ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY
This water heater can deliver hot water at temperatures which on occasion could exceed 75°C, sufficiently hot
to cause severe scalding. Water at this temperature may have been plumbed to fixtures where water hotter
than 50°C is allowed, such as the kitchen and laundry.
Check the water temperature before use, such as when entering a shower or filling a bath or basin, to ensure
it is suitable for the application and will not cause scald injury.
We recommend and it may also be required by regulations, that an approved temperature limiting device be
fitted into the hot water pipe work to the bathroom and ensuite when this water heater is installed. This will
keep the water temperature below 50°C at the bathroom and ensuite. The risk of scald injury will be reduced
and still allow hotter water to the kitchen and laundry.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
The water heater features a tradesperson adjustable thermostat that automatically controls the electricity
supply to the booster heating unit. This requires a licensed electrical worker to make any temperature
adjustments. The thermostat is factory set at 60°C. The thermostat has a maximum temperature setting of
70°C and a minimum temperature setting of 60°C.
We advise you to have a licensed electrical worker adjust the thermostat to the lowest setting which meets
your needs, especially if there are young children or elderly people in the home. Refer to
Increases the Risk of Scald Injury
on page 13.
TO TURN OFF THE WATER HEATER
If you plan to be away from home for a few nights, we suggest you leave the water heater switched on.
If it is necessary to turn off the water heater:
•
Switch off the electrical supply at the water heater isolating switch on the switchboard and at the isolating
switch at the solar storage tank (if installed).
•
Switch off the electrical supply to the solar control unit at the power outlet (refer to note below).
•
Close the cold water isolation valve at the inlet to the water heater.
Notes
•
The freeze protection system will be rendered inoperable if electrical power is not available at the solar
control unit. Damage caused by freezing due to no power at the solar control unit is not covered by the
Solahart warranty. Refer to
“Terms of the Solahart Warranty”
on page 4.
•
If there is a risk of freezing, the electrical supply to the solar control unit should not be switched off unless
the solar collectors and solar hot and solar cold pipes are drained, otherwise damage could result (refer
to
on page 16).
TO TURN ON THE WATER HEATER
•
Open the cold water isolation valve fully at the inlet to the water heater.
•
If the solar collectors and solar hot and solar cold pipes have been drained, it will be necessary to have
the collector circuit purged of air. Phone your nearest Solahart Dealer.
If the electrical supply to the water heater has been switched off:
•
Switch on the electrical supply to the solar control unit at the power outlet. The power outlet must be
switched on for the solar control unit to operate and solar gain to be achieved.
•
Switch on the electrical supply at the water heater isolating switch on the switchboard and at the isolating
switch at the solar storage tank (if installed).
•
Check and if required reset the timer, if one is installed.
