Function
•
Water comes in through the cold water inlet.
•
The flow switch senses water is passing through the
unit. If it detects more than the pre-set level, the
unit’s heating the elements switch on. This is shown
by the neon light glowing.
•
The water is heated instantly as it pas ses through the
copper heat exchanger tube.
•
The unit is Thermostatic i.e. it will switch the
elements on and off in order to maintain a constant
outlet temperature.
The temperature of the water coming out of the unit
depends on:
•
The voltage of the electrical supply,
•
The temperature of the incoming water.
•
The setting of the temperature dial.
A high flow rate can also negatively effect the hot water
temperature.
Depending on the region of the country, the temperature
of the water supply can vary from 40°F in winter to about
70°F in the summer, with an average of about 50°F.
Extreme weather conditions can cause the inlet
temperature to go outside these boundaries, making it
necessary to adjust the Temperature Adjustment
Spindle and/or the inlet water flow
Manual reset thermal cut-out
•
The unit has one double pole thermal cut out which is
mounted on the heat exchanger tube.
•
When tripped the cut out needs to be reset manually
inside the unit.
•
The cut-out will trip only in exceptional circumstances
(Fig. 2). Call your service person or Bosch
Thermotechnology Corp. if this happens frequently.
