Reduced flow at the outlet will result in hotter water being delivered. 5.2 On closing the outlet valve the heating element will automatically shut down provided this tap has been fully turned off by the user. SETTING FLOW RATE 5.3 To set the flow rate, make sure the water and power are turned off. Open the outlet valve fully (see figure 3) and close the flow...
6.0 MULTIPLE INSTALLATION 6.1 When larger volumes of water are required than can be provided by one heater, multiple installations can be made by connecting a number of heaters in PARALLEL of the cold feed manifold (See Figure 6). This is the ONLY method that is recommended provided all heaters receive acceptable flow rates (2.5ltr/min recommended). DO NOT plumb these heaters in series. 6.2 To set the heaters in this arrangement use the appropriate procedure as described previously. Each heater in parallel must be set individually. 6.3 In this application restrictors capable of closing flow completely should be used so that as each heater is set in turn, the other heaters in the installation may be isolated.
