1. Close any hot taps and ensure the
burners are not operating.

button. Switch off the
electrical supply at the power outlet
to the water heater and remove the
3 pin plug from the GPO.
3. If remote controllers are NOT
installed, go to Step 7.
4. Unscrew and open the electrical cover on the underside of the water
heater (refer Diagrams 1 or 2 for respective model).
5. Loosen the terminal screws securing the remote controller cables and
remove the cables.
6. Retighten the terminal screws and secure the electrical cover.
7. For T26, 826, 824, 820, T16, 816 & 812 models only, remove the top and bottom
cover strips to gain access to the front panel screws by pressing on the two ridged

8. Remove the screws holding the front panel of the jacket.
9. Gently disengage the front panel and remove from the water heater.
Ensure electrical power is turned off (see Step 2 above) as there is
exposed 240V wiring with front panel removed.
NOTE: For New Zealand installations ONLY it is
necessary to cut the resistor wire link indicated in
