IBS 10 letter Electric Geyser (Water Heater)
General remarks
CAUTION The manufacturer cannot be
responsible for the damages caused by improper installation or by failure to
follow instruction in this pamphlet. Comply with the installation instructions
before completing electric connection.
CAUTION The
thermostat has been pre-set at the factory between 41°C (105° F) and 45° C
(113° F).
CAUTION Hydrogen gas can be produced in
a hot water system served by this heater that has not been used for a long
period of time (generally 2 weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely
flammable. To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, it is
recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the
kitchen sink before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water
system. If hydrogen gas is present, there will probably be an unusual sound
such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. There should
be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at this time.
IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning
When using
electrical appliances, safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock or injury to persons should be followed, including:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS WATER HEATER.
2. This water heater must be
grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found on “INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS”.
3. Install or locate this water
heater only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
4. Use this water heater only for
its intended use as described in this manual.
5. Do not use an extension cord
set with this water heater. If no outlet is available adjacent to the water
heater, contact a qualified electrician to have one properly installed.
6. As with any appliance, close
supervision is necessary when used by children.
7. Do not operate this water
heater if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.
8. This water heater should be
serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact a service person for
examination, repair or adjustment.
9. Failure to service the anode
rod at least once a year could cause the tank to fail and leak. Any water
heater should be installed in such a manner that if it should leak, the
resulting flow of water will not cause damage to the area in which it is
installed. National Plumbing codes require a drain pan for any water heater
installation. Failure to install one is the sole responsibility of owner and/or
installer. Reference UPC 2000 (Uniform Plumbing Code) Section 510 - Protection
from Damage or IPC 200 (International Plumbing Code) Section 504- Safety
Devices.
