Check Water Heater Coil For Leaks
With the burner “OFF” start the pumping machine and
allow to run for a few minutes. Look into the burner
compartment with a drop light or flashlight. If no leak is
visible, then subsequent water dripping from the coil
will be from condensation in the flue gases when the
burner is on, as described in the previous paragraph.
Instructions for lighting
WARNING: If “NO” has been checked on any of the
above questions, do not operate.
WARNING: If you do not follow
instructions exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury
or loss of life.
1.
This machine has a pilot which
must be lighted by hand. When
lighting the pilot, follow these
instructions exactly.
2.
BEFORE LIGHTING
smell all around the
appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the
floor because propane gas is heavier than air and
will settle on the floor.
For your safety:
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
a.
Do not try to light any appliance.
b.
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use
any phone in your building.
c.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neigh-
bor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instruc-
tions.
d.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the
fire department.
3.
Use only your hand to push in or turn gas control
knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in
or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified
service technician. Force or attempted repair may
result in a fire or explosion.
4.
Do not use this machine if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service techni-
cian to inspect the machine and to replace any part
of the control system or any gas control that has
been under water.
