remedy
Descale or if necessary replace the shower head /
aerators.
Clean the strainer.
Check the fuse/MCB in your fuse box/distribution
board.
The appliance restarts after one minute.
Check the fuse/MCB in your fuse box/distribution
board.
Remove the cause of the fault (e.g. faulty pressure
flush).
Protect the heating system against overheating by
opening a draw-off valve downstream from the ap-
pliance for one minute. This depressurises and cools
down the heating system.
Activate the safety pressure limiter at flow pressure
by pressing the reset button, also see chapter "In-
stallation / Commissioning / Initial start-up".
Check the PCB and replace if necessary.
Re-insert the flow sensor plug.
Check the flow sensor and replace if necessary.
Attach the connecting cable; replace the set value
transducer if required.
Check the high limit safety cut-out and replace if
necessary.
Check the resistance of the heater and replace if
necessary.
Check the PCB and replace if necessary.
Reduce the flow rate. Install the flow limiter.
Check the PCB and replace if necessary.
Reduce the cold water inlet temperature to the ap-
pliance.
