Installation

CAUTION:
• Please wait for 30 minutes before using the heater for the first time.
• The heater should only be connected to a power source after a full installation which ensures
secure mounting, piping, wiring and filling of the tank with water.
• To prevent injuries from lifting heavy equipment, the water heater should be installed by at least
2 persons.
• The water heater must be installed by a qualified personnel.
Location
This water heater should be installed at a location that is close to a power source, floor drain and
water supply. As the water heater is in use, water may be discharged from the pressure relief valve,
so there must be a floor drain near the heater. When installing the water heater, be sure the water
inlet and outlet pipes are at the bottom of the heater. The system must not be installed vertically.
Mounting Procedures and Precautions
The surface for installation must be capable of supporting at least four times the weight of the water
heater when filled with water. If the water heater is not installed on the bearing wall or is mounted
on hollow brick wall, corresponding protective measures must be provided.
This water heater must be installed with the fixing accessories provided. The heater must be hung on
accessories which are fixed firmly or else the heater may dislodge and serious injuries will result.
Mounting Guidelines
Before drilling, ensure the right side of the
heater is at least 300mm away from the wall
so as to allow for easy maintenance access. If
the heater is installed above a false ceiling,
ensure a 500 x 500mm service access directly
below.
Use an electric drill with a Ø12mm drill bit to
drill two holes 100mm in depth. The holes must
be level. The space between the two holes
should be 380mm.
