4 important safety instructions
Kelvinator heat pump hot water system
caution
• Do not use the hot water system for any other purposes
besides heating water for domestic use.
• Do not place items which might be damaged by moisture
around the hot water system or near the drain outlets.
• If a power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an
Electrolux service agent or qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
• Water may drip from underneath the heat pump or from
the heat pump condensation discharge pipe (if installed)
during its heating cycle. Ensure that this water is drained to
a suitable location, away from the footings of a building.
• Water may drip from the discharge pipe of the pressure
relief valve. This pipe must be left open to atmosphere at
all times.
• The pressure-relief device is to be operated regularly to
remove lime deposits and to verify that it is not blocked.
• A discharge pipe connected to the pressure-relief valve is
to be installed in a continuously downward direction and
in a frost-free environment.
• If the heat pump is installed in a location that has the
potential to drop below freezing point, the heat pump
must be installed on continuous power supply only and
the power supply must be connected at all times. The
freeze protection system only works when power is
connected to the heat pump and the warranty may be
void if the heat pump is damaged as a result of freezing
when there was no power available.
Ensure the following safety instructions are read and
understood before using this hot water system.
warning
• Do not use this hot water system if it has at any stage
been immersed in water. Immediately call a licensed
plumber, gas fitter or authorised technician to inspect
and/or service the system.
• In order to avoid electric shock, fire or injury, if any
abnormality is detected, such as the smell of smoke
coming from the hot water system, isolate the power at
the main switchboard then contact your local Electrolux
Customer Care Centre.
• Do not insert fingers, rods or other objects into the air
inlet or outlet of the heat pump. If the fan is rotating, it
may cause personal injury or damage.
• Do not remove any guards or panels on the heat pump.
It may cause a safety hazard or allow the unit to be
damaged.
• Do not touch the heat exchanger fins. These fins are sharp
and could result in cutting injuries.
• Never use a flammable spray such as hair spray, lacquer
or paint near the hot water system as it may cause a fire.
• If the heat pump has been installed on a stand or wall
brackets, periodically check the stand, brackets and
fittings. If damaged or loose, the heat pump may fall and
result in injury.
• The operation of the thermal cut out (located on the
storage tank thermostat) indicates a possibly dangerous
situation. Do not reset the thermal cut out until the water
heater has been serviced by a qualified person.
• If power to the hot water system has been turned off
for an extended period of time e.g. holidays, prolonged
blackout or maintenance, it is recommended that the
auxiliary heating boost function be activated once
power is available. This will ensure that the hot water
is sufficiently sanitised for household usage.
