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.
