6. Overview
6.1 General Description
The Mini tankless water heater differs from conventional storage type water heaters in several ways. It does not store hot water. Instead, water is heated instantaneously as it flows through the unit. The powerful heating elements are activated by a flow switch as water is drawn from a hot water faucet connected to the Mini. Due to the absence of stand-by losses, the Mini offers greater energy efficiency than storage type water heaters. The unit will continuously supply hot water as long as the faucet is open. The temperature of the hot water delivered by the Mini depends on the wattage of the heating element, the temperature of the incoming cold water, and the water flow rate through the unit. In order for the Mini to operate properly, it must be carefully matched to the application. In case you have questions regarding the way you plan to use the Mini, please call our technical service line at 800.582.8423 (USA and Canada). For service outside the U.S. and Canada, please call us at USA 413.247.3380. You can also email us at info@stiebel-eltron-usa.com or fax us at 413.247.3369.

OVERVIEW
The Mini can be used for hand washing type applications in the U.S. and Canada:
– Restroom sinks in commercial/industrial facilities and homes – Kitchen areas in commercial /industrial facilities and homes – Cabins – Special uses in photo developing shops, laboratories etc.
The Mini can also be used for whole apartments and homes in warm climate zones such as the Caribbean region, Central America and Mexico due to the higher ambient water temperatures.
6.2 Important information before supplying power to unit
Air in the cold water pipe will destroy the Advanced Direct
Coil™ heating system of the Mini. If the water supply to the Mini has been interrupted, for example due to the risk of frost or work on the water pipe, the following steps must be carried out before the unit is used again.
» 1. Turn off circuit breaker.
» 2. Open a hot water tap downstream of the unit for as long as
is necessary for the unit and the cold water pipe to be free of air.
» 3. Turn on circuit breaker.
All information in these Instructions for Use and Installation must be followed carefully. They provide important information with regard to safety, operation, installation, and maintenance of the device.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
6.6 Maintenance and care
Maintenance work, such as checking electrical safety, may
!
only be carried out by a qualified installer.
WARNING: Always shut off power and water to the unit
prior to removing the filter screen. Failure to do so may
cause serious bodily injury or death.
Regularly clean and descale the filter screen located in the cold water inlet connection and if necessary replace. Always shut off power and water to the unit prior to removing the filter screen.
A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning of the unit's housing. Do not use any abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents.
7. Installation instructions
Keep these instructions carefully and pass them on to
your successor in the event of a change in ownership, in the even t of m aint enance and pos sib le re pair w ork t hey sh ould b e passed to the qualified installer for his or her reference.
7.1 Mounting the unit
Unit must be installed with the plumbing connections
!
pointing downward or upward only.

splashed with water. Electric shock or death may result.
» 1. Install Mini as close as possible to the hot water draw-off
point, for example, directly underneath the sink or next to the shower stall.
» 2. Install Mini in a frost free area. If frost may occur, remove
unit before freezing temperatures set in.
» 3. Leave a minimum of 5" of clearance on all sides for
servicing.
» 4. Remove plastic cover by removing screws located on the left
and right sides of the unit
» 5. Remove plastic backplate by pulling on the tab with a
screwdriver

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
7.2 Plumbing connections
NOTE: If soldering near the unit is necessary,
please direct the flame away from the housing of the unit in order to avoid damage. Excessive heat from soldering on copper pipes near the Mini may cause damage. All plumbing work must comply with national and applicable state and local plumbing codes.
» 1. All plumbing work must comply with national and
applicable state and local plumbing codes.
» 2. A pressure reducing valve must be installed if the cold water
supply pressure exceeds 150 psi (10 bar).
» 3. Make certain that the cold water supply line has been
flushed to remove any scale and dirt.
» 4. Install isolating valve in cold water line as shown in
illustration maintenance purposes.
» 5. Cold water connection (inlet) is on the right side of the unit,
hot water connection (outlet) is on the left side of unit.
» 6. Tankless water heaters such as the Mini are not required
to be equipped with a Pressure and Temperature Relief Valve (except in Massachusetts). If the local inspector will not pass the installation without a P+T valve, it should be installed on the hot water outlet side of unit.
. This allows the unit to be isolated for

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
7.3 Electrical connection
WARNING: Before beginning any work on the electric
installation, be sure that the main circuit breaker panel switch is “off” to avoid any danger of electric shock. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death. All mounting and plumbing must be completed before proceeding with electrical hook-up. Where required by local, state or national electrical codes, the circuit should be equipped with a ground fault interrupter.
WARNING: As with any electric appliance, failure to electrically ground unit may result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Installing a Mini 2-1, Mini 2.5-1, Mini 3-1, or Mini
3.5-1 on a 208 V or 220–240 V circuit will destroy the heating element. This is considered improper installation and will void your factory warranty.

1. All electrical work must comply with national and applicable state and local electrical codes.
2. The Mini should be connected to a properly grounded dedicated branch circuit of proper voltage rating. In installa tions with several Mini units, each unit requires an independent circuit. Please refer to the technical data table for the correct wire and circuit breaker size.
3. The open ends of the “pigtail” must be feed into an electrical junction box. Then feed wires through strain relief clamp and tighten clamp down on wire.
4. Reinstall plastic cover.

9. Water heater hand over
Explain the functions of the unit to the user and familiarize him or her with its use.
Important instructions:
» Draw the user’s attention to possible hazards (scalding). » Hand over these instructions for future reference.
» In order to obtain a proper temperature at a single spout
mixer-type faucet, restrict cold water flow to faucet by partially closing the cold water shut-off valve under the sink until cold water and hot water flow rates are approximately the same.
10. Normal maintenance
CAUTION: Other than the filter screen, the Mini does not
!
contain any parts serviceable by the lay person. In case
of malfunction please contact a licensed plumber or electrician.
Stiebel Eltron Mini tankless heaters are designed for a very long service life. Actual life expectancy will vary with water quality and use. The unit itself does not require any regular maintenance. However, to ensure consistent water flow, it is recommended to periodically remove scale and dirt that may build up at the aerator of the faucet or in the shower head. Also, the Mini has a built in filter screen that should be cleaned from time to time. In order to do this, turn off the cold water supply at the isolating valve. Clean screen and put the screen back into its original position.
