This appliance MUST BE placed as close as practicable to the most frequently used hot water outlet or outlets to
minimise the delay time for hot water delivery� For installations where the distance between the water heater and

the customer can arrange permanent and safe access or can provide another means of access, for example, by
means of scissor or boom lifts acceptable to local authorities�

The appliance can be mounted directly against the wall or structure� There is no need to use, non combustible
sheeting or leave an air gap between the appliance back panel and the wall or structure to meet the temperature
hazard requirements of AS/NZS 5601.
