INSTALLATION

REGISTER YOUR PRODUCT

DANGER: Electrocution
Before beginning any work on the electric installation, be
sure that main breaker panel switches are "off" to avoid
any danger of electric shock. All mounting and plumb-
ing must be completed before proceeding with electri-
cal hook-up. Where required by local, state or national
electrical codes the circuits should be equipped with a
"ground fault interrupter".
The unit must be properly grounded in accordance with
state and local codes, or in absence of such codes, in
accordance with national electric code or the Canadian
electric code. Failure to electrically ground the product
could result in serious personal injury or death.
DANGER: Electrocution
Never remove the appliance's cover unless the electricity
servicing the appliance is turned off. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or death.
DANGER: Burns
Water temperatures over 125 °F (52 °C) can cause severe
burns instantly or death from scalding. A hot water scald-
ing potential exists if the thermostat on the water heater
is set too high. Households with small children, disabled
or elderly persons may require that the thermostat be
set at 113 °F (45 °C) or lower to prevent possible injury
from hot water.
WARNING: Injury
!
Where children or persons with limited physical, sensory
or mental capabilities are to be allowed to control this
water heater, ensure that this will only happen under
supervision or after appropriate instructions by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be super-
vised to ensure that they never play with the water heater.
WARNING Electrocution
The connection to the power supply is only permissible
as a permanent connection in conjunction with a ¾˝
Romex clamp. Ensure the water heater can be separated
from the power supply by an isolator that disconnects
all poles with at least 1/8˝ (3 mm) contact separation.
Material losses
!
The user should protect the water heater against frost.

General description

The DHC Classic tankless water heater differs from conventional
storage type water heaters in several ways. It does not store hot
water. Instead, water is heated instantaneously as it flows through
the unit. The powerful heating elements are activated by a flow
switch as water is drawn from a hot water faucet connected to the
DHC Classic. Due to the absence of stand-by losses, the DHC Classic
has greater energy efficiency than storage type water heaters.
The temperature of the hot water delivered by the DHC Classic de-
pends on the wattage of the heating element, the temperature of
the incoming cold water, and the water flow rate through the unit.
In order for the DHC Classic to operate properly, it must be carefully
matched to the application.
In case you have questions regarding the way you plan to use the DHC
Classic, please call our technical service line at 800.582.8423 (USA and
Canada). For service outside the U.S. and Canada, please call us at
USA 413.247.3380. You can also e-mail us at info@stiebel-eltron-usa.
