DOMESTIC INSTALLATION GUIDE
2n: Caution Regarding Drilling the Outer Casing
This is extremely important and MUST be adhered to without exception!
3a: Filling the Water Heater
Open all hot water taps. Open isolating valve at the cold-water inlet and allow the water heater to fill until water flows
through the system. Close each hot water tap after the air is expelled from its line.
3b: Water Quality
Your Quantum water heater has been manufactured to suit the water conditions of most Australian and New Zealand
metropolitan supplies. Harsh water supplies can have a detrimental effect on the water heater and its life expectancy.
If you are unsure about your water quality you can obtain information from your local water supply authority.
By using the correct anode, this water heater can be used in areas where the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) content of
the water supply is up to 2500 mg/L.
In areas where the TDS exceeds 750mg/L it is possible that the magnesium alloy anode (supplied in the heater) may
become over reactive. To alleviate this, the magnesium alloy anode should be checked more regularly, and replaced if
necessary. More information is given in the Domestic Owners Warranty Manual section on Pages 8-9.
3c: Caution When Left Operating but Unused
If the water heater is left in an operating condition, but unused for two weeks or more, hydrogen
gas (highly flammable) may accumulate on top of the water cylinder. 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 flame or any other electrical appliance operating nearby.
If hydrogen gas is discharged through the tap it will probably make an unusual sound similar to air escaping.
Section 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT DRILL ANY HOLES IN OUTER METAL CASING
DRILLING OF ANY HOLES WILL VOID WARRANTY
