warm
The installation of a Bathroom Deluxe controller(s) only (i.e. no Kitchen Deluxe controller) limits the
temperature setting of the water heater to a maximum of:
• 871 series
• 875 series
regardless of the preset outlet temperature setting of the water heater.
The installation of a Kitchen Deluxe controller will allow a maximum temperature setting of:
• 871 series
• 875 series
regardless of the preset outlet temperature setting of the water heater.
If Deluxe or standard controllers are not installed, the water heater defaults to the preset outlet temperature
setting. This may be up to:
• 871 series
• 875 series
Refer to "How Hot Should The Water Be?"
On a building fitted with a temperature limiting device such as a tempering valve and where an 871 series
water heater is installed without a separate untempered hot water line to the kitchen, laundry or other non-
ablution area, although the Kitchen Deluxe controller will be able to display temperatures above 50°C and
the water leaving the water heater will be at the set temperature, the maximum water temperature which can
be delivered to the hot water outlets in these locations is determined by the temperature setting of the
temperature limiting device. This is usually 50°C.
On a building fitted with a temperature limiting device set to 50°C, to enable the delivery of water
temperatures above 50°C to the kitchen, laundry or other non-ablution area, separate untempered pipe work
must be installed from the water heater to the hot water outlets in these locations.

* limited to 48°C on an 875 series model and when set to Bath Fill mode on
871 series model. This is to ensure the water temperature does not exceed 50°C.
