The installer must check that there is water in the tank before the immersion heater is switched on. OPERATING CONDITIONS This heater is intended for use only in a domestic hot water system with an indirect or direct copper cylinder conforming to BS 699, BS 1566, BS 3198 or similar specification and operating at maximum temperature of, or below 85 degrees centigrade. No warranty is given or implied for uses other than as part of a domestic hot water system. FITTING TO TANK The heater is to be fitted to the tank using the washer supplied (or a `Water Council' approved non-asbestos washer of at least 1.5mm in thickness) and tightened to a minimum torque of 30Nm. To ensure a `leakfree' joint, it is important that both flange faces are clean and free from all traces of old washer. WATER HARDNESS To obtain maximum heater service life it is important to select the correct type of Immersion heater for local water conditions. The `Standard' range of Immersion heaters, where the sheath is of `COPPER' material, are designed to operate in `soft' to `neutral' water or where water softening equipment is used. The `Backerloy' or `Anti-Corrosive' range of Immersion heaters, where the sheath is of `STAINLESS' type material, are designed to operate in `neutral' to `hard' water where the build-up of limescale is likely to occur. POWER SHOWERS OR SHOWER PUMPS Where a second hot water outlet is fitted to the storage cylinder (hot water tank) to supply a shower pump or power shower, the guarantee/warranty does NOT cover defects arising from the operation of the heater when not totally Immersed in water.
