8 installation Kelvinator Gas Continuous Flow hot water system
The water heater requires careful and correct installation
to ensure safe and efcient operation. This manual must be
followed exactly. Read the SAFETY GUIDELINES and the
IMPORTANT sections at the beginning of this manual.
Conrm the water heater suitability
Check the gas type label and the rating plate for the correct
gas type, gas pressure, water pressure and electrical rating
for your application. Do not install this water heater if these
requirements can’t be met.
If this water heater is to be installed in a recess box,
please refer to the installation instructions supplied with
the recess box for specic instructions regarding this type
of installation.
caution
• The water heater must be installed outdoors only. Do not
install the water heater indoors.
• This equipment is not suitable for pool or spa heating.
• Water hardness may affect the water heater. It may be
damaged. It is important that the water heater is installed
in water conditions that are suitable for its efcient,
long term use.
• This is a water heating apparatus only and the nal tness
of water delivered is dependent upon the quality of water
supplied to this system.
• The connection, attachment, integration or general
association of other equipment or parts not specied by
the water heater which either directly or indirectly affect
the operation or performance of this equipment – could
void the warranty.
• Before making connections to the water heater, remove
any transit protection designed to prevent dirt and debris
from entering the water heater.
• The manifold pressure is preset at the factory. It is
computer controlled and does not need adjustment.
• Occupants are to be advised of any inconveniences which
could occur such as disconnection of services.
• Please follow the electrical earthing procedure outlined in
AS3500.4 before cutting or uncoupling existing metallic
pipework.
• To ensure the optimal performance of the water heater, it
should be installed as close as practical to the most used
hot water xtures and have 20mm thick insulation covering
the hot water piping. This will minimise heat loss, water
usage and cost to the customer. Keep in mind that the
minimum distance from the outlet of the water heater to
the rst xture is three metres for 50C models, and one
metre for 60C or 70C models.
• The water heater does not require a reproof back plate
when installed on a timber wall.
• Before connecting the water heater to the power supply
ensure that all air has been bled out of the hot water
system and that water is running freely from a hot tap for a
period of time. If air has not been properly bled from the
hot water system and the water heater begins operating, it
may become severely damaged.
caution
• Although the water heater is designed to operate with
minimal noise, it is recommended that you do not install
the water heater adjacent to bedrooms or other areas
designed to be quiet.
• Locate your water heater close to a drain where leakage
will not damage surrounding areas. As with any water
heating appliance, the potential for leakage at some time
during the life of the product does exist.
• The water heater shall be installed far away from any
flammable or combustible materials including wood and
cardboard. It must also have adequate ventilation to allow
the proper combustion of the gas inside the heater to
take place.
warning
• Ensure every care is taken to warn occupants of the
building and the public of any injury that may occur from
falling tools, open trenches, water connections or any
other general hazard.
• Make sure the water heater will have enough
combustion air and proper ventilation.
• Keep the area around the water heater clean. Particles
may clog the air vent, reduce fan function, or cause
improper combustion.
• Do not locate your water heater in a pit or any location
where gas and water can accumulate.
Selecting an installation location
Carefully read this section before selecting the installation
location and installing the water heater. The installer must
follow these precautions exactly.
• Locate the water heater to allow for easy access for service
and maintenance. Install the water heater so that it can be
connected or removed easily.
• Check the proximity of gas and electrical lines so as not
to create a hazard and avoid access problems for other
services.
• It must be located in accordance with the requirements
of AS5601 and have sufcient clearances from eaves,
windows, vents etc. – see the diagram on p.9.
• Exemption from Prescribed Statutory Requirement:
AS5601-2000 Clause 5.13.6.5, This relates to the physical
separation distance specication where multiple
appliances are employed. That equates to a minimum
150mm horizontal ue separation distance allowing
appliances to be placed side by side in the same
vertical plane
• Most load bearing walls such as brick, brick/veneer,
weatherboard and stud-frames are suitable locations.
• Securely fasten the water heater to the wall with a xing
solution suitable to the type of material the wall is made
from. A minimum of two screws or bolts at the top and
two screws or bolts at the bottom must be used.
Note: Refer to pages 6 & 7 for fixing positions.
