As with all water heaters of this type, cold water entering from the inlet valve
displaces the hot water stored in the tank. it is normal for the spout to drip
slightly during the heating cycle, caused by the water expanding as it heats up.
Over-tightening the tap will not stop the dripping and may result in damage.

• Open the inlet tap fully until water flows smoothly from the spout then close.
Do not switch power on until unit is full.
• Switch on power to the unit and select the desired temperature setting1.
The indicator is lit when the element is on.
