To access the filter screen in any DHC-E/DHX model, always
shut off power to the unit at the circuit breakers and water at
the unit's isolation valves prior to removing the filter screen.
Then remove the cold water connection and pull the filter
screen down and out of the unit. Clean and replace the filter
screen, or install a new one, into its original position. Never
run the unit without the filter screen in place.
To access the filter screen in a Tempra
off power to the unit at the circuit breakers and water at the
unit's isolation valves prior to removing the filter screen.
Then remove the cold water inlet connection (right-hand side

The amount of heat put into the water is controlled elec-
tronically in Tempra
®
and DHC-E models. Using the knob
on the front cover, set the output water temperature to any
temperature between 86 °F (30 °C) and 140 °F (60 °C). For
most applications we recommend setting only to the highest
temperature for normal use, typically 108°F (42°C) to 116°F
(47°C) for a shower. This lower setting will increase the life
of the unit.
The outlet temperature of a Tempra
DHC-E 12 model can be limited to 109 °F (43 °C). Consult your
installer if your unit has been set to this limit and you require
a higher temperature.
The outlet temperature of a DHC-E Trend or DHC-E Plus can
be limited to several selectable internal values. Consult your
installer if your unit has been set to a limit and you require a
higher temperature.
If the "Power"
is flashing on a DHC-E 8/10, DHC-E 12,
led
DHC-E Trend, or Tempra
Trend unit while it is operating, the
®
water flow rate exceeds the heating capacity of the unit. Re-
ducing the flow of hot water or setting a lower temperature
will let the unit achieve the set point temperature.
