ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

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.

MODEL TYPE

Everhot

®

electric water heater models are available with either a single heating

unit or with twin heating units (refer to

“Single Element Model”

on page 14 and

“Twin Element Model”

on page 14). The water heater is suitable for either indoor

or outdoor installation.

Water  is  stored  in  a  vitreous  enamel  lined  steel  cylinder  and  heated  by  the
electric immersion heating unit. A thermostat controls the temperature.

Automatic  safety  controls  are  fitted  to  the
water  heater  to  provide  safe  and  efficient
operation.

The  water  heaters  have  connections  on
either  side  of  the  tank.  Plugs  block  off  the
alternative connection points. A 160 model
has caps covering the plugs. The plugs and
caps  and  are  not  to  be  tampered  with  or
removed.

HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE?

The  water  heater  features  a  tradesperson
adjustable  thermostat,  which  allows  you  to
choose  the  most  suitable  temperature  for
your

hot

water

needs.

Refer

to

“Temperature Adjustment”

on page 13.
