Using the PowerStar WARNING Do not use the unit if you think it may be frozen, as this could result in serious damage to the unit. Wait until you are sure that it has completely thawed out before you switch it on. • Check that the power is switched on at the circuit breaker panel. • Turn on the hot water faucet FULLY. The hot water temperature can be changed by adjusting the temperature dial on the bottom surface of the unit. (The dial adjusts the temperature typically between 95°F and 131°F. The factory sets the temperature dial at the lowest position.) • There are internal safety thermal cut-outs which will operate if the unit overheats. If a thermal cutout trips, then it must be reset by a qualified electrician. • If the unit has been used recently, run the water through for a few seconds to let the temperature settle down. You may initially get a short burst of very hot water from the unit. • If a second outlet connected to the unit is also turned on, the hot water will be shared between the two. Installing the PowerStar WARNING IMPORTANT Do not install the unit in a room where there Read entire instructions. is a chance of freezing. Check the pressure of the main water supply. To operate correctly, the unit needs the following running pressures : Minimum: 15 psi (1 Bar) Maximum: 150 psi (10 Bar) Securing the unit to the wall Diagram 1 A E115 Unit AE125 Unit WARNING The unit must only be installed in the orientation shown in Diagram 1, i.e., mounted in a vertical position with the water fittings located at the bottom of the unit. Under no circumstancesshouldtheunitbe mounted differently. • If being used in a public place, position the unit out of easy reach to discourage vandalism. • Mount the unit onto a flat section of wall, well away from any potential splashes of water or spray. • Position the unit upright with all plumbing and electrical connections at the bottom of the unit. Mounting on the wall • Undo the retaining screws on the front cover and take the cover off the unit. Hold the back plate in position against the wall and mark the four mounting holes. • Drill the holes and secure the unit using the four wood screws supplied or an appropriate alternative method. Plumbing the unit WARNING Do not install a non-return check valve within 10 feet of the inlet. Do notapply heat or solder to connectionsorpipesif they are alreadydirectly connectedtothe unit. Fitting the pipes • The unit should be connected directly to the main cold water supply and not to pre-heated water. (The inlet water temperature must not be greater than 86°F.) The unit should be installed with shutoff valves on both the inlet and outlet connections. • It is recommended that you use . inch or . inch copper or high-pressure flex connections. • Use Teflon tape for sealing pipe threads. Do NOT use pipe dope. • Remember to keep the hot water pipe runs as short as possible. • After the unit has been plumbed, and before you wire it, flush it with water to remove any debris or loose particles.
