Function

How the water heater works:
• Water comes in through the cold water inlet.
The heater is designed for cold water supply
only. Do not supply with pre-heated water.
• The flow switch senses how much water is passing
through the unit. If it detects more than the preset
level, the unit's heating elements switch on. This is
shown by the neon light glowing.
• The water is heated instantly as it passes through the
copper heat exchanger tube.
The temperature of the water coming out of the unit
depends on:
• The voltage of the electrical supply,
• The temperature of the incoming water supply,
• The setting of the power selector,
• The flow rate,
• The power rating of the unit.
• Depending on the region of the country, the
temperature of the water supply can vary between

Manual reset thermal cut-out
The unit has a thermal cut-out (Fig. 1) which is mounted
on the heat exchanger tube. This will switch off the
heater elements if the water temperature goes above
194 °F.
If the cut-out trips it will need to be reset manually inside
the unit. This cut-out will only operate in exceptional
