INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Commissioning
Once the gas water heater installation has been completed, it is necessary to
commission the appliance as follows:
1. Gas supply installation:
Inspect the entire installation including the meter, test for tightness and purge
in accordance with current regulation.
2. Water supply installation:
Inspect the water pipe installation for water tightness.
3. Make sure that type of gas complies with the type of gas stated on the rating
label.
4. Open the air inlet in the room.
5. Check if the exhaust flue pipe is correctly installed.
Lighting the appliance for the first time:
1. Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the gas water heater and put
two batteries in (2 x type D battery). Insert batteries correctly.
2. Ensure that the gas inlet valve and cold water inlet valve below the appliance
are open.
3. Open the hot water tap and ensure that air is purged from the appliance and
the pipes.
4. Turn on the on / off switch.
5. Turn the gas regulating knob to its maximum position.
6. Turn on a hot water tap.
The appliance will attempt to ignite, should this fail due to air in the gas pipe.
Several ignition attempts may be required to light the gas for the first time. If a
problem comes up after normal operation, turn off the water immediately. Re-
try 10-20 seconds later to avoid ‘pop’ burning.
Do not touch the housing of the gas water heater during operation. During
operation only setting knobs can be touched.
Risk of scalding.
