Hot Water Flowrate; Care And Maintenance Of The Appliance - Electrolux ELECTRONIC BASIC IH 18 Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

Hot water flowrate

Up to the appliance's max. power limit, the instantaneous water heater
supplies the set hot water temperature regardless of the water flowrate
selected.
If the hot water temperature is not attained when the hot water valve
is fully opened, more water flows than can be heated by the
appliance power. In this case, the hot water tap must be slightly
closed.
Because of the different inlet temperatures, the hot water output varies
depending on the season.
The following outlet flowrates for bath or shower water (40°C) or washbasin/
sink water (55°C) are attained at the inlet temperatures of 6°C, 10°C,
and 14°C.

Care and maintenance of the appliance

Clean the plastic housing as necessary with a damp cloth and dilute soap
solution. Never use any abrasive, scouring, and solvent-containing detergents.
The instantaneous water heater generally needs no maintenance. Regular
inspection of the appliance by a trained engineer will ensure its operational
reliability and prolong its service life.
Scale deposits in the outlet of fittings reduce the water flowrate. The air
bubblers of the fittings or hand shower head must therefore be cleaned from
time to time.
