HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY
This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding. Check the water
temperature before use, such as when entering a shower or filling a bath or basin, to ensure it is
suitable for the application and will not cause scald injury.
We recommend and it may be required by regulations that an approved temperature limiting
device be fitted into the hot water piping to the bathroom and ensuite when the water heater is
installed. This will keep the water temperature below 55°C at the bathroom and ensuite. The risk of
scald injury will be reduced and if no controllers are installed and the pre-set outlet temperature
setting has not been adjusted below 55°C or if a Kitchen controller is installed, still allow hotter water
to the kitchen and laundry.
WARNING
This water heater is only intended to be operated by persons who have the experience or the
knowledge and the capabilities to do so. This water heater is not intended to be operated by
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities i.e. the infirm, or by children. Children
should be supervised to ensure they do not interfere with the water heater.
The water heater uses 240 Volt AC electrical power for operation of the control systems and the
combustion fan. The removal of the front panel will expose 240 V wiring. It must only be removed by
a qualified person. The power lead from the water heater must be plugged into a weatherproof
electrical outlet. Take care not to touch the power plug with wet hands.
SAFETY
This water heater is supplied with temperature sensors, a FlameSafe®protection system and a
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.
If the power supply cord or plug is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard. The power supply cord and plug must be replaced with a genuine replacement
part available from Paloma. Phone your nearest Paloma Service Agent to arrange for an
inspection.
Warning: For continued safety of this water heater it must be installed, operated and maintained
in accordance with the Owner’s Guide and Installation Instructions.
The warranty may not cover faults if relief valves or other safety devices are tampered with or if the
installation is not in accordance with these instructions.
