I have one and on it it says " Minimum water level here
[hr]
" Which is near the top. So the answer to your question is not only can the submerse but they MUST be submersed.

Okay, the story I got on this goes like so:
Long ago, when EBO made Jagers, they were labeled as submersible, were certified by both UL and CSA as such, and a "MINIMUM" water level was printed on the case.
When Eheim aquired EBO, they had to go through the certification process all over for CSA (Canadian) and UL (US) testing labratories. Apparently the Jagers have passed US standard for submersion but not Canadian... or vice versa... yet due to delays and because they sell the same heater in both countries, they labeled them as not fully submersible with a "MAXIMUM" water level marking so they wouldn't have to worry about different units and the logistics of selling certain models in certain countries.
Apparently the manufacturer will tell you verbally that it's cool to dunk them, but can't say so in writing or on their web site due to liabilities surrounding the certification process.
Marine Depot told me they could be submersed
Foster and Smith told me they could be submersed
A user here told me they spoke directly with the manufacturer and they could be submersed
I have 5 total Eheim Jagers these days. All are submersed, and none have experienced any problems.
Dunk em dude.

Just got a new Jager last week, model 3606, 150W to replace an older one that I was just not comfortable with.
The box is marked "submersible" and it has a minimum water line on the upper body. There is no mention of not submersing it fully, but I have and my GFI hasn't complained yet!
