This Installation Manual has been prepared for Installers and
Service Technicians of the equipment. Please keep it in a safe
place for future reference.

For the installer

The installation must be completed by suitably licensed
installers in accordance with the information supplied in this
Installation Manual.

All other relevant National, State or Local regulations must
also be conformed with and these include (but are not
limited to):

• Australian Standard AS/NZS3500.1 - Water Supply

• Australian Standard AS/NZS3500.4 - Hot Water Supply

• Australian Standard AS/NZS3000 - Electrical Installation

If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or
explosion may occur, resulting in property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.

Ensure the following safety instructions are read and
understood before commencing installation.

warning

• For continued safety of this appliance it must be installed,

operated and maintained in accordance
with the manufacturers instructions.

• This appliance 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 appliance by a person responsible
for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

• In order to avoid electric shock, fire or injury, if any

abnormality is detected, such as the smell of smoke
coming from the hot water system, isolate the power at
the main switchboard then contact your local Electrolux
Customer Care Centre.

• Ensure that the hot water system and pipe work are

adequately earthed to avoid an electric shock.

• Never install a circuit breaker or power cable with the

wrong current rating as this may cause a fire hazard or the
circuit breaker to trip incorrectly.

• Do not inser t fingers, rods or other objects into the air

inlet or outlet of the heat pump. When the fan is rotating
at high speed, it will cause injury.

Important safety instructions

• In order to avoid injury, do not remove the fan guard of
the heat pump.

• Do not touch the heat exchanger fins on the heat pump.
These fins are sharp and could result in cutting injuries.

• Never use a flammable spray such as hair spray, lacquer
paint near the hot water system as it may cause a fire.

• This hot water system delivers water above 50°C and
a tempering valve (supplied) must be installed in
accordance with AS3498 to avoid scalding.

• The operation of the thermal cut-out (located on the
storage tank thermostat) indicates a possibly dangerous
situation. Do not reset the thermal cut-out until the hot
water system has been serviced by a qualified person.

caution

• Do not use the hot water system for other purposes
besides water heating for normal domestic use.

• Do not place items around the hot water system which
may be damaged by water leaking or draining from the
hot water system.

• Ensure that any water drained during installation does
not cause damage to the building or property.

• The minimum inlet water pressure must be 150kPa.

• If the hot water system supply pressure exceeds 600kPa, a
pressure limiting valve must be fitted to limit the pressure
to 600kPa. A 700kPa cold water expansion control valve
(not supplied) may also need to be installed at the water
inlet to the storage tank according to local regulations.

• A 99°C/850kPa temperature and pressure relief valve
(supplied) must be installed in the relief valve connection
near the top of the storage tank.

• Operate the relief valve easing gear at least every 6
months in order to remove lime deposits, confirm correct
operation and to verify it's not blocked.

warning

Failure to operate the valve easing gear at least once
every 6 months may result in the water heater failing, or in
extreme cases exploding. Continous leakage of water from
the valve may indicate a problem with the water heater.

• Water may leak from the discharge pipe of the relief
valve(s). Ensure that the discharge pipes are left open
to the atmosphere at all times and are installed in a
continuously downward direction.

• If any power cables are damaged during installation, they
must be replaced by a qualified person in order to avoid
damage or injury.

• The temperature settings for the heat pump and auxiliary
boost heater are factory pre-set to ensure optimum
energy efficiency whilst providing Legionella bacteria
protection. The temperature settings are therefore not
adjustable by the customer or installer.
