Note

If the preset temperature is higher than the current water temperature, then the appliance might not immediately start the heating cycle. To prevent excessively frequent switching on and off, there is a heating margin. The standard setting for this margin is 4°C. The appliance starts heating when the water temperature is 4°C colder than the SETPOINT.

We refer to this margin as the hysteresis. The service and maintenance engineer can adjust (12.2 "Setting the hysteresis") this setting.

11.3.2Setting water temperature during ON mode

The water temperature can also be directly adjusted when the appliance is in the "ON mode". Simply use:
