LIGHTING THE WATER HEATER
45
Note:
The next steps will cause the main burner to light, if the water in the tank
needs heating. The flames may be noisy at first. This is normal and will
cease after 2-5 seconds.
8. Depress the gas knob slightly and turn it anticlockwise so the red line
“
l
” (ignition position) faces the front, aligning with the gas knob position
indicator, and hold there for five (5) seconds.
9. Release the gas knob (the gas knob will automatically turn to the red flame
“ ” (on) position), and listen for the burner noise.
10. If the burner fails to light, depress the gas knob slightly and turn it to the
white dot “
” (off) position. Wait five (5) minutes for any unburnt gas to
escape and then begin again at step 5.
Warning:
Failure to wait five (5) minutes may result in a fire or
dangerous situation.
11. When the burner remains alight with the gas knob released, turn the
temperature dial so the setting of mid way between ‘3’ and ‘4’ is at the top
of the dial, aligning with temperature dial position indicator. This is the
recommended setting and will give a water temperature of about 60°C.
12. Turn the temperature dial past this position to a higher number setting if a
higher water temperature is required. Refer to “Temperature Adjustment” on
page 13.
13. Replace the access cover.
The main burner will now automatically ignite when heating is required and
extinguish when the water has been heated to the set temperature. If the main
burner does not light at the selected setting, the water may already be at the
selected temperature.
