1. How the Heater Works This appliance is an unvented water heater, it is intended to be connected directly to the mains water supply and depending on size will feed up to 3 outlets using standard taps. The range is available in 5, 10 and 15L, it is important to ensure the capacity meets the outlet usage requirements.
2. Installation Wall Mounting Do not install the appliance if it has been subject to any significant physical impact, or if it could have been pressurised beyond its normal working pressure or if it has been subject to freezing. These factors can damage the glass tank lining and therefore dramatically shorten the life of the appliance, even if there is no obvious problem on first installation.
3. Plumbing Connection The supplied pressure relief valve must be fitted. Hot water may present a scalding hazard, especially to children or the infirm. A thermostatic blending valve is recommended in high risk situations. Only connect this appliance to a water supply that meets the min / max pressures specified in the specification section of this manual.

5. Commissioning • Upon completion of installation, turn on the water supply to the appliance and allow it to fill. Open the hot water tap to allow air to purge from the system. • Once the water runs smoothly from the hot water tap and the air is purged from the system, close the tap and inspect all fittings for leaks.
6. Operation The appliance should be drained if it will be switched off or unattended for any length of time, particularly during the colder months of the year where a possibility of freezing temperatures exists. Hot water may present a scalding hazard, especially to children or the infirm. In high risk situations a thermostatic mixing valve is recommended.
7. Cleaning and Maintenance Isolate the appliance from the electrical supply before performing any maintenance. The pressure relief valve should be operated regularly to remove limescale deposits and to verify that it is not blocked. Ensure any future maintenance or modifications to the plumbing system also complies with the guidelines in these instructions.
