3 High temperature
Thehot water temperature canbesetfrom 38 °C to 70 °C
(default setting: 42 °C). If the water temperature that is set is
below 48 °C before hot water generation begins, youcannot
increase the hot water temperature to above 48 °C during
operation; this is to preventscalding.
If the set water temperature was set to above 48°C before
hot water generation began , you can only reduce the tem-
perature during operation; this is to avoid scalding.
If the product is disconnected from the power mains and
started up again, the product reverts to the lasthot water
temperature that was set, up toamaximum of 48 °C.
If a hot water temperature of > 48 °C hasbeensetand no
hot water is drawn for 10 minutes , the hot water temperature
is automatically set to 48 °C.
If several remote controls are used, the hot water temperat-
ure canonly be set on the prioritised remote control.
3.6.1 Normal operating mode
Thenormal operating mode is used for hot water generation
with adjustable temperature. Thenormal operating mode is
activated after start-up.
3.6.2 ECO mode
ECO modegenerates hot water at the temperature setbe-
forehandand the water flow set beforehand.

Operation 4
0020208984_00 turboMAG pro Operating instructions7
Conditions: 13 L products
The water flow can assume various values: 6, 7, 8, 9,
10 L/min.
Conditions: 17 L products
The water flow can assume various values: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,11,
12,13, 14 L/min.
The value that was last set for the water flow is savedand
reapplied when ECO mode is activated.
3.6.3 Bath-filling mode
In bath-filling mode, you can specify the water volume that
you require (e.g. 160 L).
You can only select the bath-filling mode on the main remote
control for the product.
Note
When the water volume is 10 L below the set wa-
ter volume, an audible signal sounds. The display
shows the current water volume. Once the set wa-
ter volume is reached , an audible signalsounds
rapidly , to notify user to close the water tap . If the
water tap is not closed, the display shows the cur-
rent water volume.
The product sounds an audible signal if the bath
hasnot yet been filled after 42 minutes.
