3. Safety
This chapter provides an overview of all important
actions required for a safe and trouble-free operation.
3.1 General safety instructions
Operate the water heater only when fully installed and
with all safety equipment in place.
Unsuitable tools or incorrect handling can result in
damage to the water heater.
DANGER Scalding
The water is heated inside the water tank to
140 °F(60 °C). There is a risk of scalding at
outlet temperatures above 109 °F (43 °C).
» Ensure that outflowing water does not
directly contact your body.
CAUTION Injury
Where children or persons with limited
physical, sensory or mental capabilities are
allowed to control this water heater, ensure
that this will only happen under supervision
or after appropriate instruction by a person
responsible for their safety.
» Children should be supervised to ensure
that they never play with the water heater.
Never place any objects on top of the water
heater.
Objects placed on top of the water heater
can increase the noise level developed by the
water heater through vibrations.
Never cover the water heater.
The water heater draws in air. Covering the
inlet slots reduces the air intake. This reduces
the efficiency of the water heater and can even
lead to one of the safety devices interrupting
the water heater operation.
3.2 Intended use
This water heater produces hot water automatically.
The water heater can be installed and operated in the
open as well as in enclosed spaces. The temperature of
the air that is drawn in during operation must not fall
below 43 °F(6 °C).
Any other use beyond that described shall be deemed
inappropriate. Observation of these instructions is also
part of the correct use of this water heater.
Any changes or modifications to this water heater void
all warranty rights.
3.3 Incorrect use
The following are not permitted:
- Do not heat anything other than potable water
- Do not use unqualified (unlicensed) personnel for
installation
- Do not use in an environment with greasy extract
air
This water heater must not be operated at
ambient temperatures in excess of 107 °F
(42 °C) or below 43 °F (6 °C).
If outside air is directly drawn in ensure, that
the water heater is isolated from its power
supply when the air temperature falls below
43 °F(6 °C).
3.4 Personnel qualification
DANGER Injury
Incorrect handling can result in severe injuries
and material losses. Inadequately qualified
personnel cannot assess the potential risks.
Have the installation, initial start-up,
maintenance and repair steps carried out only
by the qualified individuals specified in the
respective chapters.
In the remainder of this manual, such qualified
individuals will be described as the "licensed installer."
3.5 Safety equipment
Wear safety shoes/boots during the transportation and
positioning of the water heater. Dry, this water heater
weighs 290 lb (130 kg.) Safety shoes/boots reduce the
risk of injury.
