2. Install the heater into the water tank or cylinder using the O-ring or gasket supplied. Use a shaped immersion heater spanner- Stillsons should not be used. The heater may be installed into a tank of any size, suitable to take this heater when installed in a horizontal manner, the heater must operate below water level, such as a cistern-fed or mains regulated tank, if applicable.
3. It is essential that the installer checks that the water level within the tank or cylinder is such that the water will always fully cover the heating element by a depth of at least 100mm. Under NO circumstances must the heater be allowed to run dry – serious damage may result to the heater in addition to danger of personal injury and damage to property.
