Installation Instructions
Install the gas, cold water and hot water piping through
the slots located at the bottom or back of the recess box
in accordance with AS 5601 and AS 3500. If an outlet or
isolating switch is to be installed inside the recess box to
supply power to the water heater, an electrician should also
install the electrical cable through the slots on the recess box
at this time.
Installing Kelvinator InstaKnight gas continuous flow
water heater in the recess box
1. Copy the details of the Kelvinator InstaKnight gas
continuous flow water heater from the rating label located
on the right hand side of the water heater to the inside of
the recess box cover. This information may be required
for warranty or service and the model number, serial
number and gas type in particular are important.
2. Mount the Kelvinator InstaKnight gas continuous flow
water heater inside the recess box by aligning the
brackets on both the water heater and the recess box
and fixing it in place with the screws provided on the
mounting brackets.
3. This recess box is provided with a locking bracket security
feature. Slide the locking bracket over the top mounting
screw and secure with a padlock (padlock not supplied,
requires bolt
ø6mm
or less).
4. Connect the gas, cold water and hot water piping to the
Kelvinator InstaKnight gas continuous flow water heater
(refer to the installation manual supplied with the water
heater for instructions).
5. A weatherproof electrical power outlet or isolating switch
can be fitted inside or outside the box in accordance with
the AS 3000 wiring rules. Means for disconnection of the
water heater must be available either by having the plug
accessible or by incorporating a switch in the fixed wiring
in accordance with the wiring rules.
6. Seal the slots provided for plumbing inside the recess
box and any remaining holes or internal joins with suitable
sealant to prevent water or gas infiltration into the wall
cavity. Failure to do so could result in damage to property
and a potentially dangerous situation, and may void the
Electrolux warranty.
7. Use a suitable sealant between the recess box and the
wall to weatherproof the installation.
8. Place the cover over the recess box and fix in place using
the screws provided.
