FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING:

 

If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or

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

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

department.

C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control

knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn
by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified service
technician . Force or attempted repair may result in a fire
or explosion.

D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under

water. Immediately contact a qualified installer or service
agency to replace a flooded water heater. Do not attempt
to repair the unit! It must be replaced!

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Set thermostat to the lowest setting (PILOT LIGHTING).

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE

BEFORE OPERATING: ENTIRE SYSTEM MUST BE FILLED WITH WATER AND AIR PURGED FROM ALL LINES

.

1.

STOP!   Read the safety information
above on this label.

2.

Set the thermostat to lowest setting (PILOT LIGHTING).
Turn thermostat dial fully clockwise  

  until it stops.

3.

Push the gas control knob down slightly and turn clockwise

  to “OFF”, see Figure “A”..

NOTE:

 Knob CANNOT be turned from “PILOT” to “OFF”

unless it is pushed down slightly.  Do not force.

4.

Remove the outer burner door located below the gas
control.

5.

Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas.  If you then

smell gas, 

 STOP!  Follow “B” in the safety information

above on  this label. If you don’t smell gas, go to next step.

6.

This unit is equipped with a push button pilot ignitor, which
is used to light the pilot. Locate the ignitor on the gas
control.

7.

Turn gas control knob counterclockwise 

  to “PILOT”,

see Figure “B”.

8.

The pilot is located on the right side of the burner. It can be
located by looking through the glass view port while
pressing the piezo ignitor button several times. Look for a
spark at the pilot location, see Figure “D”.

9.

Once the pilot has been found, push the gas knob all the
way down.  Immediately press the pilot ignitor button rapidly
(4) to (5) times. If the pilot will not light, repeat step (3)
through (9).

10. Continue to hold the gas control knob down for about one

(1) minute after the pilot is lit. Release the gas control knob
and it will pop back up. Pilot should remain lit. If it goes out,
repeat step (3) through (9). It may take several minutes for
air to clear the lines before the pilot will light.
• If knob does not pop up when released, stop and

immediately call your service technician or gas supplier.

• If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas

control knob clockwise 

 to “OFF” and call your service

technician or gas supplier, see Figure “A”.

11. Once the pilot flame is established replace the outer burner

door.

12. At arms length away, turn gas control knob

counterclockwise 

  to “ON”, see Figure “C”.

13. Set thermostat to desired setting.

DANGER: Hotter water increases the risk of
scald injury.  Consult the instruction manual
before changing temperature.

A. This appliance has a pilot which is lit by a piezo-electric

spark gas ignition system. Do not open the inner door of
the appliance and try to light the pilot by hand.

B.

BEFORE LIGHTING

 smell all around the appliance area

for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some
gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

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.

2. Push gas control knob down slightly and turn clockwise

 

   to “OFF”, see Figure “A”.  Do not force.
