Stiebel Eltron DCE-S Plus Compact Instantaneous Water Heater

The Stiebel Eltron DCE‑S Plus Compact Instantaneous Water Heater from Stiebel Eltron is a space‑saving, high‑efficiency electric water heater engineered to deliver reliable hot water directly at the point of use. With electronic closed‑loop control and stepless temperature setting, it is ideal for hand washbasins, utility sinks and shower applications where instant hot water and energy efficiency are priorities. The DCE‑S Plus model combines compact design with robust performance in domestic and light commercial environments.

Available in two output variants, 6 / 8 kW and 10 / 12 kW, this range provides flexibility to match different hot water demands while keeping installation space to a minimum.

Key Features

• Compact instantaneous water heater with electronic closed‑loop control for consistent temperature delivery

• 3i technology for high energy efficiency and performance

• Continuous, stepless temperature adjustment from 20 °C to 60 °C

• Adjustable temperature limit settings at 43 °C, 50 °C or 55 °C for safety

• Exceptionally slimline, compact design for easy installation in tight spaces

• Suitable for both washbasins and showers (depending on model and local regulations)

Heating Performance and Technical Information

The DCE‑S Plus range provides hot water instantly on demand, meaning water is heated only as it flows through the unit, which eliminates storage losses associated with conventional cylinders and improves overall system efficiency. Its electronic closed‑loop control ensures accurate temperature regulation even as inlet conditions vary, supporting consistent delivery between 20 °C and 60 °C.

The 6 / 8 kW variant is particularly well suited to smaller washroom applications or single washbasin outlets. The 10 / 12 kW variant delivers higher output and greater flow capacity, making it capable of supporting larger draw‑off points and light shower use where electrical supply permits.

A simple rotary selector allows quick temperature adjustments, and fixed temperature limit options ensure user safety and compliance with installation requirements. The compact footprint (approximately 372 mm high × 217 mm wide × 109 mm deep) means this unit fits easily into confined spaces.
