3. Appliance description
The appliance heats potable water that flows through it. When
a DHW valve is opened, the heater starts automatically as soon
as the start-up volume has been reached. The heating output
is determined and matched by the flow rate and the cold water
temperature.
Heating system
The heating system is suitable for hard and soft water areas; it
is not susceptible to scale build-up. The heating system ensures
quick and efficient DHW availability.
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 heater shuts
down automatically for one minute, thereby protecting
the heating system.
Thermostatic valve
The appliance is suited to operation with a thermostatic valve.
