Taps
Use suitable pressure taps/valves (see chapter "Installation /
Appliance description / Accessories"). Open vented taps are not
permissible.
Note
Never use the 3-way ball shut-off valve in the cold water
inlet to reduce the flow rate. The 3-way ball shut-off valve
is intended to shut off the appliance.
Permissible water line materials
- Cold water inlet line:
Pipes made from galvanised steel, stainless steel, copper or
plastic
- DHW outlet line:
Pipes made from stainless steel, copper or plastic
Material losses
!
If plastic pipework is used, take into account the max-
imum inlet temperature and the maximum permissible
pressure (see chapter "Installation / Specification / Data
table").
Flow rate
f Ensure that the flow rate required to switch on the appliance
f
is achieved (see chapter "Installation / Specification / Data
table", On).
f Increase the water line pressure if the required flow rate is
f
not achieved when the draw-off valve is fully open. If the
flow rate is not reached despite increasing the pressure, re-
move the flow limiter and install the plastic profile washer.
