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.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
The temperature adjusting dial is on the
gas valve, behind the access cover on the
lower front of the water heater. A setting of
‘6’ will normally provide a boosted water
temperature of about 60°C. Each number
represents a temperature difference of
approximately 6°C.
To increase the boosted water temperature
to 65°C, turn the gas control knob counter-
clockwise to a setting of ‘7’. Refer to “Hotter
Water Increases the Risk of Scald Injury”
on page 5.
WARNING
This water heater is only intended to be operated by persons who have the
experience or the knowledge and the capabilities to do so. This water heater is
not intended to be operated by persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities i.e. the infirm, or by children. Children should be supervised
to ensure they do not interfere with the water heater.
This water heater uses 240 V AC electrical power for operation of the control
systems and the electrically operated components. The removal of the side
access panel will expose 240 V wiring. It must only be removed by an
authorised or qualified person.
Care should be taken not to touch the pipe work connecting the solar storage
tank and the solar collectors. Very high temperature hot water can be
generated by the solar collectors under certain conditions and flow through the
pipe work from the solar collectors to the solar storage tank.
