4. General
!
DANGER: Burns
Water temperatures over 125°F (52 °C) can cause
severe burns instantly or death from scalding. A hot
water scalding potential exists if the thermostat on the
appliance is set too high. Households with small
children, disabled or elderly persons may require that
the thermostat be set at 113°F (45 °C) or lower to
prevent possible injury from hot water.
The Tempra B and Tempra Plus units are designed to supply hot
water for a house, apartment or certain commercial applications.
Unlike a conventional storage type water heater the Tempra tank-
less water heater does not store hot water. Instead, water is heated
instantaneously as it fl ows through the unit. The Tempra offers
greater energy effi ciency than storage type water heaters due to
the absence of stand-by losses and reduced hot water pipe runs.
The input of heat into the water is controlled electronically. The
Tempra will deliver any water temperature between 86 °F (30 °C)
and 140 °F (60 °C). Please set the desired temperature using the
knob on the front cover. The Tempra Plus Temperature adjustment
knob can be set to: OFF, 86...140 °F (30...60 °C).
The Tempra B has a °F and a °C scale. The output temperature of
the Tempra Plus is shown in the digital display in °F or °C units.
(°F or °C units can be selected during installation, factory setting:
°F). The maximum temperature is electronically limited to 140 °F
(60 °C).
4 | TEMPRA & TEMPRA PLUS WWW.STIEBEL-ELTRON-USA.COM
For reasons of appliance effi ciency and durability (scaling), the
optimum temperature setting lies between 86 °F (30 °C) and
120 °F (50 °C).
The outlet temperature of the Tempra Plus can be limited (see
"Initial settings").

5. The cold water connection (inlet) is on the right side of the
unit, and the hot water connection (outlet) is on the left side
of the unit.
!
NOTICE: Tankless water heaters such as the TEMPRA
are not required to be equipped with a pressure and
temperature relief valve (P&T). If the local inspector
will not pass the installation without a P&T, it should
be installed on the hot water outlet side of the unit.
6. The Tempra on the hot side is designed for connection to
copper
tubing, PEX tubing or a braided stainless steel hose with a
3/4" NPT female tapered thread.
The plumbing on the cold water inlet side needs to be such
that
it can easily be removed to allow access to the inlet fi lter
screen.
The easiest way to achieve this is to us a stainless steel
braided hose connector.
If soldering near the unit is necessary, please direct the
fl ame away from the housing of the unit in order to avoid
damage.
7. When all plumbing work is completed, check for leaks and
take corrective action before proceeding.
8. Electrical connection
!
WARNING: Before beginning any work on the electric
installation, be sure that main breaker panel switch-
es are "off" to avoid any danger of electric shock. All
mounting and plumbing must be completed before
proceeding with electrical hook-up. Where required
by local, state or national electrical codes the circuits
should be equipped with a "ground fault interrupter".
The unit must be properly grounded in accordance
with state and local codes, or in absence of such
codes, in accordance with national electric code or the
Canadian electric code. Failure to electrically ground
the product could result in serious personal injury or
death.
The Tempra should be connected to properly grounded dedicated
branch circuits of proper voltage rating. Ground must be brought
to the "Ground" at the circuit breaker panel.

INSTALLATION
INITIAL SETTINGS
8.3 Terminal block
We recommend using stranded wire to connect to the terminal
block. Crimp a ferrule over stranded bare wire to ensure a good
connection.
Consult the chart below for the recommended torque amounts on
the terminal block screws.
Screw Diameter (mm) Torque (N•cm) Torque (lbf•in)
2.8 30-40 2.65-3.54
2.8-3 35-50 3.09-4.42
3-3.2 50-60 4.42-5.31
3.2-3.6 60-80 5.31-7.08
3.6-4.1 90-120 7.96-10.62
4.1-4.7 120-180 10.62-15.93
4.7-5.3 150-200 13.27-17.7
Using the proper torque specifi cations to secure wire to the wiring
block helps to avoid personal loss or property damage.
See 13, “Technical Data”, pg. 9 for information on the proper
wire gauge size.
9. Initial settings
Check whether the set value transducer cable is plugged into the
slot T
Soll
A1 (Tempra B) or T
Soll

10. Commissioning the water heater
!
WARNING: Open hot water faucet for a few minutes
until water fl ow is continuous and all air is purged
from water pipes. The unit’s cover must be installed
before the circuit breakers are turned on.
1. Close the cover and fi x it using the screw with the lock
washer.
2. Turn on circuit breakers to bring electrical power to the unit.
3. Turn the temperature selector clockwise and anti-clockwise,
to calibrate the set value transducer.
4. Adjust the water temperature to the desired level using the
knob on the front cover of the unit.
5. Turn on hot water and wait twenty seconds until temperature
has stabilized.
6. Check the water temperature with your hand and make sure
that it does not feel too hot. Reduce if necessary.
7. Explain to the user how the unit works and familiarize him
or her with its use.
Advise the user about possible hazards (hot water tempera-
ture up to 140 °F / 60 °C). Hand over these instructions, to be
kept for future reference.
11. Normal maintenance
!
NOTICE: The Tempra does not contain any parts ser-
viceable by the average user. In case of malfunction
please contact a licensed plumber or electrician.
Stiebel Eltron Tempra tankless water heaters are designed for a
very long service life. Actual life expectancy will vary with water
quality and use. The unit itself does not require any regular main-
tenance. However, to ensure consistent water fl ow, it is recom-
mended to periodically remove scale and dirt that may build up
at the aerator of the faucet(s), the fi lter screen in the unit, or in
the shower head.
