FIRST FIX PLUMBING GUIDE
The heater is controlled by the rod type thermostat fitted.
A temperature setting of 65°C is recommended and is factory
pre-set.
The thermostat incorporates a thermal cut-out which cuts the
power to the immersion heater in an overheat situation. Should
this operate it can be manually reset by pressing the black
button to the side of the temperature adjustment dial.
NOTE: Investigate the cause of the overheating prior to
resetting.
Should the immersion heater require replacement use only the
Powermax spare part P3223.
