2.2 Intended use
Vaillant electronicVED plus electric instantaneous water heaters have been constructed using state-of-the-art technology in accordance with the recognised safety rules and regulations. Nevertheless, there is still a risk of death or serious injury to the user or others or of dam­age to the unit and other property in the event of improper use or use for which the unit is not intended. This unit is not designed to be used by persons (includ­ing children) with limited physical, mental or sensory capabilities or by persons who do not have enough expe­rience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who is responsible for their safety or have been instructed by him/her about how to use the unit. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the unit. Vaillant electronicVED plus electric instantaneous water heaters must only be used to heat up drinking water. Vaillant electronicVED plus electric instantaneous water heaters are suitable for use only in an enclosed, frost­free room in a domestic environment. Vaillant electron­icVED plus electric instantaneous water heaters are not suitable for use in secondary returns. Any other use that is not specified in these instructions, or use beyond that specified in this document shall be considered improper use. Any direct commercial or industrial use is also deemed to be improper. The manu-

2.3 General safety information
Installation, start-up, maintenance and repair
All work involved in the installation, initial start-up, main­tenance and repair of the electronicVED plus electric instantaneous water heater must only be carried out by an approved heating specialist company, who also assumes the responsibility for installing the unit prop­erly and commissioning it for the first time. The electronicVED plus electric instantaneous water heater must be installed in strict compliance with these installa­tion instructions.
Risk of death from electric shock from live lines and connections!
During all work on the open unit, particularly on electri­cal lines and connections, there is a risk of death from electric shock.
> Do not carry out any work on the unit yourself. > Inform your heating specialist company if your
electronicVED plus is not working correctly.
Risk of death from electric shock from live lines and connections!
The drinking water used must demonstrate resistance greater than or equal to 900 ohm at 15 °C. Otherwise the unit must not be used.
> Before installing the unit, ask the competent person
at your local water company to inform you about the water resistance and conductivity.
> Consult your competent person if you have any doubt
as to the requirements for water quality.
Risk of being scalded by hot water!
The outlet temperatures at the draw-off points can be up to 60 °C.
> When using an electronicVED plus electric instantane-
ous water heater, be aware of the risk of scalding from high outlet temperatures.
> Set your electronicVED plus to a maximum of 43 °C if
you want to be protected from scalding.
a
Material damage inside the unit caused by poor quality water
An electronicVED plus electric instantaneous water heater must only be used to heat up drinking water. This drinking water must meet the specific German or Aus­trian legal requirements for quality. Otherwise, it is not possible to rule out the risk of corrosion inside the unit.
> Consult a competent person if you have any doubt as
to the requirements for water quality.
Risk of frost.
If an electronicVED plus electric instantaneous water heater is placed out of operation for a relatively long period of time in an unheated room in cold weather, the water in the unit and pipes may freeze.
> Consult a competent person if you have any doubt as
to requirements.
> Ensure that your electronicVED plus electric instanta-
neous water heater is installed in a permanently frost­free room.
Material damage to the appliance caused by changes
No changes must be made to your electronicVED plus.

In the event of a fault
> If your electronicVED plus is not producing hot water
or if any other fault occurs, inform your approved heating specialist company.
> If the electronicVED plus ever malfunctions, inform
your approved heating specialist company. > Do not carry out any repairs yourself. > Do not open the unit cover under any circumstances.

The current performance features of the electronicVED plus are displayed as soon as the unit is connected and configured. When in operation, the display shows the selected water temperature. Furthermore, the maximum water temperature that can be set will be displayed on the uppermost display line. This maximum temperature can be set freely and can be between 30 °C and 60 °C. The following display is an example of this.

The electronicVED plus display can be, but
does not have to be, set up before checking the function. It is sensible to first only set the desired hot water temperature.
