How Long Will The Heater Run
Each Day?
The length of time that the heater will run
each day will vary dependent upon the
amount of hot water being used by the
household.
Caution:
All water heaters have
the ability to produce hot water in a
surprisingly short time. To reduce the
risk of scald injury, it is mandatory
under the requirements of Australian
Standards AS3500 that an Australian
Standards approved temperature
control valve be fitted to the hot water
supply pipe work. This valve should be
checked at regular intervals to ensure its
operation and settings remain correct.
What Should I Do During Holidays?
If the hot water system is not used,
for two weeks or more, a quantity
of hydrogen gas, which is highly
flammable, may accumulate in the water
heater. To dissipate this gas safely, it is
recommended that a hot tap be turned
on for several minutes at a sink, basin
or bath but not a dishwasher, clothes
washer, or other appliance. During this
procedure there must be no smoking,
open flame or any other electrical
appliance operating nearby. If hydrogen
is discharged through the tap, it will
probably make an unusual noise similar
to air escaping.
Important: there are no user
serviceable components in the
system. Only an authorised service
representative is permitted to
remove any covers or make setting
adjustments.
