5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Initial Startup
- Ensure the gas supply valve to the appliance is open.
- Ensure the water supply valves are open.
- Turn the control knob on the front panel to the desired power setting (e.g., 'Low', 'Medium', or 'High').
- Open a hot water tap. The water heater will automatically ignite and begin heating water. The digital display will show the current water temperature.
5.2 Adjusting Water Temperature
The Junkers HYDRONEXT 2400 S WD11-B does not automatically modulate its heating power based on water flow. To adjust the hot water temperature, you must manually change the power setting using the control knob on the appliance:
- Lower Temperature: Turn the control knob towards the 'Low' setting. This reduces the heating power.
- Higher Temperature: Turn the control knob towards the 'High' setting. This increases the heating power.
Important Note: The actual water temperature will depend on both the selected power setting and the flow rate of water through the appliance. At higher power settings and lower flow rates, the water temperature can become extremely hot. Always exercise caution and test the water temperature before use.
5.3 Shutting Down the Appliance
- To temporarily stop hot water production, simply close all hot water taps. The appliance will enter standby mode.
- For extended periods of non-use or maintenance, turn the control knob to the 'Off' position, close the gas supply valve, and if necessary, close the main water supply valve to the appliance.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the safe and efficient operation of your water heater. All maintenance involving internal components or gas connections must be performed by a qualified technician.
6.1 User Maintenance
- Exterior Cleaning: Clean the exterior casing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Visual Inspection: Periodically check for any visible signs of damage, leaks, or unusual odors.
6.2 Professional Maintenance
- It is recommended to have the water heater inspected and serviced by a qualified technician at least once a year.
- Professional maintenance typically includes checking gas connections, combustion efficiency, flue system integrity, and cleaning internal components.
7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your water heater, refer to the following common problems and solutions. For complex issues or if you are unsure, contact a qualified technician.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No hot water / Appliance not igniting | Gas supply off, water supply off, low water pressure, ignition failure. | Check gas and water supply valves. Ensure adequate water pressure. If problem persists, contact technician. |
| Water too hot (scalding risk) | Power setting too high for current water flow, appliance not modulating. | Reduce the power setting using the control knob. Increase water flow at the tap if possible. Always test water temperature before use. |
| Error Code E1 displayed | Excessive heat in the combustion chamber, often due to very low water flow at a high power setting. | Close the hot water tap, wait a few moments, then reopen with sufficient flow. If the error persists, reduce the power setting or contact a technician. |
| Unusual noises or odors | Internal component issue, gas leak. | Immediately shut off gas supply and contact a qualified technician. Do not attempt to operate the appliance. |
