5.0 EXPLANATION TO USER

Following Installation and Commissioning of the water heater, the operation 

should be fully explained to the user.

5.1 HOT WATER
5.1.1  Indicate the location of the water heater and identify the outlets to which 

it is connected.

5.1.2  Explain that the temperature is set upon installation and confirm the 

temperature which the water is set at.

5.2 SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
5.2.1  Explain how to isolate electrical and water supplies in case of a fault.

5.2.2   Explain that a qualified plumber and/or electrician should be contacted         

if there is a fault.

5.2.3  Explain how to identify/check basic faults (Section 7.0).

5.3 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
5.3.1  Explain the necessity to carry out regular maintenance of the water 

heater to ensure its continued safe and efficient operation.

5.4 LITERATURE
5.4.1  Hand over the Installation and user instructions.

5.5  IMPORTANT NOTES TO USER
5.5.1   This  unvented  heater  stores  water  at  the  temperature  set  on  the 

adjustable  thermostat. This  can  be  set  to  give  temperatures  in  the 

range of 12 to 72°C. To avoid any 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.

5.5.2  The indicator light will only be illuminated when the unit is heating.

5.5.3  Do not block or restrict the discharge from any safety valve fitted. 
5.5.4  Do not tamper with any safety valve fitted. 
5.5.5  If water discharges from any safety valve fitted, switch off the electrical 

supply to the unit immediately. Do not turn the electrical supply on again 

until the unit has been checked and approved by a qualified installer.
