Using the PowerStar

Diagram 4: Internal wiring schematic for single phase AE125 unit. (AE115 does not have Elt 5 & 6 fitted and uses two supplies). (In Canada an auxiliary terminal block is fitted during installation).

WARNING

Do not use the unit if you think it may be frozen, as this could result in serious damage to the unit. Wait until you are sure that it has completely thawed out before you switch it on.

∙Check that the power is switched on at the circuit breaker panel.

∙Turn on the hot water faucet FULLY. The hot water temperature can be changed by adjusting the temperature dial on the bottom surface of the unit. (The dial adjusts the temperature typically between 95°F and 131°F. The factory sets the temperature dial at the lowest position.)

∙There are internal safety thermal cut-outs which will trip if the unit overheats. If the cut-out trips, it must be reset while the circuit breakers are off. If you are not comfortable or qualified to perform this task, consult the original installer or a licensed electrician.

∙If the unit has been used recently, run the water through for a few seconds to let the temperature cool down. You may initially get a short burst of very hot water that was in the plumbing lines from previous use.

∙If a second outlet connected to the unit is also turned on, the hot water will be shared between the two.
