Important Safety Information
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE
MAY DELIVER WATER AT HIGH
TEMPERATURE. REFER TO THE
PLUMBING CODE OF AUSTRALIA
(PCA), LOCAL REQUIREMENTS
AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
TO DETERMINE IF ADDITIONAL
DELIVERY TEMPERATURE CONTROL
IS REQUIRED.
WARNING – FOR CONTINUED
SAFETY OF THIS APPLIANCE IT
MUST BE INSTALLED, OPERATED
AND MAINTAINED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S
INSTRUCTIONS.
This water heater is not intended for
use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
use of the water heater by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure
they do not interfere with the water heater.
Ensure animals are supervised so they do
not interfere with the water heater.
DO NOT store chemicals or ammable
materials, or spray aerosols near this
water heater.
DO NOT modify this water heater.
DO NOT operate the water heater with
any panels or covers removed.
If the water heater is not used for two
weeks or more, a quantity of hydrogen
(which is highly ammable) may
accumulate inside the water heater tank.
To dissipate this gas safely it is
recommended that a hot tap be turned
on for several minutes at a sink, basin
or bath, but not a dishwasher, clothes
washer or other appliance.
During this procedure there must be
no smoking, open ame or any other
electrical appliance operating nearby. If
hydrogen is discharged through the tap it
will probably make a sound similar to air
escaping.
RELIEF VALVE:
The Pressure & Temperature Relief (PTR)
Valve must be installed directly into the
RP½” (DN15) socket marked “RELIEF
VALVE”.
The PTR Valve rating is 1,400 kPa and
10 kW on 125L and 160L capacities.The
PTR Valve rating is 1,000 kPa and 10 kW
on 250L and 315L capacities.
The valve must not be tampered with or
removed. The water heater must not be
operated unless this valve is tted and in
working order.
The drain line from the PTR Valve must
be installed in a continuously downward
direction in a frost free environment.
The PTR Valve is to be operated regularly
to remove lime deposits and to verify it
is not blocked. The drain line tted to
the PTR Valve must be left open to the
atmosphere.
DANGER: Failure to operate the PTR
Valve easing lever at least once
every six months may result
in the water heater exploding.
