Getting Started

1.   Check box for damage. Damages caused in shipment must be reported immediately. 

2.  Make sure you have all the parts:

Please note: included parts and accessories may vary depending on country and regulations.

All accessories come with a 30 day manufacturers warranty

3.  If the vent shield is included in your model, attach the vent shield securely to the top of your 

portable tankless water heater by sliding the shield into the designated slots.

4.  If using a standard garden hose, attach the 1/2” NPT to garden hose adapter to the fitting marked 

‘Water Input”. Use Sealant tape or other approved sealing method on the threads for a secure, water 

tight fit. Check to make sure the screen inside the water inlet is in place and clean. Then attach your 

water input/garden hose.

5.  Install gas supply line and regulator to the portable tankless water heater by using 2 wrenches, 

one on the compression fitting already attached to the water heater and the other on the gas line. 

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. OVER TIGHTING MAY CRACK THE GAS REGULATOR CAUSING A GAS LEAK! 

Check for any gas leak before ignition! Make sure the gas connection is secured.

6.  Attach the shower nozzle hose to the water output to the fitting marked ‘Water Outlet.’ Do not 

over tighten.

7.  Install two D Cell batteries in the compartment on the bottom left of the heater. Check that 

batteries are facing the correct direction.

8.  Use the top tab on the portable tankless water heater to suspend from a mounted screw capable 

of holding 30 pounds. Place at a comfortable height without putting stress on the gas hose. Do not 

use suspended from the handle! Do not permanently mount this portable tankless water heater!

9.  Attach gas regulator with hose to the LP tank. Use hand pressure only on the plastic connector. 

LEAVE GAS TANK VALVE IN THE “OFF” POSITION. 

Before going to the USE section:

Check around area for flammables, especially gasoline or other vapors which may ignite. The Exhaust and 

top of the portable tankless water heater will get HOT! Make sure there are no foreign objects around the
