INITIAL OPERATION
•
Check the GAS and WATER CONNECTIONS
for leaks before firing it for the first time.
•
Open the main gas supply valve to the unit using only your hand to avoid any spark.
Never use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to force it; call a qualified
service technician. Forced repair may result in a fire or explosion due to gas leaks.
•
Be sure to check next to the bottom of the unit because some gases are heavier than air
and may settle towards the floor.
•
Check the GAS PRESSURE.
Refer to p. 14.

Do not try to light the burner manually. It is equipped with an electronic ignition device
which automatically lights the burner.
