Caution
DO NOT OPERATE THE WATER HEATER UNTIL THE
STORAGE VESSEL IS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH
WATER, WITH WATER RUNNING FROM ALL HOT
TAPS.
Open the main gas supply cock after all connections to
the gas control are completed. Test all connections,
using propriety leak detection fluid.
1. Close the water heater drain valve.
2. Open the cold water supply valve.
3. Open several hot water taps to allow air to escape from
system.
4. When a steady stream of water flows from the taps, the
heater is filled.
5. Close the taps and check for leaks at the drain valve,
temperature/pressure relief valve and the hot and cold
water connections.
For your safety, read this section prior to lighting the appliance.
Warning
1. Always follow manufacturer's instructions when
lighting the appliance. Failure to do so may result in
damage to property, personal injury or loss of life.
2. Before lighting, check all around the appliance area
for gas. Be sure to check at low level because some
gas (i.e. LPG) is heavier than air and will settle on
the floor.
3. DO NOT make any attempt to re-light the appliance
if the main burner has extinguished. Wait at least 5
minutes to allow for any unburnt gas to disperse.
Ventilate the area if possible.
