(1)  Open a hot water  xture and con rm 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 remote controller, turn the unit off and then back on again, 

and then open a hot water  xture again.

(2)  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 Operation Manual.
*  After the trial operation, clean the  lter in the cold water inlet.

<If installed with a quick connect multi-system>
•  Turn the system power ON with the remote controller.
•  Slowly open a hot water  xture and check that the units ignite sequentially. Check to see that the 

hot water temperature is the same as the temperature displayed on the remote controller (*1)

* If both units do not ignite, switch which unit will ignite  rst by pressing the Max. or Min. Mani-fold
Pressure Set Button on the circuit board. (*2)

* If an 11 or F11 error code  ashes on the remote controller, hit the Power Button on the remote  

controller off and on 2 -3 times.

* If (*1) and (*2) cannot be done, the Quick Connect Cord may not be properly connected.
  Check that the cord is properly connected.

Maintenance

Periodically check the following to ensure proper
operation of the water heater.

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

any leaks or corrosion.

•  The burner  ame must be checked periodically for a proper blue color and consistency. 
•  If the  ame does not appear normal, the burner may need to be cleaned.
•  If the burner needs to be cleaned, it must be performed by a quali ed service technician.
•  Do not obstruct the  ow 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 sys-

tem. 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 quali ed service  techni-
cian 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  lter 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
this manual before leaving the installation.

Unit A Ignites
Unit B Doesn't Ignite

Press Max. or Min. Manifold
Pressure Set Button on Unit B 

Unit A Doesn't Ignite
Unit B Ignites

•  Preparation ........... (1)  Open a hot water  xture to con rm that water is available, and then close 

the  xture.

   

(2)  Open the gas supply valve.
