the water temperature has reached 60 °C (140 °F)
for 4 hours and then let the hot water run for a
few minutes before using it.

How the protection mechanism works
As a protective measure, the controller is designed
to restart the water heater if the water temperature
drops below 45°C (113°F) , even if the controller is
not connected to a gateway.
If the temperature sensor is not installed, the protection
will no longer apply and the water heater can then
remain off for a longer period.
It is possible to deactivate the protection in the Neviweb
app.
