FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE OPERATING:
•
Check the GAS and WATER CONNECTIONS
for leaks before firing it for the first time.
• Open the main gas supply valve to the unit using only your hand to avoid any spark. Never use
tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to force it; call a qualified service technician.
Forced repair may result in a fire or explosion due to gas leaks.
• Be sure to check next to the bottom of the unit because some gases are heavier than air and
may settle towards the floor.
•
Check the GAS PRESSURE.
Refer to p. 11.
• Do not try to light the burner manually. It is equipped with an electronic ignition device which
automatically lights the burner.
•
Check for PROPER VENTING and COMBUSTIBLE AIR
to the heater.
•
Purge the GAS and WATER LINES
to remove any air pocket.
• Do not use this water heater if any part has been submersed under water. Immediately call a
qualified service technician to inspect the water heater and to replace any damaged parts.
CAUTION: IF YOU SMELL GAS:
