Installation Safety:

or installation is connected correctly, has adequate ventilation, is

To comply with New Zealand Gas Safety Standards you are required to
have a licensed gas worker or a gas Fitter to install or certify your
installation. A licensed gas worker will ensure that your gas appliance

appropriately flued and is in good working order.

Improper Installations

Improper installation, repairs, servicing, or interfering with designed
components internally or electronically to gas appliances and fittings
may cause personal injury, loss of life, or damage to property. Use a
qualified gas fitter for installation and repair.

Hot Water Temperature Warning

Use the control knobs provided on the front of the water heater to make
the correct adjustments for water flow and gas supply so you arrive to a
safe water temperature. Some water heaters have three adjustment
knobs; the middle control knob is designated for summer and winter
adjustment

If the appliance is not fitted to the appropriate specifications this could
increase the water temperature dramatically and make the appliance
unsafe. So please ensure the appliance is fitted to the current New
Zealand Gas Safety Authority Standards and Regulations.

Frost Protection

If your water heater installation is subject to frost or freezing please
ensure that the water is drained when not in use. This will prevent
internal mechanical damage to your water heater. Each water heate r is
provided with a frost drain plug which is situated on the left side of the
water inlet at the bottom of the appliance. See page 12, diagram1.

How the Challenger Water Heater Works

By turning on the hot tap the water will flow through the water heater
turning the water heater on. As the water circulates through the water
heater the water is heated.

By turning off the hot tap the water stops circulating through the water
heater, and the water heater turns off automatically.

The built in automatic safety features within t he water heater ensure that
the gas is turned off immediately the flame is extinguished.

Information about your Challenger LPG
Water Heater

• The Challenger LPG continuous flow water heater provides an
energy efficient method of heating water.

• For Challenger LPG Water Heater installations, please refer to the
New Zealand Gas Safety Regulations or consult with your
registered gas worker or installer.

• Challenger Water Heaters operate on low pressure LPG. They
require a low pressure gas regulator and can be used with a
portable LPG gas cylinder.

• The Challenger 5,6,7,8,10,12 & 16 litre models do not require a
power point (240 volt) and can be installed internally with a flue
system to vent the emissions to the outside. Internal installation
must comply with current New Zealand Gas Safety Installation
Standards & Regulations. The 5,6,7,8,10,12 & 16 litre models can
be installed externally provided the unit has adequate shelter to
prevent water from entering the unit and damaging the electronics
within the water heater.
