Electrical connection
The two heating units are wired for
non-simultaneous operation, so that
only one heating unit can operate at
a time. The bottom heating unit is
usually connected to an Off-Peak
(overnight) or time controlled
electricity supply and the top
heating unit to a continuous supply.
Some electricity suppliers allow
both heating units to be metered at
the Off-Peak or controlled tariff.

GOING ON HOLIDAY?
If you plan to be away from home for one or two nights, we suggest you leave
the water heater switched on. However, if you plan to stay away more than a
few nights, conserve energy by switching the water heater off at either the
switchboard or isolating switch.
