Operation - Girard Products GSWH-1 Owner's Manual

Operation

Open the door of the Girard Products model
GSWH-1 to acquaint yourself with the unit
and its controls. The small user panel located
on the left side of the unit (see Figure 7)
includes:
1. LED Indicator
2. Power ON/OFF switch
To begin operation simply set the switch to the 'ON' position (Figure 7), set the Mode switch
(Figure 5) to the HIGH position, AND open the HOT WATER faucet you want to use. The unit
will automatically light and start heating your water. DO NOT use cold water to adjust the
temperature.
To begin, it is recommended that the Mode Switch is set to the HIGH position. If after water flow
adjustments, the water is too hot, then turn the Mode Switch to LOW setting. The temperature of
the incoming water and the flow of the water will determine whether HIGH Mode or LOW Mode
is the desired setting.
You will notice that if you increase the flow of hot water (i.e., open the faucet more)
the temperature will automatically DECREASE since more water is being heated.
If, on the other hand, you decrease the water flow (close the faucet) the temperature
will INCREASE. DO NOT TURN ON THE COLD WATER. If you reduce the water flow
too much, which will result in HOTTER water, the rising temperature will increase and
trigger the Safety Cut Off or 'limit switch' (122°F) and the burner will shut off. This is
commonly referred to as "limiting" and is a safety feature designed to protect against
accidental scalding. Whenever the temperature rises to a
comfortable level, INCREASE the water flow (open the faucet) to maintain the desired
temperature and prevent the burner from shutting off (limiting).
If a shut off does occur, you will notice a decrease in the water temperature. In this
case do not close the faucet, but rather open it more and the water heater will
relight after a few seconds; you may then re-adjust the temperature by reducing the
flow appropriately (i.e., less than the previous setting to avoid repeated limiting).
