2.1 Intended use
This water heater is suitable for heating domestic hot water or
for reheating preheated water. The water heater can supply one
or more draw-off points.
Water will not be reheated if the maximum inlet temperature for
reheating is exceeded.
The water heater is intended for domestic use. It can be used
safely by untrained persons. The water heater can also be used
in non-domestic environments, e.g. in small businesses, as long
as it is used in the same way.
Any other use beyond that described shall be deemed inappro-
priate. Observation of these instructions and of the instructions
for any accessories used is also part of the correct use of this
water heater.
2.2 General safety instructions
DANGER
Burns
Water temperatures over 125 °F (52 °C) can cause se-
vere burns instantly or death from scalding. A hot water
scalding 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 thermo-
stat be set at 113 °F (45 °C) or lower to prevent possible
injury from hot water.
CAUTION
Burns
If operating with preheated water, e.g. from a solar
thermal system, the DHW temperature may vary from
the selected set temperature.
