(1)  Open a hot water fixture and confirm that the Burner On lamp comes on, and that hot water is 

being produced. (If necessary, repeat until the air in the gas piping is bled out).

*  White smoke may be noticed from the exhaust vent during cold weather. However, this is not a 

malfunction of the unit.

*  If an “11” error code appears on the Display Window, close a hot water fixture and then back 

on again, and then open a hot water fixture again.

(2)  Using the optional remote controller, change the temperature setting on the remote controller and 

check that the water temperature changes.

•  If the water heater does not operate normally, refer to “Troubleshooting” in the Owner’s Guide.

*  After the trial operation, clean the filter in the cold water inlet.

Maintenance

Periodically check the following to ensure proper

operation of the water heater.

•  The venting system must be examined periodically by a qualified service technician to check for 

any leaks or corrosion.

•  The burner flame must be checked periodically for a proper blue color and consistency. 
•  If the flame does not appear normal, the burner may need to be cleaned.
•  If the burner needs to be cleaned, it must be performed by a qualified service technician.
•  Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

•  The pressure relief valve must be operated once a year to ensure that it is functioning properly and 

there is no obstruction. Turn the power off to the unit before opening the relief valve, and make sure 

that water draining out of the valve will not cause any damage.

•  If the relief valve discharges periodically, it may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water system. 

Contact the water supplier or a local plumbing inspector on how to correct this situation. 

  Do not plug the relief valve.
•  See Operation Manual for further maintenance.

Warning: 

There is a scald potential if the output temperature is set too high.

 

Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance.

 

Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service  technician 

to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has 

been under water.

 

Periodically check and clean the filter inside the cold water inlet of the unit.

Trial Operation

The installer should test operate the unit, explain to

the customer how to use the unit, and give the Owner’s 

Guide before leaving the installation.

•  Preparation ........... (1)  Open a hot water fixture to confirm that water is available, and then close 

the fixture.

  

(2)  Open the gas supply valve.

  

(3)  Turn on the power supply. 

  

 

Using the optional remote controller, turn on the Power On/Off button (the 

Operation lamp will turn on).

Handling after trial operation

•  If the unit will not be used immediately, close off all gas and water shutoff valves, drain all of  

the water out of the unit and the plumbing system to prevent the unit and system from freezing, 

and bleed the gas out of the gas line.

  Freezing is not covered by the warranty.
