inside lid panel of the heater. See 

Figure 16

 WARNING

If you do not follow the instructions below exactly, a fire or explosion 

may result, causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

8.2 

Important Safety Information

Read Before You Start:

•  This appliance does not have a pilot light. It is 

equipped with an ignition device, which 

automatically lights the heater. Do NOT try to light 
the burners by hand.

•  BEFORE OPERATING

, smell all around the 

appliance for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor 

because some gas is heavier than air and will settle 

on the floor.

8.2.1 

What To Do If You Smell Gas

•  Do not try to light any appliance.
•  Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any 

phone in your building.

• 

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s 

phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

•  If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the Fire 

Department.

•  Use only your hand to switch on or off the gas 

control switch. Never use tools. If the switch appears 

broken or will not move, don’t try to repair it, call a 

qualified service technician. Force or attempted 

repair may result in fire or explosion.

•  Do not use this appliance if any part has been under 

water. Immediately call a qualified service technician 

to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the 
control system which has been under water.

8.3 

First-Time Start-Up Procedure

 WARNING

Vent pipes and heater tops get hot! These surfaces can cause 
serious burns. Do not touch these surfaces while the heater is in 
operation.
Do not use this heater if any part has been under water. Immediately 

call a qualified service technician to inspect the heater and replace 

any part of the control system and any gas control which has been 
under water.
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off 
the manual gas control valve to the heater.
Do not attempt repairs on the gas controls or appliance. Tampering 
is dangerous and voids all warranties

• 

Confirm that pool water is flowing normally through 

the pool system and equipment. 

• 

If it is a new pool or spa installation, operate the filter 

pump with the heater off long enough to completely 
clean the water. This will remove any installation 
residue from the water. 

• 

Clean the filter before starting the heater.

•  Start the heater in either Pool or Spa mode. See 

Figure 16

.

•  Start the heater. See 

Figure 16.

• 

When the heater starts, confirm there is adequate 

water flow. See 

Section 5 

for details.
