Please read thoroughly all of the instructions before installing and operating the unit.
The following safety warnings are very important, always read and obey all safety symbols:
WARNING
• The unit must be earthed effectively.
• A RCD breaker must be installed adjacent to the power
supply.
• Do not remove, cover or deface any permanent instructions or
labels from either the outside or inside of the unit panels.
• Only qualified persons should install the unit in accordance
with local and national regulations and this guide.
• Improper installation may result in water leakage, electric
shock or fire.
• All electric connections should comply with the regulations of
the local power company, local electric utility and this guide.
• Never use an incorrectly rated fuse, otherwise the unit may
break down and cause an electrical fire.
• Do not insert fingers, rods or other objects into the air inlet or
outlet. The fan is rotating at high speed, and may cause injury.
• Never use a flammable spray such as hair spray or lacquer
paint near the unit. It may cause a fire.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the unit
by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• DISPOSAL: Do not dispose of electrical
appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use
separate collection facilities. Contact your
local government for information regarding the
collection systems available.
• If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps,
hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater causing
health concerns.
• The unit must be securely fixed, otherwise, noise and vibration
may result.
• Make sure that there are no obstacle around the unit.
• If the unit is to be installed in an area that is subject to lengthy
periods of direct sunlight, additional UV protection for the
display screen is advised.
• In places where there are strong winds (e.g. seaside
locations), fix the unit in an area protected from the wind.
• The PTR Valve should be operated every
6 month to make sure that there is no
restriction of the valve. Please beware of
hot water being expelled from the valve.
The drainage pipe should be well insulated
in order to prevent water inside pipe from
freezing in cold weather.
CAUTION
• The earthing pole must be well grounded. Make sure that any
power supply socket and plug are dry and connected tightly.
• Before cleaning, be sure to stop the operation and isolate the
unit (i.e. turn the isolating switch or breaker off). Otherwise, an
electric shock and injury may be caused.
• Water temperature over 50
°
C can
cause severe burns or even death
from scalds. Children, disabled and
elderly are at highest risk of being
scalded. Feel water before bathing or
showering. Water temperature limiting
valves are required as per AS 3500.
• Do not operate the unit with a wet
hand as an electric shock may occur.
• A one-way (non-return) valve must be installed on the water
inlet side, as well as a suitable isolation valve.
• It is normal for some water to be released from the PTR valve
during operation. But, if there is a large volume of water, call
our service team for further advice. After long term use, check
the unit base and fittings. If damaged, the unit may sink,
resulting in injury. Arrange the drain pipe to ensure effective
draining. Improper drainage may cause water damage to
surrounding areas such as buildings, furniture etc. Do not
touch the inner parts of the controller or remove the front
panel. Some parts inside are dangerous to touch, and may
cause damage.
• Do not turn off the power supply except for service and
maintenance purposes. A continuous power supply for water
heating is necessary.
• Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable, and may build up if
no water is drawn off for several weeks. To reduce the risk of
injury under these conditions, it is recommended that the hot
water tap is opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink
before using any electrical appliance (i.e. washing machine
/ dishwasher) connected to the hot water system. When
hydrogen is present, there will probably be an unusual sound
such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to
flow. There should be no smoking or open flame near the tap
at the time it is open.
