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 4).
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.
Important Safety Note:
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 the next page 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.
