Product description:
Electric instantaneous flow heater Admiral is a device, which heats domestic hot water in flow manner.
That is the most efficient way to obtain domestic hot water in faucet, sink or shower. Water is not pre-
heated and stored, but heated directly when needed. As a consequence, no energy is lost in the process.
Admiral has state-of-the-art, patented heat exchanger, solution which eliminates scale deposition –most
common issue with standard flow devices with build-in heaters. Water is completely separated from live
components, what ensures high durability and 100% safety.
Use:
Electric instantaneous flow heater Admiral can be used to obtain domestic hot water in sink or shower.

Use:
Flow heater starts operation when water flow sensor detects demand for hot water (eg. starting a
shower) –only then device turns on and starts to consume electrical energy). Device is turned off instantly
when demand for hot water stops. It is possible to set required water temperature level, what additionally
reduces total energy consumption.
Flow heaters are equipped in overheating safety feature. When water temperature exceeds 67°C (7,5 kW)
and 72°C (12 - 21 kW) device will enter into pause mode in order to avoid scales deposition. It will be
indicated by "E1" shown on display. Device will return to standard mode after temperature cools down to
58°C. Automatics also monitors current loss, which when detected is indicated by "E2" shown on display.
"E3" is shown when temperature sensor has been damaged.
Admiral also protects build-in heating element from overheating –electric supply is turned off when
heating element temperature reaches 95°C (7,5 kW) and 90°C (12 - 21 kW). In case this protective system is
activated, one should remove external case and press RESET button.
Control:
1. Open the water faucet for a few minutes until water flow is continuous and all air is purged from water
pipes, after turning water off turn on power supply.
2. With vented installation and turned on power supply, Admiral can be used. Press , and open running
water to ensure flow rate of more than 3,2 l/min for flow heaters 12-21 kW and more than 2 l/min for flow
heater 7,5 kW.
3. In order to turn device off simply stop using hot water.
4. Use and buttons to change requested temperature.
