Safety instructions
– There is a risk of scalding at outlet temperatures in excess
of 43 °C.
– The temperature selector should only be removed by a
qualified contractor.
– Where children or persons with limited physical, sensory or
mental abilities are allowed to use this appliance, we re-
commend a permanent temperature limit. A qualified con-
tractor can set this limit.
Possible property damage
– Frost can destroy the appliance and the connected tap. Pro-
tect the appliance and the tap against frost.

let has a vent function. Scale build-up can block the outlet
and subject the appliance to pressure.
– Never block the tap outlet.
– Only use special aerators for non-pressurised water
heaters.
– Never extend the tap outlet with a tap hose.
– Connecting the appliance via an external switching facility
such as a time switch will cause an unintentional reset of
the high limit safety cut-out. The appliance must not be
connected to a power circuit that is regularly switched on
and off by a device.

Appliance description
4.1
Function
The open vented (non-pressurised) appliance is only suitable for
undersink installation. The appliance is intended to heat cold
water for supplying a single draw-off point. It must only be used
with a non-pressurised tap.
Thermostop function
The thermostop function (thermal separation) prevents the tap
becoming hot in standby mode.
Anti-drip function
The anti-drip function prevents expansion water from escaping
from the tap during heating. When water is heated, gas bubbles
are formed. The amount of gas bubbles depends on the water
quality. At temperatures >75 °C, the rising gas bubbles can
cause residual water to drip from the tap outlet.

Subject to design, some taps have a tendency to drip for a short
while after being closed. This dripping is caused by residual wa-
ter escaping from the tap outlet and is not linked to expansion
water.
