ABOUT SELECTING AN INSTALLATION LOCATION
CAREFULLY READ THIS SECTION BEFORE INSTALLING THE WATER HEATER. WHEN A LOCATION
FOR INSTALLATION HAS BEEN SELECTED, THESE PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY.
• This is a water heating apparatus only and the final quality of water delivered is dependent
upon the quality of water supplied to this system.
• Although the water heater is designed to operate with minimal sound, you should not
install the unit on a wall adjacent to a bedroom, or a room that is intended for quiet
study or meditation, etc.
• Locate your 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 in life
of the product does exist.
• Every care is taken to warn THE PUBLIC AND THE OCCUPANTS OF THE BUILDING OF ANY
RISK OF 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.
• Locate unit for easy access and maintain proper space for service and maintenance. Install
the unit so that it can be connected or removed easily.
• The water heater must be installed outdoors only. Do not install the water heater
indoors.
• Do not locate your water heater in a pit or any location where gas and water can accumulate.
• Check the proximity of gas & electrical lines so as not to create a hazard and avoid access problems for
other services.
• Heater must be located in accordance with the requirements of AS5601 and have sufficient clearances
from eaves, windows, vents etc. – see the diagram on p. 9.
• "Exemption from Prescribed Statutory Requirement": AS5601 Clause 5.13.6.5. This relates to the
physical separation distance specification where multiple appliances are employed. That equates to
a minimum 150 mm horizontal flue separation distance allowing appliances to be placed side by side in
the same vertical plane.
• Most load bearing walls such as brick, brick/veneer, weatherboard and stud-frames are suitable
locations.
• Securely fasten the unit to the wall with screws or bolts in the top and bottom brackets. A minimum of
two screws on the top and at the bottom must be used.
