HOT WATER CAN BE DANGEROUS
Warning – Hot water burns. As a safety precaution, young children should always be supervised around
hot water fixtures.
Heat pump water heaters can store water at temperatures that can cause scalding. Water temperatures
over 50°C can scald and care needs to be taken to ensure that injuries do not occur through incorrect use of your
water heater.
As heat pump water heaters can generate water temperatures in excess of 60°C, regulations require that a
tempering valve be fitted to the heater to prevent water temperatures going to the home exceeding a preset safe
maximum. The tempering valve must be connected to the hot water outlet line from the water heater. The valve
must be fitted by an authorized plumber at the time of installation or in retrofitting to existing systems.
Care should be taken to avoid coming into contact with any pipe work or fixtures associated with the water heater
pipe lines. Under NO circumstances should any 'home handy man' type modifications be attempted.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, that prevents them from using the appliance safely without
supervision or instruction. Children should be supervised by a responsible person for their safety to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• DANGER: Failure to operate the relief valve easing gear at least once every six months may result in the water
heater exploding. Continuous leakage of water from the valve may indicate a problem with the water heater.
THE INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF AS/NZS 3500.4, AS/NZS 3000, and
