THIS WATER HEATER IS FOR OUTDOOR OR INDOOR INSTALLATION, MODEL DEPENDANT.
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 the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA), Standards AS/NZS 3500.4 and
AS/NZS 5601.1, and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements, and

in New Zealand also conforming to Clauses G11, G12 and H1 of the New Zealand Building Code.
Warning: This water heater may deliver water at high temperature. Refer to the Plumbing Code of
Australia, local requirements and these installation instructions to determine if additional delivery
temperature control is required. Refer to
“Hot Water Delivery” on page 23 .
All packaging materials must be removed from the water heater prior to its installation.
WATER HEATER APPLICATION
This water heater is designed 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.
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 and the booster preset outlet temperature setting is 70°C
or higher.
WATER HEATER LOCATION
The water heater should be installed in a 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 remove a water heater later for
servicing.
The water must be installed vertically upright. Wall mounted versions must be installed on a solid wall
capable of supporting the weight of the Multipak system. Free standing versions can be mounted in any
location on a solid base. The frame must be secured to the floor at all anchor points provided.
The water heater must not be installed in an area with a corrosive atmosphere where chemicals are stored
or where aerosol propellants are released. Remember the air may be safe to breathe, but when it goes
through a flame, chemical changes take place which may attack the water heater.
