When these messages appear and/or the water heater will lock out, it means that there is not enough flow over the water heater. In this case
check the pump is operating correctly.
The water heater has a built in water pressure switch. If water pressure of the system drops under a certain limit, the water heater will go in a
lock-out.
During and after the commissioning of the water heater, the operation of the water heater pump must be checked, before leaving the installation
room.
Always check the pump is running before firing the water heater.

SUPPLY. See 3.0 for details on the position of the gas connection.

WATER CONNECTIONS

For design see
WATER CONNECTIONS
The system should be thoroughly flushed out with cold water without any circulating pump in position. Ensure all the valves are
open.
If a return pump is to be fitted, it should be fitted before the system is filled and air locks cleared. Check the system for leaks and repair as
necessary. If the system is configured in an unvented arrangement, check the expansion vessel cushion pressure.
