PRECAUTIONS
Where damage to property can occur in the event of the water heater leaking,
the water heater must be installed in a safe tray. Construction, installation and
draining of a safe tray must comply with AS/NZS 3500.4 and all local codes
and regulatory authority requirements.
The wa
ter heater must be maintained in accordance with the Owner’s Guide
and Installation Instructions. Refer to
“Regular Care”
on page 9.
If this water heater is to be used where an uninterrupted hot water supply is
necessary for your application or business you should ensure that you have
back up redundancy within the hot water system design. This should ensure
the continuity of hot water supply in the event that this water heater were to
become inoperable for any reason. We recommend you seek advice from your
plumber or specifier about your needs and building back up redundancy into
your hot water supply system.
THERMOSTAT
The thermostat automatically controls the electricity supply to the heating unit
so a constant temperature is maintained. The thermostat and its protective
over-temperature cut-out is mounted inside the front cover of the water heater.
There is no need to switch the water heater off when it is not in use, except
when you are on an extended holiday. The thermostat is fully automatic and
power is only used when heating is required.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
This water heater features a tradesperson adjustable thermostat. This requires
a licensed tradesperson to make any temperature adjustments. The thermostat
has a maximum temperature setting of 75°C and a minimum temperature
setting of 60°C.
We advise you have your electrician adjust the thermostat to the lowest
temperature setting that meets your needs, especially if there are young
children or elderly people in your home. Refer to
“Hotter Water Increases The
Risk of Scald Injury”
on page 5.
