Glass-lined Bottom element 

electric boosted system

Once per week for 60°C for 32 

minutes

ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE 

COMPLETED BY AN AUTHORISED AND LICENSED

Thermostat Setting:

The thermostat should be set to 60°C or above as per 

AS/NZS 3498.

To adjust the temperature setting:
• Disconnect the electrical power supply to the tank
• Remove the element cover

desired temperature

When the electric element is activated it will heat up all

setting). This heating can take as long as 3-4 hours if 

the tank is cold. 

Note:

 Thermann recommends that the electric booster 

is left on, or controlled by a suitable timer.

Water Connection:

Unions should be used on both the hot and cold water 

supply lines for connections and the water lines should 

be purged to remove all debris and air.

To  ensure  optimal  operation  and  to  maintain  the 

integrity of the Thermann EHW tank, ensure that each 

of the following processes is carried out prior to leaving 

the site.

purposes.  This  should  include  photos  of  the 
plumbing lines to and from the tank.
