Lighting the Water Heater

The water heater must be filled with 
water before lighting. Instructions for 
lighting procedure are on the inside of 
the access cover and shown below:

1.  Turn the knob fully clockwise to the 

“•” (off) position.

2.  Wait five (5) minutes so any build-up 

of unburnt gas can escape.

3.  Turn the knob to the 

 (pilot) 

position.

Thermostat and 

gas control knob

Igniter

4.  Depress the knob fully (until 

 

disappears below housing) and after 
thirty (30) seconds, whilst keeping 
the knob depressed, repeatedly 
press the igniter button (for up to 40 
seconds) until the pilot flame ignites.

Note:

 It is not possible to depress 

the knob fully if the gas control has 
activated its safety shut-off feature. 
In this case, wait 60 seconds for the 
gas control to reset.

5.  Keep the knob depressed for 

twenty (20) seconds after the pilot 
flame lights. The pilot flame can 
be observed if a mirror is placed 
directly below the pilot assembly.

6.  Release the knob and check if the 

pilot is still alight. 

7.  If pilot has failed to light or has not 

remained alight, turn gas control 
knob to “•” (off). Wait five (5) 
minutes for the escape of unburnt 
gas, then begin again at step 3.

8.  When the pilot flame remains alight 

with the knob released, turn the 
knob anticlockwise to one of the 
number settings. A setting of “6” is 
recommended and this will give a 
water temperature of about 60ºC.
