Note: breakdowns diagnosed by the water heater through an indication in the LCD panel result in the blocking of the appliance for 
safety reasons. Once the problem is solved, you can reset the appliance by pressing the on/off button or by unplugging and 
replugging the power supply cord.
To locate your nearest service agent, call: AU 1300 30 70 37, NZ 0800 54 33 52.

Environment considerations

Environmental protection is a fundamental corporate strategy 
of the Bosch Group. 
The quality of our products, their efficiency and environmental 
safety are all of equal importance to us and all environmental 
protection legislation and regulations are strictly observed.
We use the best possible technology and materials for 
protecting the environment taking into account of economic 
considerations.

Packaging

We participate in the recycling programmes of the countries in 
which our products are sold to ensure optimum recycling. 
All of our packaging materials are environmentally friendly and 
can be recycled.

Used appliances

Used appliances contain valuable materials that should be 
recycled.
The various assemblies can be easily dismantled and synthetic 
materials are marked accordingly. Assemblies can therefore be 
sorted by composition and passed on for recycling or disposal.

Water quality 

All Bosch water heating appliances are constructed from high 
quality materials and components and all are certified for 
compliance with relevant parts of Australian and New Zealand 
gas, electrical and water standards.

Whilst Bosch water heaters are warranted against defects, the 
warranty is conditional upon correct installation and use, in 
accordance with detailed instructions provided with the 
heater. In the case of the water supplied to the heater, it is 
important that the water quality be of an acceptable standard.

The water quality limits/parameters listed in water quality table 
are considered acceptable and generally, Australian and New 
Zealand suburban water supplies fall within these limits/
parameters.

In areas of Australia and New Zealand where water may be 
supplied, either fully or partly, from bores, artesian wells or 
similar, one or more of the important limits may well be 
exceeded and the heater could, therefore, be at risk of failure.

Where uncertainty exists concerning water quality, intending 
appliance users should seek a water analysis from the water 
supplying authority and in cases where it is established that the 
water supply does not meet the quality requirements of the 
water quality table, the Bosch warranty would not apply.

Water quality table

Maximum levels

With indication,

 

but without existence of 
solar thermal system.

The temperature selected is lower than the minimum 
power that the appliance supplies.

High incoming water temperature or low flow rate 
can create this occurrence.

▶ Increase the hot water flow. 

-or-

▶ Select a higher temperature.

If the problem persists:
▶ Call an authorised service technician.

With indication
