hot water system and the water heater begins operating, it
may become severely damaged.
caution
• Although the water heater is designed to operate with
minimal noise, it is recommended that you do not install
the water heater adjacent to bedrooms or other areas
designed to be quiet.
• Locate your water heater close to a drain where leakage
will not damage surrounding areas. As with any water
heating appliance, the potential for leakage at some time
during the life of the product does exist.
• The water heater shall be installed far away from any
flammable or combustible materials including wood and
cardboard. It must also have adequate ventilation to allow
the proper combustion of the gas inside the heater to
take place.
warning
• Ensure every care is taken to warn occupants of the
building and the public of any injury that may occur from
falling tools, open trenches, water connections or any
other general hazard.
• Make sure the water heater will have enough
combustion air and proper ventilation.
• Keep the area around the water heater clean. Particles
may clog the air vent, reduce fan function, or cause
improper combustion.
• Do not locate your water heater in a pit or any location
where gas and water can accumulate.

Remote controller (optional)
The water heater can be installed with up to three remote
controllers (one of each type), a MAIN controller, a SHOWER
controller and an ENSUITE controller.
The primary function of the remote controller is to adjust the
set temperature of the water being delivered by the water
heater (default set temperature on each controller is 40°C).
The set temperature can only be adjusted by the remote
controller that has the priority setting at that time (when
a remote controller has the priority setting, the “Priority”
indicator will be lit). The other remote controllers (if installed)
will simply display the set temperature. If the priority setting
is to be transferred to another controller, it can be transferred
by pressing the “Priority” button on that controller but only
when there is no water flowing through the water heater. This
prevents the water temperature from being changed whilst
someone else is using the hot water e.g. taking a shower.
In addition each remote controller can also display an error
code to indicate when there is a problem with the water
heater. This can be of assistance if there is a problem when
installing the hot water system or for a service person when
a service call is required (see page 19 of this manual for the
error codes and their meaning).

Troubleshooting
Temperature and amount of hot water
Problem Possible solutions
It takes a long time for hot water to
reach the fixtures.
The water is not hot enough
The water is too hot Is the temperature on the controller with priority set too high?
The hot water is not available when a
fixture is opened.
The hot water gets cold and stays cold
Fluctuation in hot water temperature.
The time it takes to deliver hot water from the water heater to your xtures
depends on the length of piping between the two. The longer the distance or
the bigger the pipes, the longer it will take to get hot water.
If a tempering valve is installed, is it set too low or malfunctioning?
Are the cold water and hot water lines cross connected?
Is the gas supply valve fully open?
Is the gas line sized properly?
Is the gas supply pressure enough?
Is the set temperature set too low?
Is the combustible air inlet or exhaust outlet blocked?
Is the gas inlet lter in the water heater blocked? Call a service technician to
remove blockage.
Reset power to the water heater to remove a previously set controller
