ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

PRECAUTIONS
Where damage to property can occur in the event of the water heater leaking,
the water heater must be installed in a safe tray. Construction, installation and
draining of a safe tray must comply with AS/NZS 3500.4 and all local codes and
regulatory authority requirements.
The water heater must be maintained in accordance with the Owner’s Guide and
Installation Instructions. Refer to “Maintenance Requirements” on page 10.
If this water heater is to be used where an uninterrupted hot water supply is
necessary for your application or business you should ensure that you have back
up redundancy within the hot water system design. This should ensure the
continuity of hot water supply in the event that this water heater were to become
inoperable for any reason. We recommend you seek advice from your plumber
or specifier about your needs and building back up redundancy into your hot
water supply system.
THERMOSTAT
The thermostat automatically controls the electricity supply to the heating unit so
a constant temperature is maintained. The thermostat and its protective over-
temperature cut-out is mounted inside the front cover of the water heater. There
is no need to switch the water heater off when it is not in use, except when you
are on an extended holiday. The thermostat is fully automatic and power is only
used when heating is required.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
This water heater features a tradesperson adjustable thermostat. This requires
a licensed tradesperson to make any temperature adjustments. The thermostat
(bottom thermostat on twin element models) has a maximum temperature setting
of 75°C (80°C for 050 models) and a minimum temperature setting of 60°C. The
top thermostat on a twin element model has a fixed setting of 60°C and cannot
be adjusted.
We advise you have your electrician adjust the thermostat to the lowest
temperature setting that meets your needs, especially if there are young children
or elderly people in your home. Refer to “Hotter Water Increases The Risk of
Scald Injury” on page 5.
