5 Thermal disinfection
When using KBR..-3A appliances with DHW tank it may be necessary to disinfect the
DHW tank and DHW system after long idle periods to prevent bacterial
contamination, for example from Legionella bacteria. This step is typically not
necessary if the potable water is chlorinated or ozonated.
Thermal disinfection can also be carried out automatically and on a regular basis; see
operating instructions for the heating control included in the scope of delivery.
Thermal disinfection covers the DHW system including the taps. For solar DHW
tanks, the solar portion of the tank is not covered.
