2. Safety
2.1 Intended use
The appliance is intended for domestic use. It can be used safely
by untrained persons. The appliance can also be used in non-do-
mestic environments, e.g. in small businesses, as long as it is
used in the same way.
This appliance is suitable for heating domestic hot water or for
reheating preheated water. The appliance is designed for one hand
washbasin.
Any other use beyond that described shall be deemed inappro-
priate. Observation of these instructions and of the instructions
for any accessories used is also part of the correct use of this
appliance.
2.2 General safety instructions
DANGER Scalding The tap can reach temperatures of up to 55°C. There is a
risk of scalding at outlet temperatures in excess of 43°C.
!WARNING Injury
The appliance may be used by children aged3 and older
and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or a lack of experience and know-how, pro-
vided that they are supervised or they have been in-
structed on how to use the appliance safely and have
understood the potential risks. Children must never play
with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must
not be carried out by children without supervision.
DANGER Electrocution Any damaged power cables must be replaced by a qual-
ified electrician. This prevents potential hazards from
arising.
!Material losses
Protect the appliance and tap against frost.
!Material losses
Only use the special aerator provided. Prevent scale
build-up at the tap outlets (see chapter "Cleaning, care
and maintenance").
2.3 Test symbols

OPERATION
Appliance description
3. Appliance description
The electronically controlled mini instantaneous water heater
maintains a constant outlet temperature up to its output limit,
irrespective of the inlet temperature.
This appliance has been factory-set to the outlet temperature
required for washing hands. Once this temperature has been
reached, the PCB automatically reduces the output. The output is
matched to the required temperature, this prevents the temper-
ature being exceeded.
The appliance heats the water directly at the draw-off point as
soon as the tap is opened. The short pipe runs ensure that energy
and water losses are minimal.
The DHW output depends on the cold water temperature, the heat-
ing output and the flow rate.
The bare wire heating system is suitable for hard and soft water
areas. This heating system has a low susceptibility to scale build-
up. The heating system ensures quick and efficient DHW provision
at the hand washbasin.
Your qualified contractor can adjust the maximum temperature
and flow rate (see chapter "Commissioning/ Settings").
Fitting the special aerator supplied provides an optimum water jet.
4. Settings
The appliance heating system switches on automatically as soon
as you open the DHW valve at the tap or activate the sensor of a
sensor tap. The water is heated. The water temperature can be
adjusted at the tap:
For the starting flow rate and flow rate limiting, see chapter "Spec-
ification".
Increasing the temperature
 Reduce the flow rate at the tap.
Reducing the temperature
 Open the tap further or add more cold water.
Following an interruption to the water supply
See chapter "Commissioning/ Recommissioning".

OPERATION
Cleaning, care and maintenance
8| EIL Premium www.stiebel-eltron.com
5. Cleaning, care and maintenance
 Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents. A damp
cloth is sufficient for cleaning the appliance.
 Check the taps regularly. Limescale deposits at the tap out-
lets can be removed using commercially available descaling
agents.
 Have the electrical safety of the appliance regularly checked
by a qualified contractor.
 Regularly descale or replace the special aerator (see chapter
"Appliance description/Accessories").
6. Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Remedy
The appliance will not
start despite the DHW
valve being fully open.
No power at the appli-
ance. Check the fuse/MCB in your fuse box/distribu-
tion board.
The aerator in the tap is
scaled up or dirty. Clean and/or descale the aerator or replace the
special aerator.
The water supply has been interrupted. Vent the appliance and the cold water inlet line
(see chapter "Settings").
The required tempera-
ture is not being reached. The maximum tempera-
ture set inside the appli-
ance is too low.
Have your qualified con-
tractor adjust the maxi-
mum temperature.
The appliance has
reached its output limit. Reduce the flow rate.
If you cannot remedy the fault, notify your qualified contractor.
To facilitate and speed up your request, provide the number from
the type plate (000000-0000-00000).

7. Safety
Only a qualified contractor should carry out installation, commis-
sioning, maintenance and repair of the appliance.
7.1 General safety instructions
We guarantee trouble-free function and operational reliability only
if original accessories and spare parts intended for the appliance
are used.
!Material losses
Observe the max. permissible inlet temperature. Higher
temperatures may damage the appliance. You can limit
the inlet temperature by installing a central thermostatic
valve.
WARNING Electrocution This appliance contains capacitors which are discharged
when disconnected from the power supply. The capacitor
discharge voltage may briefly reach >34VDC.
7.2 Instructions, standards and regulations
Note Observe all applicable national and regional regulations
and instructions.
The specific electrical resistance of the water used must not fall
below that stated on the type plate. In a linked water network,
factor in the lowest electrical resistance of the water (see chapter
"Specification/ Data table"). Your water supply utility will advise
you of the electrical resistivity or conductivity of the water in your
area.
