ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

Notes
If the adjustable water mixing valve
is set on the lowest setting (position „1‟)
and the delivered water temperature is still too hot, then reduce the
thermostat setting on the gas control and wait twenty four (24) hours before
repeating the procedure above. Refer to
“Gas Control Temperature Dial”
on
page 7 for information on adjusting the thermostat setting.
The delivered water temperature should be checked periodically at a hot
water tap. The incoming cold water temperature can vary from summer to
winter. This change in cold water temperature will affect the delivered mixed
water temperature. The water mixing valve may require adjustment between
summer and winter or other seasons of the year.
Warning:
Small changes to the adjustable water mixing valve setting can
lead to significant water temperature changes. Changing the
valve‟s setting or
the water heater
‟s thermostat setting will cause the water delivery temperature
to be altered. If either of these settings is altered, the water mixing valve
adjustment procedure must be repeated to ensure the delivered hot water
temperature is satisfactory.
PIEZO IGNITION
The “Piezo” push button igniter makes lighting
the pilot flame of your water heater very easy.
Simply follow the instructions on the label
attached to the back of the access door.
There is no need for matches to light the
water heater.
PILOT IGNITER
A permanent pilot flame burns to ignite the
main burner automatically. Heat from the pilot
is absorbed by the water.
GOING ON HOLIDAYS
If you plan to be away from home for one or two nights, we suggest you leave
the water heater turned on. However, if you plan to stay away more than a few
nights, the gas knob
can be set to the red star “ ” (pilot) position (facing the
front) to conserve energy (refer to steps 1, 2 and 4 of
“Close Down Procedure”
on page 43).
If it is necessary to turn off the water heater, refer to
“To Turn Off The Water
Heater”
on page 10.
Note:
When turned back on from the
red star “ ” (pilot) position or white dot
“
” (off) position, the water heater may take up to an hour to reheat if the water
has lost temperature.
