ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
5
HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE?
The system controls (compressor, evaporator and fan) will operate
until a water temperature of approximately 60°C is reached. If the
ambient air temperature is outside of the heat pump‟s operating
range, the water temperature is boosted automatically to 60°C by
the electric booster heating unit, if heating is required.
To meet the requirements of the National Plumbing Standard the
temperature of the stored water 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 also be required by regulations that an
approved temperature limiting device be fitted into the hot water
pipe work 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 thermostats controlling the heat pump and the booster heating unit are factory set and not adjustable.
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 with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities i.e. the infirm, or by children. Children should be supervised to ensure they do
not interfere with the water heater.
This water heater uses 240 V AC electrical power for operation of the control systems and the electrically
operated components. The removal of the access cover(s) will expose 240 volt wiring. They must only be
removed by a qualified person.
Do not use
aerosols, stain removers and household chemicals
near the water heater whilst it is
working. Gases from some aerosol sprays, stain removers and household chemicals are corrosive to the
materials used in the heat pump system.
Do not store swimming pool chemicals, household cleaners, etc., near the water heater.
Ensure the air inlet and outlet louvres and air flow are not obstructed in any way at any time.
SAFETY
This water heater is supplied with a thermostat, two over-temperature energy cut-outs and a combination
temperature pressure relief valve. These devices must not be tampered with or removed. The water heater
must not be operated unless each of these devices is fitted and is in working order.
The operation of the over-temperature cut-out on the thermostat indicates a possibly dangerous situation. If
the over-temperature cut-out operates, it must not be reset and the water heater must be serviced by a
qualified person.
If the electrical supply conduit to the water heater is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard. Phone your nearest Solahart Dealer to arrange for an inspection.
Warning:
For continued safety of this water heater it must be installed, operated and maintained in
accordance with the Owner‟s Guide and Installation Instructions.
The Solahart warranty may not cover faults if relief valves or other safety devices are tampered with
or if the installation is not in accordance with these instructions.
