indicated by aligning the arrow on the adjustment
knob with the arrow on the cover. Turn the
adjustment knob towards the wider red band to set
hotter, towards the blue band to set cooler.

`
In hard water areas it is advised that the maximum
temperature is restricted to prevent build up of
scale.

Temperatures above 55

C can scald so
consideration should be given to blending at the
point of use to a safe user temperature.
`
To avoid risk of freezing when the heater is not
in use for long periods during the winter months,
do not switch off the electrical supply and set the
thermostat to its minimum position. N.B. This will
not protect other system pipework.

7.4 Benchmark
The appliance is covered by the Benchmark Scheme
which aims to improve the standards of installation
and commissioning of domestic heating and hot water
systems in the UK and to encourage regular servicing
to optimise safety, efficiency and performance.
Benchmark is managed and promoted by the Heating
and Hotwater Industry Council. For more information
visit www.centralheating.co.uk.
Please ensure that the installer has fully completed the
Benchmark Checklist (see page 34) of this manual and
that you have signed it to say that you have received a
full and clear explanation of its operation. The installer is
legally required to complete a commissioning checklist
as a means of complying with the appropriate Building
Regulations (England & Wales).
All installations must be notified to Local Area Building
Control either directly or through a Competent Persons
Scheme. A Building Regulations Compliance Certificate
will then be issued to the customer who should, on
receipt, write the Notification Number on the Benchmark
Checklist.
This product should be serviced regularly to optimise
its safety, efficiency and performance. The service
engineer should complete the relevant Service Record
on the Benchmark Checklist after each service. The
Benchmark Checklist may be required in the event of
any warranty work.
