Adjustment

The main burner pressure must be 
set at installation in accordance 
with that marked on the Data 
Plate. Adjust the Gas Control as 
required to achieve specified gas 
test point pressure. If problems are 
encountered in this process contact 
the Dux Service Department. 

Failure to accurately set the pressure can 
result in damage to the water heater, and 
automatically cancels the Manufacturer’s 
Warranty. This water heater is to be 
installed only by an Authorised Person.
The pressure is best checked by 

connecting a water manometer or 
equivalent to the test point nipple. 

The 

test point pressure must comply 
with the value on the Data Label.

If adjustment is necessary, follow the 
instructions below:
1.  Remove the securing screw (1) from 

the top of the Gas Control and lift 
the plastic cover (2) upwards.

2.  Locate the regulator adjustment 

screw on the lower left hand side of 
the Gas Control (3).

3.  Light the burner. Rotate adjustment 

screw clockwise to increase, or anti-
clockwise to decrease pressure.

4.  Replace the plastic cover and 

securing screw.

5.  Replace the test point nipple 

blanking screw and test for gas 
leaks.
