Possible Causes

Long pipe runs without recirculation, Low DHW flow rate, Partially blocked plate heat exchanger, Incorrect preheat or comfort mode settings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Adjust only user-accessible settings unless you are trained on the appliance.

  • Check comfort mode: On models with a preheat function, ensure the DHW comfort or preheat mode is enabled if quick hot water is desired.
  • Increase flow: Open taps fully to increase flow and reduce delay.
  • Insulate pipes: Insulate hot water pipes to maintain temperature between draws.
  • Descale plate exchanger: If temperature ramps up slowly, clean the plate heat exchanger to improve transfer.
