ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
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.
MODEL TYPE
Congratulations for choosing a Raypak
®
water heater. The model you have chosen is suitable for either indoor or
outdoor installation depending on use of the appropriate installation kit.
The operation of the water heater depends on the application. Typically for hot water applications a water heater
with
„on/off‟ operation will be installed. For mechanical heating or process applications a water heater with „Hi/Lo‟
operation will be installed.
HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE?
The water heater features an adjustable thermostat, which
allows the most suitable temperature for the application to be
chosen.
To meet the requirements of the National Plumbing Standard
the temperature of the stored water for hot water applications
must not be below 60°C.
HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY
This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can
cause scalding. Check the water temperature before use, such
as when entering a shower or filling a bath or basin, to ensure it
is suitable for the application and will not cause scald injury.
We recommend and it may be required by regulations that an
approved temperature limiting device be fitted into the hot water
piping to the bathroom and ensuite when this water heater is
installed. This will keep the water temperature below 50 C at the
bathroom and ensuite. The risk of scald injury will be reduced
and still allow hotter water to the kitchen and laundry.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
The thermostat temperature will have been set by the installer to suit the application, adjustment should not be
required. Consult your installer before making any adjustment to the thermostat temperature.
WARNING
This water heater is only intended to be operated by persons who have the experience or the knowledge and the
capabilities to do so. This water heater is not intended to be operated by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not interfere with the water heater.
The water heater uses 240 Volt AC electrical power for operation of the control systems. The removal of the access
cover(s) will expose 240 Volt wiring. They must only be removed by an authorised or qualified person.
