WATER HEATER TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

The temperature selector knob of the operator thermostat will be adjusted to its lowest setting when dispatched
from the factory. The operating thermostat setting should be adjusted to ensure that the water is stored at 60°C
and distributed at 50°C within 1 (one) minute at all outlets. Care is needed to avoid much higher temperatures
because of the risk of scalding. At 50°C the risk of scalding is small for most people, but the risk increases rapidly
with higher temperatures and for longer exposure times. The risk to young children and to those with a sensory or
mobility loss will be greater. Where a significant scalding risk has been identified, the use of thermostatic mixing
valves on baths and showers should be considered to reduce temperature, these need to be placed as close to
the point of use as possible.
The operating temperature of the water heater can be adjusted as follows:
1.
Locate the control cover and remove.
2.
Adjust the dial on the operating thermostat to give the desired water temperature.
3.
Adjust the limit thermostat to 10°C above the operating thermostat setting.
4.
Re-fit the control cover.

BOILER TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

The operating temperature of the boiler can be adjusted as follows:
1.
Locate the control cover and remove.
2.
Adjust the dial on the operating thermostat to give the desired water temperature.
3.
Adjust the limit thermostat to 10°C above the operating thermostat setting.
4.
Re-fit the control cover.

INSTALLATION NOISE

If care has been taken to follow the manufacturer's instructions there should be no discernible noise from the
equipment. The allied pump motor may have a level of sound that could lead to consideration for acoustic
insulation, but care must be taken not to impede ventilation or airflow to the pump motor.
