3. Safety
This chapter provides an overview of all important actions required
for a safe and trouble-free operation.
3.1 General safety instructions
Operate the water heater only when fully installed and with all
safety equipment in place.
Unsuitable tools or incorrect handling can result in damage to
the water heater.
DANGER Scalding
The water is heated inside the water tank to60 °C
(140 °F). There is a risk of scalding at outlet
temperatures above 43 °C (109 °F).
» Ensure that outflowing water does not directly
contact your body.
CAUTION Injury
Where children or persons with limited physical,
sensory or mental capabilities are allowed to control
this water heater, ensure that this will only happen
under supervision or after appropriate instruction by
a person responsible for their safety.
» Children should be supervised to ensure that they
never play with the water heater.
Never place any objects on top of the water heater.
Objects placed on top of the water heater can increase
the noise level developed by the water heater through
vibrations.
Never cover the water heater.
The water heater draws in air. Covering the inlet slots
reduces the air intake. This reduces the efficiency of
the water heater and can even lead to one of the safety
devices interrupting the water heater operation.

OPERATION
WATER HEATER DESCRIPTION
ENGLISH
WWW.STIEBEL-ELTRON-USA.COM ACCELERA® 300 HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER | 11
4. Water heater description
This water heater is an automatic hot water generator with approx.
303 l (80gallon) capacity. The hot water temperature is factory
set to 60 °C (140 °F).
After opening a hot water faucet, the hot water is pushed out of
the water heater by the incoming cold water.
This water heater works like an air conditioner but does not need
to be vented. The water heater extracts heat from the ambient air
to heat the water. The demand for electrical energy and the heatup time depend on the ambient air temperature and humidity.
When installing the water heater inside, the space where it is
installed will be cooled down during the operation by 1 to 3 °C
(2 to 6 °F).
The water heater also extracts moisture from the air that creates
condensate, which must be drained off. For this purpose, a
condensate drain is integrated in the water heater. This is where
you can connect a hose to a drain.
To protect the steel tank against corrosion, the interior is coated
with a special enamel and is equipped with a replaceable sacrificial
anode.
Heat pump function:
A sealed circuit inside the water heater contains R134A refrigerant
(see "Specification/data table"); this does not deplete ozone, is
non-flammable, and evaporates at low temperatures.
In the evaporator, where heat is extracted from the outside air,
the refrigerant changes from its liquid into its gaseous state. A
compressor draws in the gas in and compresses it. The increase
in pressure raises the refrigerant temperature and heats the water
tank.
This process requires electrical energy. The energy (motor heat)
is not lost, but reaches the condenser downstream together with
the compressed refrigerant. Here, the gas transfers heat to the
water tank. An expansion valve then reduces the pressure and
the process starts again.
4.1 Function description
4.1.1 Heat pump operation
The heat pump unit located on top of the water heater extracts
heating energy from the ambient air.
If the water heater was separated from the power
supply during operation, the compressor will only
restart if the pressure inside the refrigerant circuit has been
balanced. Pressure balance can only be created after waiting
15 minutes.
4.1.2 Booster heater
Primarily, the water inside the tank is heated by the heat pump.
When there is a higher hot water demand or when the water heater
was switched OFF and you require hot water quickly, the integral
booster heater will turn on. To save energy, the booster heater
only heats the top third of the tank (approx. 102 l (27 gallons)).
A thermostat switches the booster heater on if the water
temperature inside the tank falls below 45 °C (112 °F). A thermostat
switches the booster heater off if the water temperature inside the
tank exceeds 60 °C (140 °F).
4.1.3 Defrosting
The lower limit of use of the water heater is permanently set to
6 °C (42 °F). It is possible that at this limit, the evaporator will be
coated in frost. This is subject to the air temperature and humidity
level, particularly at low hot water temperatures.
The compressor will be switched off as soon as the evaporation
temperature falls below -7 °C (20 °F) for any length of time. When
the temperature at the evaporator fins rises above 3 °C (38°F), the
compressor starts again, and the hot water heating continues. The
fan continues to run during defrosting.
5. Operation
You do not have to make any adjustments. The water heater
is therefore not equipped with any controls. The hot water
temperature is factory set to 60 °C (140 °F).
Should you wish to operate with different settings, contact your
local licensed installer.
WARNING Scalding
The water is heated inside the water tank to
60 °C (140 °F). There is a risk of scalding at outlet
temperatures in excess of 42 °C (108 °F).
Ensure that outflowing water does not directly contact
your body.
5.1 Initial start-up by a licensed installer
Initial start-up should be done by a licensed installer.
5.2 Starting and stopping
The water heater is not equipped with an ON/OFF switch. If a
power plug was fitted during installation, you can disconnect
the water heater from the power supply by pulling that plug.
Alternatively, you can terminate the water heater operation by
tripping the circuit breaker.
5.3 Emergency stop
In case of emergency, carry out the following steps:
» Isolate the power supply by tripping the circuit breaker or by
pulling the power plug.
» Shut off the cold water inlet.
6. Maintenance and care
A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the exterior of the water
heater. Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents. Do not
hose down the water heater.
» Monthly, check that the condensate drain is clear.
» Monthly, carry out a visual inspection of the condensate
pan drain (in the top of the water heater; see the following
diagram). Look through the air intake grille at the front of the
water heater. If required, notify your local licensed installer
who will remove any contamination.

1 Condensate pan drain
6.1 Descaling
At high temperatures water separates out lime. This is deposited
on the inside of the tank. With increasing limescale build-up, the
amount of hot water inside the tank is reduced.
» Have a licensed installer descale the booster heater from
time to time. This extends the service life of the booster
heater.
» Scale cannot build up on the heat pump element.
A licensed installer who knows the local water quality will tell you
when the next maintenance appointment is due.
» Have your licensed installer check the sacrificial anode
regularly.
7. What to do if ...
7.1 ... the water heater does not deliver hot
water
» Check the water heater power supply.
» Check your fuse box for a tripped circuit breaker.
» Make sure there is a 15A double pole circuit breaker
If the circuit breaker has tripped, reset it or replace it. Notify your
local licensed installer if the circuit breaker trips again.
» Ensure that the air intake and air discharge are unobstructed.
Excessively high ambient temperature, excessively high
temperature of the air drawn in (>42 °C (108 °F)) or a fault in the
refrigerant circuit can result in the compressor being overloaded.
The thermal protective 'auto reset' motor switch or the high limit
'manual reset' cut-out can both shut off the compressor off.
The high limit pressure limiter must only be reset by
your licensed installer after they have removed the
cause of the relevant fault.
After a short cooling down period, the thermal protective motor
auto reset switch will restart the compressor automatically.
Notify your local licensed installer if the water heater does not
restart automatically.
7.2 ... the safety valve of the cold water supply
line is dripping
This unit can operate up to 0.48 MPa (70psi) of inlet pressure.
Expansion water drips from the safety valve during heat-up. This
is completely normal. Notify your local licensed installer if water
still drips after heat-up has been completed.
7.3 ... the condensate drain drips
This is quite normal and always happens when the surface
temperature of the evaporator is lower than the dew point
temperature of the ambient air.
7.4 ... the power consumption is too high
Please consult a qualified licensed installer.
7.5 ... the room temperature drops excessively
The water heater operation reduces the ambient air by
1 to 3 °C (2 to 6°F). Notify your local licensed installer if the
ambient temperature drops abnormally.
7.6 ... other faults occur
Notify your local licensed installer. Refer to the water heater
number on the type plate next to the barcode.

14. Troubleshooting
WARNING Electric shock
Always disconnect the power supply before working
on the water heater.
14.1 Safety equipment of the water heater
If faults develop, the safety cutouts on the water heater will
interrupt the appropriate power circuits.
14.1.1 High limit safety cut-out for booster heater
The high limit safety cut-out protects the water heater against
overheating. The booster heater is switched off when the
temperature of the water inside the tank exceeds 95 °C (203 °F).
After removing the source of the fault, press the reset button on
the high limit safety cut-out. To do this, first remove the water
heater cover. See below.

INSTALLATION
MAINTENANCE
AND CLEANING
The safety high pressure limiter shuts down the compressor if
the pressure inside the refrigerant circuit exceeds the permissible
maximum value. The safety high pressure limiter may also trip if
the water heater is operated above its permissible limit, i.e. above
an air temperature of 42 °C (107 °F). (See above)
The safety pressure limiter also trips if the heat pump thermostat
fails.
» After the cause of the fault has been removed, reset the
safety pressure limiter by pressing the reset button.
14.1.3 Protective motor switch - klixon
The protective motor switch will shut down the compressor if it is
overloaded because of excessive thermal load. Remove the cause.
After a short cool-down phase, the protective motor switch will
restart the compressor automatically.
14.2 Troubleshooting
14.2.1 Excessive power consumption
» Lower the temperature of the booster heater.
14.2.2 The room temperature falls excessively
One possible cause is an inadequate air flow over the evaporator.
» Check the fan.
» Check for clogged evaporator.
» Ensure that the intake and discharge flow are not restricted.
15. Maintenance and cleaning
Only qualified licensed installers must carry out maintenance work
in accordance with these instructions.
WARNING Electric shock
Maintenance work, such as checking the electrical
safety, must only be carried out by an electrician.
Always disconnect the power supply before working
on the water heater.
15.1 Cleaning the evaporator
WARNING Injury
The evaporator has many sharp-edged fins. When
cleaning the evaporator, proceed with caution and
wear protective clothing, in particular safety gloves.
Maintaining the full output of the water heater at all times requires
an occasional professional cleaning of the evaporator.
» Undo the screws that connect the water heater cover and
remove.
» Carefully clean the evaporator fins. Only use water and a soft
brush. Never use acidic or alkaline cleaning agents.
15.2 Draining the tank
WARNING Scalding
Hot water can be expelled when draining the tank.
» Close the shut-off valve in the cold water line.
» Fully open the hot faucets at all points.
The tank is drained via the cold water supply. Some residual water
will remain in the bottom of the tank.
» Open the drain valve (see chapter 10.7, "Water connection").
If a drain valve was not installed, undo the fitting on the cold water
supply of the water heater.
15.3 Sacrificial anode rod
A sacrificial anode rod is inserted in the top of the water heater.
The sacrificial anode rod fitted at the factory is approx. 1260 mm
(50") long.
The timing of the anode inspection is subject to the local water
quality and is determined by your local licensed installer. We
recommend that the anode is checked no later than 12months
after initial start-up.
CAUTION :
Risk of electric shock
Use copper conductors only

1 Low pressure fill port
2 High pressure fill port
3 Booster heater flange
» Unscrew the booster heater flange and remove element.
» Immerse scaled sections of the heater element into a
descaling liquid (for example citric acid), until the limescale
has dissolved.
» Flush the descaling liquid (white vinegar is another example)
off and allow the immersion heater element to dry.
15.5 Checking valves
15.5.1 Safety valve (on-site provision)
For reasons of safety, it is necessary to check the T&P valve for
proper function from time to time.
» Crack open the safety valve until a full jet of water is
discharged.
» Close the safety valve when the check is complete.
How quickly limescale builds up depends on the local water quality
and the hot water temperature. As your local licensed installers
are familiar with your local water quality, let them determine the
timing of the next service.
15.5.2 Pressure reducing valve (on-site provision)
» Check the on site pressure relief valve for function. If
required, replace the valve.
15.5.3 Checking refrigerant levels
» When checking refrigerant levels at fill ports be sure to use
new crush washers (supplied with unit).
