- Page 6 HOW TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE If your installation is Borderline, enquire from your plumber about fitting inexpensive flow control valves, water efficient shower roses, low flow tap aerators which will help reduce water usage. Replace leaky tap washers. An option is to adjust the Thermostat upwards to gain additional hot water capacity for limited periods.

Page 7: How Your Water Heater Works
HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS A VERY SAFE SYSTEM Water is stored in a copper tank containing a copper heat exchange coil. Water in the tank is heated by an electric heating element. As cold water passes through the heat exchange coil it is heated by the transfer of heat from the hot water in the tank to the cold water in the coil. - Page 8 PRESSURE RELIEF & NON-RETURN VALVE Situated near the top of the water heater, the pressure relief valve is combined with a non-return valve and is set at 1400kPa. During periods after hot water has been drawn off, water in the coil is trapped between the tap and the non-return valve.
- Page 9 TOPPING UP Once every six months the pressure relief valve must be checked by the owner. To top up the tank and check the valve, lift the valve lever against the spring pressure until water flows from the overflow pipe. When water flows from the overflow, restore the lever to its original position.

Page 12: Installation
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Installation of this water heater must be performed by an Authorised Person and in accordance with both Local Authority Regulations and AS/NZS 3500.4 “National Plumbing and Drainage Code and AS/NZS 3000. Wiring Rules. LOCATION Install as close as practicable to the kitchen or most frequently used hot water outlet in an accessible position, and with adequate access to thermostat and element at front of heater. - Page 13 FOUNDATION To ensure adequate ventilation, position unit on a timber support base on a concrete slab. (SEE FIGURE 5) FIG. 5 Alternative forms of water heater bases are acceptable providing they allow for adequate ventilation. Attention is drawn to the weight of the water heater when full and installer should ensure that the base and footings are substantial enough to avoid subsidence etc.
- Page 14 BORE WATER SUPPLY NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CONNECTION. For further information contact SAXON Service. If the heater is connected to bore supply against SAXON recommendation, warranty does not apply. VENT PIPE This Pipe Must Not Become Blocked or Obstructed. It should be checked periodically to ensure it remains clear. To prevent accidental discharge of hot water through the vent pipe whilst checking the valve, the vent pipe may be extended downwardly.

Page 16: Draining The Water Heater
OVERFLOW PIPE Overflow pipes may be extended from the water heater, but must not be less than 19.1mm (¾”) O.D. copper tube – not more than 10 metres in length. Right angled bends must be limited to no more than three. The extension must fall from the overflow outlet, should not be looped, and shall discharge at a visible point where water flow will not cause damage to property or injury to persons. -
Page 17: Connections - Electrical
CONNECTIONS – ELECTRICAL Power must not be turned on until the water heater is filled with water, and a satisfactory megger reading is obtained. (See ‘Filling the Heater’, Page 14) All water heaters are designed for 230-240v a.c. mains operation. Electrical connections are made at the terminal block (access to which is made by removing the junction box cover from the front of the heater). -
