vere burns instantly or death from scalding. A hot water
scalding potential exists if the thermostat on the appli-
ance is set too high. Households with small children,
disabled or elderly persons may require that the thermo-
stat be set at 113 °F (45 °C) or lower to prevent possible
injury from hot water.

3. General
The 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 appliance.
Due to the absence of stand-by losses, the appliance offers greater
energy efficiency than storage type water heaters.
The input of heat into the water is electronically controlled. The
appliance will deliver any water temperature between 86 °F
(30 °C) and 140 °F (60 °C). Please set the desired temperature
using the knob on the front cover.
Note
For reasons of appliance efficiency and durability (scal-
ing), the optimum temperature setting lies between 86 °F
(30 °C) and 120 °F (50 °C).
In case the "Power" light is flashing while the appliance operates,
the water flow rate exceeds the heating capacity of the appli-
ance. Reduce the hot water flow rate in order to let the appliance
achieve the set point temperature. The maximum temperature is
electronically limited to 140 °F (60 °C). In case you have questions
regarding the way you plan to use the appliance, please call our
technical service line, see last side.
