Wiring Rules AS/NZS 3000 and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements. 
 

 

Warning:

 Temperature controllers 

must not

 be fitted to this water heater (CF26-60 model) if it is installed 

as an in-series gas booster with a solar water heater system, because water at a temperature much higher 
than  the  controller  setting  can  be  delivered.  If  a  solar  water  heater  is  installed  to  an  existing  water  heater 
installation, then all controllers 

must be

 disconnected and removed. 

 
The  water  heater  is  supplied  with  a  1.8 metre  lead  and  plug  and  requires  a  weatherproof  240 V  50 Hz 
general purpose outlet (GPO) to be located within 1.2 metres of the installation. The GPO must be clear of 
the flue exhaust, draining water, gas supply pipe and water connections. 
 
The power consumption of the water heater is:
