the appliance until it switches off, or set the temperature
selector to OFF.
2.3 Test symbols
See type plate on the appliance.
3. Appliance description
The appliance electrically heats up domestic hot water and is filled
via the relevant tap. The appliance switches off automatically when
it reaches the temperature selected with the temperature selector.

6 Boiling end stop
 Turn the temperature selector straight to the boiling end
stop.
 Switch the appliance on by pressing the temperature
selector.
The ON/OFF indicator illuminates while the water is heated.
Once the selected temperature has been reached, the appliance
switches itself off automatically following a system-dependent
delay. The ON/OFF indicator goes out.
The temperature at which the appliance turns off can vary depend-
ing on the fill level, the degree of scaling and the residual heat.
 If necessary, you can bring the water straight back to boiling
point by keeping the temperature selector pressed.
 You can stop the heating process at any time by turning the
temperature selector to OFF.
 Draw the water off via the tap.
5. Cleaning, care and maintenance
5.1 Descaling
Almost every type of water will deposit lime at high temperatures.
Therefore, it is necessary to descale the appliance every so often.
WARNING Burns
Descalers that generate a lot of foam can result in the
appliance overflowing, which would put users at risk.
 Use environmentally compatible formic acid-based descaling
agents.
 Do not the boil water during descaling.
26�02�04�0061
 When the appliance has cooled down, open the cover.
 Fill the appliance with the recommended amount of water
and descaling agent and close the cover.
 Turn the temperature selector to the descale setting (see
diagram).
 Switch the appliance on by pressing the temperature
selector.
 Leave the descaling agent to take effect and repeat the heat-
ing process if necessary.
 Draw off all the water and rinse the appliance out several
times with cold water.
 Boil the maximum possible volume of water and draw this
water off once again.
5.2 Cleaning
 Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents. A damp
cloth is sufficient for cleaning the appliance.
The inside of the appliance’s glass container can be cleaned if
necessary:
 Isolate the appliance from the power supply.
 When the appliance has cooled down, open the lid.
 Clean the container and heating element without using any
objects with sharp edges.
 Close the lid and plug in the mains plug again.
 If necessary, rinse out the appliance in order to remove any
cleaning agent residue.

faulty.
Check the heating el-
ement/temperature
selector and replace the
relevant component if
necessary.
The ON/OFF indicator
does not illuminate al-
though the appliance is
switched on.
The ON/OFF indicator is
faulty.
Replace the ON/OFF in-
dicator.
The flow rate is reduced
when filling the appli-
ance or drawing cold
water.

taminated.
Clean the throttle screw.
The tap leaks. A sealing element is
faulty.
Check the sealing sys-
tems and replace the
relevant sealing element
if necessary.
13. Maintenance
WARNING Electrocution
Before any work on the appliance, disconnect all poles
of the appliance from the power supply.
13.1 Servicing the taps
 When carrying out maintenance work on the taps, reduce
the water supply by using the throttle screw. Be aware that
the throttle screw is not permanently watertight (see chapter
"Commissioning").
13.2 Checking the earth conductor
 In accordance with DGUVV3, check the earth conductor on
