Getting Started
1. Check box for damage. Damages caused in shipment must be reported immediately.
2. Make sure you have all the parts:
a. Water heater
b. Hardware pack
3. For European models, attached your water source hose to the far right connection. Use Pipe tape
or other approved sealing method on the threads for a secure, water tight fit. Check to make sure
the screen inside the water inlet is in place and clean. Then attach your water input.
4. Install gas supply line and regulator to the unit. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. OVER TIGHTENING MAY
CRACK THE GAS REGULATOR CAUSING A GAS LEAK! Check for any gas smell before ignition! Make
sure it is screwed all the way on. For European models, ensure that the black rubber washer is
securely in the gas input connection.
5. Attach your water output apparatus to the fitting marked “Water Outlet”. Do not over tighten! If
installing in an existing water system, connect the hot water line directly to the ½” BSP fitting.
6. Install two “D” cell batteries in the compartment on the bottom left of the heater. Check that
batteries are facing the correct direction.
7. Use the top tab on the unit to suspend from a screw adequate to holding 30 pounds/13 KG. Place
at a comfortable height without putting stress on the gas hose. If the unit is to be permanently
mounted, use screws to attach the bottom tab firmly.
8. This unit requires venting for safe removal of exhaust gas.
9. Vent pipe (not included) must be installed according to local codes and follow vent manufactures
instructions and specifications. Professional venting insulation recommended.
10. Insure that there is no blockage of vent pipe or termination.
Before going to the USE section:
Check around area for flammables, especially gasoline or other vapors which may ignite. The
exhaust and top of the unit will get HOT! Make sure there are no foreign objects around the unit or
have fallen into the top.
