Depending on the model selected, the Crossflow system can be programmed by the installer to supply
hot water at a temperature in excess of 50°C. We recommend that a temperature limiting device be
fitted between the Crossflow system and the hot water outlets in any ablution and public areas such as
bathrooms, ensuites or public amenities, to reduce the risk of scalding. A tempering valve may be
required to comply with local requirements. Refer to the plumbing codes applicable in your area to
