AFTER START-UP
Feel the inlet and outlet pipes. Outlet pipe should be
only slightly warmer than the inlet. It should not be hot.
WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas
supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control to
the appliance.
VISUAL INSPECTION
With the heater on, remove the door and make a
visual check of the pilot and burner.
The flame should be blue with a well-defined
pattern.

PILOT BURNER FLAME
A yellow or "floating" flame indicates restricted air
openings or incorrect orifice size. Should this occur,
shut the heater off and contact your installer or gas
supplier.
WATER PRESSURE SWITCH
A water pressure switch is provided in the heater to
shut off the burners in the event that water supply to the
heater is interrupted. It is very important to verify that
the switch electrically opens and shuts off the gas valve
when water flow to the heater is interrupted. Otherwise,
rapid and severe damage will likely occur to the heater.
(The water pressure switch should be checked and
adjusted for proper operation by a qualified service
person at the time of installation and periodically
checked thereafter. Refer to pressure switch servicing
instruction in Section 4 of this manual).
WARNING: Operation of the heater without water circu-
lation will cause rapid and severe damage to the heater.
SECTION 2/CAUTION
Elevated water temperature can be hazardous, and
the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission rec-
ommends the following guidelines:
1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never
exceed 104°F (40°C). A temperature of 100°F (38°C)
is considered safe for a healthy adult. Special
caution is suggested for young children.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa
or hot tub use can cause drowsiness which could
lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in
drowning.
3. Pregnant Women Beware! Soaking in water over
102°F (39°C) can cause fetal damage during the first
three months of pregnancy resulting in the birth of a
brain-damaged or deformed child. Pregnant women
should stick to the 100°F (38°C) maximum rule.
4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should
check the water temperature with an accurate ther-
mometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in
regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F
(2.2°C).
5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease,
circulatory problems, diabetes, or blood pressure
problems should obtain a physician's advice before
using pools or hot tubs.
6. Persons taking medications which induce drowsi-
ness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines, or anti-
coagulant, should not use spas or hot tubs.
SECTION 3/MAINTENANCE AND
CARE PROCEDURES
To be followed one month after start-up and then
semi-annually.
1. Inspect top of heater and drafthood for soot, a sticky
black substance around finned tubes and "V"
baffles), and open flue gas passage ways. Any visible
soot should be cleaned for proper operation.
CAUTION: Soot may be combustible. Wet sooted
surfaces completely prior to cleaning. Do not use steel
wire brush.
2. Clean main burners and pilot burner of dust and lint.
3. Inspect and operate all controls, gas valve and
pressure relief valve.
