ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

SAFETY
This water heater is supplied with temperature sensors, a FlameSafe™ protection system, pressure
relief valves 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.
If the power supply cord or plug to the solar storage tank is damaged, it must be replaced by an
authorised person in order to avoid a hazard. The power supply cord and plug must be replaced with a
genuine replacement part available from Solahart. Phone your nearest Solahart Dealer to arrange for
an inspection.
The warranty can become void if relief valves or other safety devices are tampered with or if the
installation is not in accordance with these instructions.
• 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 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 flue terminal. Ensure the flue terminal is not
obstructed in any way at any time.
• 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.
TO TURN OFF THE WATER HEATER
If you plan to be away from home for a few nights, we suggest you leave the water heater switched on.
If it is necessary to turn off the water heater:
• Switch off the electrical supply at the power outlet to the solar storage tank if there is no risk of
freezing conditions occurring (refer to note below).
• Close the gas isolation valve at the inlet to the water heater.
• Close the cold water isolation valve at the inlet to the water heater.
Note: If there is a risk of freezing conditions, the electrical supply to the water heater should not be
switched off unless the gas booster is drained, otherwise damage could result (refer to “Freeze
Protection” on page 8 and “Draining the Gas Booster Water Heater” on page 9).
