Il

coupe brièvement la

puissance de chauffe.

Après 1minute, l’appa-

reil se remet automati-

quement en marche.

Des bruits d’ébullition se

produisent en cours de

fonctionnement.

L’appareil n’est pas

purgé.

Purgez l’appareil (voir le

chapitre «Installation/

Mise en service/ Pre-

mière mise en service»).

La pression d’alimenta-

tion est trop faible.

Assurez-vous que la
