4. For your own safety
Installation, initial operation and maintenance of this appliance must only be conducted by an authorised professional,
who will then be responsible for adherence to applicable standards and installation regulations. We assume no liability
for any damages caused by failure to observe these instructions.
• Do not use the appliance until it has been correctly installed and unless it is in perfect working order.
• The appliance is only suitable for domestic use and similar applications inside closed, frost-free rooms, and must only be used to
heat incoming water from mains supply. It is not allowed to be used with preheated water.
• The appliance must never be exposed to frost.
• The appliance must be earthed at all times.
• The minimal specific water resistance must not fall below the value stated on the label.
• The maximum water pressure must not exceed the value on the label.
• Before commissioning for the first time and each time the appliance is emptied (e.g. due to work on the plumbing system, if there
is a risk of freezing or in case of maintenance), the appliance must be vented correctly in accordance with the instructions in this
manual.
• Do not remove the front cover under any circumstances before switching off the mains electrical supply to the unit.
• Never make technical modifications, either to the appliance itself or the electrical leads and water pipes.
• Pay attention to the fact that water temperatures in excess of approx. 43 °C are perceived as hot, especially by children, and may
cause a feeling of burning. Please note that the fittings and taps may be very hot when the appliance has been in use for some time.
• In case of malfunction, disconnect the fuses immediately. In case of leaks, cut off the cold water supply instantly. Repairs must only
be carried out by the customer service department or an authorised professional.
• This appliance must not be used by any person (including children) with limited physical, sensorial or mental abilities or failing expe-
rience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or received instructions about how to
use the appliance.Children should be supervised in order to make sure that they do not play with the appliance.
5. Description of appliance
The instantaneous water heater DCX is a microprocessor-controlled, pressure-resistant
water heater for a decentralised water supply to one or more taps.
As soon as you open the hot water tap,the instantaneous water heater switches
on automatically. When the tap is closed, the appliance automatically switches
off.
Its electronic control regulates the power consumption automatically depending on the
feed temperature and the flow rate, thus reaching the set outlet temperature up to the
appliance’s power limit.
It is also possible to define the outlet temperature by mixing the hot water (55°C) from
the instantaneous water heater with cold water by the tap. However, energy and water
will be saved when selecting the relative temperature to be used on the display of the
instantaneous water heater, without mixing cold water from the tap.
In case of a low feed temperature and a high flow rate at the same time, it could hap-
pen that the pre-set outlet temperature is not reached which is due to the fact that the
appliance exceeded its capacity. The outlet temperature can be raised by reducing the
water flow at the tap.
It is possible to use the instantaneous water heater in combination with an external load
shedding relay for electronically controlled instantaneous water heaters or a prepared
load shedding box to operate the appliance along with an electro-mechanic cooker (re-
fer to installing instructions). We recommend our heaters DEX and DSX as these heaters
have a special operation mode for load shedding relays.
