Operating the Water Heater.

Turning on the Water Heater

1.   Make sure the gas type you will use is same as the type on the data plate.

2.   Turn on the main gas valve, plug in the power cord (be sure the socket is well grounded), and

      press the “ON/OFF”button on the control panel. Set temperature to 120° F.

3.   Turn on the faucet, and the fan will begin working. You will hear the ignition sound after a few

      seconds. The burner will ignite, and hot water will come out. If the burner is not ignited

      successfully, the ignition sound will last a few seconds. If the burner still fails to ignite, turn 

      off the faucet and wait for 10-20 seconds, and repeat the above procedures.

For first use and/or if the water heater has not been used for a considerable period of time, the 

repeat of the above procedures may be required, due to accumulated air inside the gas pipe.
