WATER HEATER
THIS WATER HEATER IS FOR OUTDOOR INSTALLATION ONLY.
THIS WATER HEATER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR POOL HEATING.
Check the water heater is suitable for the gas type available.
(refer to the rating label on the water heater)
INSTALLATION STANDARDS
The water heater must be installed:
by a qualified person, and
in accordance with the installation instructions, and
in compliance with Standards AS/NZS 3500.4, AS 5601 or AS/NZS 5601.1, as applicable under local
regulations, and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements.
All packaging must be removed from the water heater prior to its installation.
WATER HEATER APPLICATION
This water heater is designed for use in a single family domestic dwelling for the purpose of heating potable
water. 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.
The CF26-60 model water heaters may be installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater. For
information relating to the function and operation of the solar water heater, refer to the Owner‟s Guide and
Installation Instructions supplied with the solar water heater.
Note:
The CF26-50 model water heaters are marked “THIS APPLIANCE DELIVERS WATER NOT
EXCEEDING 50°C IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS 3498” on the front panel. These models;
must not
be installed as an in-series gas booster to a solar water heater, as water temperature greater
than 50°C can be delivered from the water heater contravening its compliance to AS 3498.
Note:
AS 3498 requires that a water heater provides the means to inhibit the growth of Legionella bacteria in
potable water. When this water heater is used as an in-series booster for a solar water heater it can satisfy
this AS 3498 requirement provided it is energised, the booster preset outlet temperature setting is 70°C, and
that a remote temperature controller is not used.
WATER HEATER LOCATION
The water heater should be installed close to the most
frequently used outlet and its position chosen with safety
and service in mind. If this water heater is part of a solar
water heater system, it should also be installed close to
the solar storage tank. Make sure people (particularly
children) will not touch the flue terminal. The flue terminal
and air inlet 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 entire front
panel can be removed for service. You must be able to
read the information on the rating plate. Remember you
may have to take the entire water heater out later for
servicing.
