Regular Function Continued
The water temperature is controlled by a thermostat. This thermostat is set to 85° C. Moreover, the thermostat comes
equipped with a temperature limit controller which functions as a dry
-
run protection appliance. If the heater element is
heating although there is no water in the basin, the heater element is shut off automatically when reaching a temperature of
approx. 135° C.
In this case the safety fuse in the temperature limit controller is activated and pops out. In order to restart the unit the fuse
button has to be pushed down again (see picture Below)
