The following is information regarding Hot Water Services and corrosion of the
tank in Australia. The single biggest factor is metal/water contact.
1.
Mains Water Connection- For correct performance and warranty of the
unit, when connected to mains water supply, pressure must be limited
to approximately 350 KPA (50 PSI) by the use of a suitable pressure
regulator. Failure to do so will void warranty.
2.
A Suitable 1/2” BSPT fitting must be used for coupling HWS to water
supply.
3.
Water supply is an overall factor.
4.
Tanks should be drained and flushed regularly - how often depends on
soluble/silt content in water. Outback areas will be more of a problem than
major city supplies.
5.
Do not use bore water. This will void your warranty as the salt contents of
bore water are extremely high.
6.
The life of the anodes, which are a low valve replacement part, varies with
water quality. Anodes must be inspected periodically. Use only genuine
Suburban anode rods. Use of other anodes may void the warranty. Please
see Anode Protection Section.
7.
Your water system should be operated periodically even though the van is
not being used, at least twice per week.
8.
Anodes must be checked every 6 (six) months. Please see Anode
Protection Section.
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! It is imperative that the water heater tank be filled with water
before operating the water heater. Operation of the water heater without
water in the tank may result in damage to the tank and/or controls. This
type of damage is not covered by the limited warranty.
WARNING! Hydrogen gas may result if you have not used this heater
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.
To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, open the hot water
faucet for several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical
appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, you
probably will hear an unusual sound such as air escaping through the
pipe as the water begins to flow.
Hydrogen gas may be present even after water has been drained from the
tank. Open faucet at sink and allow system to vent for several minutes
(5-10 minutes).
Do not smoke or have any open flame near the open faucet.
Should overheating occur, shut off the electrical supply.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been submerged under water.
Immediately call an authorised service technician to inspect the appliance
and to replace any part of the control system that has been submerged
under water.
Do not alter the operation of your water heater nor change the design/
construction of your water heater. Accessories are being marketed for
RV products which we do not recommend. For your safety, only factory
authorized parts are to be used on your water heater
Pressure relief valve to be operated at least once every 6 months to
remove lime deposits and verify it is not blocked. Failure to do so may
result in heater exploding. Continuous leakage from valve may indicate
a problem with unit.
NOTE: Always open both the cold and hot water faucets when filling
vehicle water tank to allow air pockets to be forced out of the water
heater. When water flows from the heater faucets, close both faucets.
WARNING! Do not store or use combustible materials or liquids near
or adjacent to this heater. The appliance shall not be installed in any
location where flammable liquids or vapors are likely to be present.
Be sure the power is “OFF” to the water heater during any type of
refueling and while vehicle is in motion or being towed.
WARNING! The thermostat on your water heater is not adjustable. It is
a temperature sensing limit designed to maintain a temperature of 60°C
to comply with AS/NZS 3500 Part 4.2. Water temperatures over 60°C can
cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds; therefore, be careful
when using hot water. Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of
being scalded. Always feel water before bathing or showering. Children
or infirm persons must not adjust or operate any electrical controls on
this unit.
