ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
MODEL TYPE
Congratulations for choosing a Solahart electronic instantaneous gas booster water heater. The model
you have chosen is for outdoor installation only and is only suitable for use with a solar water heater
with an over temperature protection system.
This water heater has been installed as a gas booster water heater to a solar preheat water heater. For
information relating to the function and operation of the solar water heater, refer to the Owner’s Guide
and Installation Instructions supplied with the solar water heater.
HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE?
The solar preheat water heater will deliver water at temperatures
up to 75
°
C for a Streamline pumped system and up to 85
°
C for a
Thermosiphon system with an over temperature protection
system. During periods of low solar energy gain, the gas booster
water heater will boost the water temperature automatically to a
minimum 60
°
C when required.

To meet the requirements of the National Plumbing Standard the
temperature setting must not be below 60
°
C.
Warning:
Temperature controllers
must not
be fitted to this
water heater as part of a solar water heater system because
water at a temperature much higher than the controller setting
can be delivered.
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 high performance temperature
limiting device be fitted into the hot water piping to the bathroom and ensuite when this water heater is
installed. This will keep the water temperature below 50°C at the bathroom and ensuite. The risk of
scald injury will be reduced and 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.
This water heater uses 240 V AC electrical power for operation of the control systems and the
combustion fan. The removal of the front cover(s) will expose 240 V wiring. It must only be removed by
an authorised or 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.
