EcoSpring ES300 Installation & Owner's Manual - Hot Water Can Be Dangerous
HOT WATER CAN BE DANGEROUS
Warning – Hot water burns. As a safety precaution, young children should always be supervised around
hot water fixtures.
Heat pump water heaters can store water at temperatures that can cause scalding. Water temperatures
over 50°C can scald and care needs to be taken to ensure that injuries do not occur through incorrect
use of your water heater.
As heat pump water heaters can generate water temperatures in excess of 60°C, regulations require
that a tempering valve be fitted to the heater to prevent water temperatures going to the home exceed-
ing a preset safe maximum. The tempering valve must be connected to the hot water outlet line from
the water heater. The valve must be fitted by an authorized plumber at the time of installation or in retro-
fitting to existing systems.
Care should be taken to avoid coming into contact with any pipe work or fixtures associated with the
water heater pipe lines.
Under NO circumstances should any ‘home handy man’ type modifications be
attempted.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, that prevents them from using the appli-
ance safely without supervision or instruction. Children should be supervised by a responsible
person for their safety to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• DANGER: Failure to operate the relief valve easing gear at least once every six months may result
in the water heater exploding. Continuous leakage of water from the valve may indicate a problem
with the water heater.
