Before installation, the regulations of local utility companies and country-specific standards must be observed.
Pipes must be flushed in accordance with applicable standards before installation, and pressure differences between hot and cold water connections must be balanced. For installations with instantaneous water heaters, the manufacturer's instructions for the heater must be followed.
To prevent water damage, seal pipes with acid-free silicone.
In sanitary areas used by children and other vulnerable groups, safety is the highest priority. Adults should assist children or vulnerable persons in protecting against scalding.
Recommended settings for instantaneous water heaters: Maximum 43°C when used by small children or vulnerable persons.
BERNSTEIN recommends checking the sanitary equipment for scald protection and making adjustments or upgrades as needed.
