To operate the unit, follow these steps:
STEP 1
Turn on the freshwater pump at the main Firefly
network interface display to use onboard water, or
connect to city water;
STEP 2
Turn on the power to the water heater by pressing the
“On/Off” button (number 7);
STEP 3
Open a faucet or shower fixture and allow water to flow
from the hot water side� Once the heater senses �5
gallons / minute of flow it will ignite the burner and you
will see a flame icon appear on the display (number
2). The burner will make three attempts to ignite after
which it will lock out� If a lockout occurs you will receive
an “Error” notification on the screen. If this occurs, turn
off the water and the power button� Let the unit sit for a
moment and retry�
STEP 4
Adjust the water temperature to the desired setting�
The unit is factory set to 120°F, but may be adjusted by
pressing the appropriate button (number 9 “Up” or 10
“Down”); and,
STEP 5
Operate your water and shower fixtures as you would
at home, using the hot and cold water levers to adjust
the temperature to the desired setting� Keep in mind
that turning the hot water lever down too low will cause
the flow rate to drop below .5 gallons / minute. If that
occurs, the hot water heater’s burner will shut off�
NOTE
Turning off the shower water flow with the shower head lever
will cause the water heater to shut off, since the lever stops
all water flow through the hot water line.
