ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
MODEL TYPE
Congratulations for choosing a Raypak® water heater. The model you have chosen is suitable for either indoor or outdoor installation depending on use of the appropriate installation kit.
The operation of the water heater depends on the application. Typically for hot water applications a water heater with ‘on/off’ operation will be installed. For mechanical heating or process applications a water heater with ‘Hi/Lo’ operation will be installed.
HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE?
The water heater features an adjustable thermostat, which allows the most suitable temperature for the application to be chosen.
To meet the requirements of the National Plumbing Standard the temperature of the stored water for hot water applications must not be below 60°C.
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 be required by regulations that an approved temperature limiting device be fitted into the hot water piping 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.
