Before using this Water Heater please read the instructions for use:
•
Do not operate heater unless it is completely full of water. If heater has been operated without water and fails
to work, follow the switch reset instructions in Section 9.ii.
• The 12 V d.c. Water Heater can only be operated when the engine(s) are running at cruising speed to ensure
batteries remain fully charged. Alternatively the Water Heater can be connected to a dedicated 12 V battery.
• If the boat is connected to the dockside water system, ensure that the system is turned off at the dock when
not attended. Also ensure that a pressure regulator is fi tted to the vessel.
• Heat up times are dependant on your installation and other variable factors including initial temperature of the
water, power available and ambient temperatures.
• The water temperature cannot be adjusted. It is automatically set to approximately 140°F / 60°C to prevent
bacteria growth.
• To avoid scalding, the temperature of hot water supplied to faucets and showers must be controlled via a
thermostatic mixer valve as per ABYC H-23 standards (See section 8.vii).
• Do not use water from the Water Heater as drinking water.
