CAUTION:
Other than the filter screen, the Mini does not

of malfunction please contact a licensed plumber or electrician.
Stiebel Eltron Mini tankless heaters are designed for a very long
service life. Actual life expectancy will vary with water quality
and use. To ensure consistent water flow, it is recommended to
periodically remove scale and dirt that may build up at the aerator
of the faucet or in the shower head. Also, the Mini has a built in filter
screen that should be cleaned from time to time. In order to do this,
turn off the cold water supply at the isolating valve. Clean screen
and put the screen back into its original position.
