LIGHTING GAS WATER HEATERS
Caution:
Do not light the water heater until it
has been filled with water (see Filling
the Water Heater on page 8).
Do not attempt to light the water heater
if the pilot is out and the knob is in
the “ON” position (one of the number
settings). Follow the steps below.
Do not look directly into the burner
area. Keep your head above the top of
the access cover opening. Use a mirror
to observe the flame.
Lighting Procedure:
The diagram on page 8 shows the
location of the control knob and the
igniter button on the gas control valve.
1. Remove the access cover. (A copy
of the lighting procedure can also
be found on the inside of the access
cover).
2. Turn the control knob fully
clockwise to the “•” (off) position.
3. Wait five (5) minutes so any build-
up of unburnt gas can escape.
4. Turn the control knob to the
(pilot) position.
5. Depress the control knob fully (until
disappears below housing) and
after thirty (30) seconds, whilst
keeping the control knob depressed,
repeatedly press the igniter button
(for up to 40 seconds) until the pilot
flame ignites.
Note - it is not possible to depress
the control knob fully if the gas
control valve has activated its
safety shutoff feature. In this case,
wait sixty (60) seconds for the gas
control valve to reset.
6. Keep the control knob depressed
for twenty (20) seconds after the
pilot flame lights. Use a mirror to
observe the pilot flame. Do not
attempt to observe the flame
directly.
7. Release the control knob and check
the pilot is still alight.
8. If the pilot has failed to light or has
not remained alight, turn the control
knob to “•” (off). Wait five (5)
minutes for the escape of unburnt
gas, then begin again at step 4.
9. When the pilot flame remains alight
with the control knob released,
turn the control knob anticlockwise
to one of the number settings.
A minimum setting of “6” is
recommended and this will give a
water temperature of about 60°C.
10. Turn the control knob to a
higher number for higher water
temperatures.
11. If the main burner does not light
at the selected setting, the water
may already be at the selected
temperature.
12. Replace the access cover and
ensure it is firmly in position.
