- After installation is complete, open the battery compartment located at the bottom
of the unit and install two D Cell batteries. Check the door of the battery
compartment for correct battery position.
- Open the hot water on a nearby faucet. Confirm proper water flow through the
unit and out of the faucet. (You should hear a “clicking” sound from the unit-this is
the ignitor activating). Turn the water back off.
- Start the gas supply. Check again for gas leaks using soapy water and correct as
necessary.
- Open the hot water faucet. You should hear the ignition clicking, and hot water
should begin flowing. Sometimes, if there is air in either the water or gas supply
lines, you will not get immediate combustion. If this is the case, turn the water on
and off several times to clear the water and gas lines of any air pockets that may be
present.
- All water heaters have a seasonal summer/winter switch to meet your water
temperature needs. This is because extra heating may be required when incoming
water temperatures are lower (winter), and less heating is required when incoming
water temperatures are higher (summer). Use the summer setting when incoming
water temperatures are a little higher. Use the winter setting when incoming water
temperatures are a little lower.
- When the water supply is turned off, the water heater will stop working. When you
turn the water back on, the water heater will reignite. Please note that if you use the
hot water multiple times in quick succession, the water may be excessively hot for
one or two seconds. Please wait for the temperature to adjust before using.
- If you close the water inlet valve or the water outlet valve, the water heater will shut
off immediately. Shut off the gas supply after use.
- Attach the second 45 degree elbow on the other side of the wall, turning the angle
upward to run parallel with the wall. Install the second piece of flute pipe into the
elbow, parallel to the outside wall. Utilize galvanized steel brackets or clamps as
necessary to secure the piping. Install the rain/wind cap on top of the second piece
of exhaust pipe..
- Install a condensation drain on the portion of pipe located outside the structure.
- Through the roof installations: Use one piece of straight pipe, 60” or shorter, a
wind/rain cap and a condensation drain. Attach directly to the outlet of the unit (16L
units), or using the coupler supplied (5L and 10L units).
- Drill a hole through the roof and ceiling slightly larger than the vent pipe diameter.
Attach pipe to the top of the unit and go straight up and out the roof. Install
rain/wind cap on top of vent pipe. Total vertical distance must not exceed 60”. Roof
clearance must be at least 12”.
- Fresh air intake: The room in which the heater is located must have an air inlet not
less than .75 square feet (roughly 9” x 12” or larger).
**Note: If your situation requires a vent pipe distance of longer than 60”, a low CFM duct
booster fan may need to be employed to ensure proper venting of the unit.
