All Models

Stiebel Eltron tankless water heaters are designed for a very

long service life. Actual life expectancy will vary with water

quality and use. The units do not require any regular mainte-

nance, except to periodically remove scale and dirt that may

build up in the ﬁlter screen in the unit, or at the hot water

outlets served by the unit, such as the aerator of a faucet, or

in a shower head. This will ensure consistent water ﬂow.

In areas with hard water that produces scale, descaling of

the entire unit may be required, and should be performed

as often as necessary. We recommend the Flow-Aide System

(Stiebel Eltron part # 540000) for this procedure. In these

areas, consideration should also be given to installing a ﬁlter

that will prevent scale buildup on the cold water supply to

the water heater. We recommend the House Pure

WI-HP-

SECURE-.75 (Stiebel Eltron part # 581331) for this.

CLEANING: Use a damp cloth to clean of the unit’s housing.

Do not use any abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents.
