INSTALLATION STANDARDS
The water heater must be installed:
by a qualified person, and
in accordance the installation instructions, and
in compliance with Standards AS/NZS 3500.4, AS 5601 or AS/NZS 5601.1, as applicable under local

WATER HEATER APPLICATION
This water heater is designed for the purpose of heating for potable water or hydronic heating applications. Its use
in an application other than this may shorten its life.
If this water heater is to be used where an uninterrupted hot water supply is necessary for the application or
business, then there should be redundancy within the hot water system design. This should ensure the continuity of
hot water supply in the event that this water heater was to become inoperable for any reason. We recommend you
provide advice to the system owner about their needs and building backup redundancy into the hot water supply
system.
Check the water heater is suitable for the gas type available. The gas type is marked on the side panel near
the gas connection entry and shown on the rating label.
All packaging must be removed from the water heater prior to its installation. The installation kit (including the
pressure relief valve) may be supplied inside the water heater casing. This kit must be removed before the water
heater is operated.

INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT
Check the water heater and associated equipment for any damage. DO NOT INSTALL OR OPERATE ANY
WATER HEATER THAT HAS BEEN DAMAGED. ANY ADDITIONAL DAMAGE OR FAULTS CAUSED BY
UNAUTHORISED START UP MAY NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY.
WATER HEATER LOCATION
This water heater is supplied for outdoor installation only. For indoor installations the correct indoor conversion kit
is required (refer to
“Hood Conversion” on page 16). Whether located outdoor or indoor, the position of the water
heater should be chosen with safety and service in mind. Make sure people (particularly children) will not touch the
flue outlet. The flue terminal must be clear of obstructions and shrubbery.
Clearance must be allowed for servicing of the water heater. The water heater must be accessible without the use
of a ladder or scaffold. Make sure the pressure relief valve lever is accessible and the entire front panel and burner
assembly can be removed for service. Remember you may have to remove the entire water heater later for
servicing.
You must be able to read the information on the rating label.
The water heater must not be installed in an area with a corrosive atmosphere where chemicals are stored or
where aerosol propellants are released. Remember the air may be safe to breathe, but when it goes through a
flame, chemical changes take place which may attack the water heater.
The water heater must be mounted on a level fire proof base such as a concrete slab, concrete plinth, steel plate
etc. Water heaters must NOT be installed on carpeting.
The front of the water heater must not be obstructed by any gas or water piping, electrical conduits, etc.
