SAFETY
This water heater is supplied with a thermostat, an over-temperature cut-out,
and a combination temperature pressure relief valve. These devices must not
be tampered with or removed. The water heater must not be operated unless
each of these devices is fitted and is in working order.

•
Do not store flammable or
combustible materials near the water
heater. Flammable liquids (such as
petrol), newspapers and similar articles
must be kept well away from the water
heater and the draught diverter or flue
terminal.
•
Do not use aerosols, stain removers
and household chemicals near the
water heater whilst it is working. Gases
from some aerosol sprays, stain
removers and household chemicals
become corrosive when drawn into a
flame.
•
Do not store swimming pool chemicals, household cleaners, etc., near
the water heater.
•
Do not place anything on top of the water heater or in contact with the
draught diverter or flue terminal. Ensure the flue terminal is not obstructed in

•
Do not use Propane / Butane gas mixtures in a Propane model. A Propane
model is designed to operate on Propane only. The use of
Propane / Butane mixture, such as automotive LPG fuel, in a Propane
model is unsafe and can cause damage to the water heater.
