Safety
This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children and animals should be
supervised to ensure that they do not
interfere with the appliance.
Warning:
it is essential for the safe
operation of this gas heater that clothing
or any other flammable material should
not be placed against or on top of the
water heater. In addition, do not store
flammable or corrosive materials, such
as dry cleaning fluids, pool chemicals,
etc., in close proximity to the heater.
The use of aerosol sprays in the vicinity
of the heater should be avoided. The
propellant gases used in these devices,
e.g. fly-spray, hair-spray and laundry
aids, can break down in the flames of the
burner and produce corrosive agents.
DO NOT
place articles on or against
this appliance.
DO NOT
use store chemicals or
flammable materials, or spray aerosols
near this appliance.
DO NOT
operate with panels or covers
removed from the appliance.
Water Quality
Your Dux water heater has been
manufactured to suit water conditions of
most Australian metropolitan supplies.
Please note that harsh water supplies
can have a detrimental effect on the
water heater and its life expectancy. If
you are unsure about your water quality
you can obtain information from your
local water supply authority.
The water heater is designed for use in
areas where the Total Dissolved Solids
(TDS) content of the water supply is less
than 2500 mg/L. In areas where the
TDS exceeds 600mg/L the magnesium
alloy anode (supplied in the heater) may
become over reactive. To alleviate this,
the anode should be replaced with an
aluminium alloy anode, available from
your local Dux supplier.
Water can also be very corrosive,
measured by the saturation index. If the
water saturation index is greater than
0.40 an expansion control valve should
be fitted and where the index is greater
than 0.80 the water heater installed
should be a Hard Water Model. Please
consult our Service Department for
advice if required.
