Electronic Ignition

The Bambi is equipped with a continuous water

selection arrow to see current setting� Select desired
temperature using the up and down arrow� Turn on the
hot water faucet�

and in the bathroom on all other models� Normally,
the burner will ignite in just a few seconds unless your
LPG system has not been used for some time and
air has filled the lines. The system will go into safety
lockout, after 3 failed ignition attempts, before the air
is expelled. If this happens and error code of "E1" will
appear on the screen� Turning the Water Heater off for
30 seconds and then back on reinstates the ignition
mode system's�

NOTE
Review the water heater literature supplied in your
owner's packet before proceeding.
NOTE
The water heater will not operate until a faucet is
opened with a minimum water flow of .8 gallons per
minute. This process could take up to 60 seconds
to register.
The water heater has built-in FREEZE
PROTECTION and will intermittently cycle the
burner when the water temperature reaches 3°C/
38°F. To provide this freeze protection, the gas
supply must be on, gas must be available and
electrical power must be on.
CAUTION
This appliance does not have a pilot. It is equipped
with an ignition device which automatically lights
the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.
It is dangerous to operate a Tankless Water Heater
Unattended. This may occur accidentally if a
sufficient leak develops or if a faucet is left open.
