CONNECTIONS – ELECTRICAL
All electrical work and permanent wiring must be carried out by a qualified person and in accordance with the
Wiring Rules AS/NZS 3000 and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements.
Warning: Temperature controllers must not be fitted to this water heater (862 series) if it is installed as
an in-series gas booster with a solar water heater system or if a Water Star water heater is installed because
water at a temperature much higher than the controller setting can be delivered. If a solar or Water Star
water heater has been installed to an existing water heater installation, then all controllers must be
disconnected and removed.
The water heater is supplied with a 1.8 metre lead and plug and requires a 240 V 50 Hz general purpose
outlet (GPO) to be located within 1.2 metres of the installation. The GPO must be clear of the flue exhaust,
draining water, gas supply pipe and water connections.
