HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY
This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding.
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.
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
The water heater features a tradesperson adjustable thermostat, which allows
you to select the most suitable temperature for your hot water needs. This
requires a licensed tradesperson to make any temperature adjustments. The
thermostat has a maximum temperature setting of 70°C (75°C for 050 models)
and a minimum temperature setting of 60°C.
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.
