24. WARNING: IF THE SOLAR SYSTEM IS NOT USED FOR TWO WEEKS OR MORE, A
QUANTITY OF HYDROGEN GAS, WHICH IS HIGHLY INFLAMMABLE, MAY
ACCUMULATE IN THE SYSTEM. THIS MAY BE OBSERVED AS VIOLENT
'SPLUTTERING' WHEN A HOT TAP IS OPENED INITIALLY. TO DISSIPATE THIS GAS
SAFELY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A HOT TAP BE TURNED ON FOR SEVERAL
MINUTES AT A SINK, BASIN OR BATH BUT NOT AT A DISHWASHER, CLOTHES
WASHER OR OTHER APPLIANCE. DURING THIS PROCEDURE THERE MUST BE NO
SMOKING, OPEN FLAME, OR ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE OPERATING NEARBY. IF
HYDROGEN HAS FORMED AND IS DISCHARGED THROUGH THE TAP IT WILL
PROBABLY MAKE A SOUND SIMILAR TO AIR ESCAPING.
2. HOUSEHOLDER INSTRUCTIONS
– Operation and Maintenance
Warning: This appliance not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
Children should be supervised by a person responsible for their safety to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
SOLAR SYSTEM OPERATION & ELECTRIC BOOST
Ensure that your solar hot water system is filled with water at all times. If drained at any time then the
solar panels should be covered as prolonged exposure to sun without a supply of coolant water may
cause damage.
DO NOT turn off the ELECTRICITY or WATER SUPPLY to the Solar Controller and Pump.
The pump and controller should be connected to a 240V 50 Hz power supply at all times i.e.
throughout the entire year. Even in winter it is important that the controller is able to turn the pump
ON during cold conditions to prevent panel damage due to freezing.
The controller is a differential thermostat which turns the pump on and off in response to temperature
signals received from a hot sensor, located in the solar panels on the roof, and a cold sensor located
in a pocket at the base of the solar storage tank. The sensor cables must not be damaged or cut.
