ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

If it is necessary to turn off the water heater:

• Shut down the gas control (refer to “Close Down Procedure” on page 36).

• Close the gas isolation valve at the inlet to the gas control.

• Close the cold water isolation valve at the inlet to the water heater.

TO TURN ON THE WATER HEATER

• Open the cold water isolation valve fully at the inlet to the water heater.

• Open the gas isolation valve fully at the inlet to the gas control.

• Light the water heater (refer to “Lighting the Water Heater” on page 33).

HOW DO I KNOW IF THE WATER HEATER IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY?

Installation requirements are shown on pages 21 and 22 and pages 26 to 30.

The water heater must be installed by an authorised person and the installation

must comply with National Standards AS/NZS 3500.4, AS 5601 and all local

codes and regulatory authority requirements. In New Zealand, the installation

must conform with the Code of Practice for installation of Gas Appliances

NZS 5261 and the New Zealand Building Code.

DOES THE WATER QUALITY AFFECT THE WATER HEATER?

The water heater is suitable for most public water supplies, however some

water qualities may have detrimental effects on the cylinder and fittings. If you

are in a known harsh water area you must read page 38. If you are not sure,

have your water quality checked against the conditions described on page 38.

HOW LONG WILL THE WATER HEATER LAST?

There are a number of factors that will affect the length of service the water

heater will provide. These include the water quality, the water pressure,

temperature (inlet and outlet) and the water usage pattern. However, your

water heater is supported by a comprehensive warranty (refer to page 40).
