AquaMAX G270VE Series - Manual (Page 22)

It is a requirement of AS 5601 and AS/NZS 5601.1 that the water heater is
secured to a wall. A wall bracket is supplied with the water heater for this
purpose. The top of the unit is to be secured to the wall using the wall
bracket and masonry anchor provided (or other suitable fastener). Refer to
‘Wall Bracket Installation’ on page 22.
Note: Damage to the storage cylinder caused by incorrect installation is not
covered by warranty.
This water heater must not be installed in an area with a corrosive
atmosphere where chemicals are stored or where aerosol propellants are
released. Remember the air may be safe to breathe, but when it goes
through a flame, chemical changes take place which may attack the water
heater. Some chemicals and aerosol propellants are flammable and storing
or using these products near the water heater may cause fire or explosion.
The following restrictions to water heater location are from AS 5601 or
AS/NZS 5601.1 and are supplied here as a guide. The dimensions shown
