LIGHTING THE WATER HEATER
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the gas control light the water heater as follows:
1. Stop, read the
2. Turn the gas control knob fully clockwise to the " " (off) position.
3. Wait five (5) minutes so any build up of unburnt gas can escape. If you then smell gas, stop and
follow "C" in the safety information. If you do not smell gas, proceed to step 4.
4. Turn the knob to the " " (pilot) position.
5. Depress the knob fully (until star disappears below housing) and after 30 seconds, whilst keeping
the knob depressed, repeatedly press the igniter button (for up to 40 seconds) until the pilot flame
ignites.
Warning: Keep your face clear of the combustion chamber opening while pressing the igniter.
Note: It is not possible to depress the knob fully if the gas control has activated its safety shut-off
feature. In this case, wait 60 seconds for the gas control to reset.
6. Keep the knob depressed for 20 seconds after the pilot flame lights. The pilot can be checked by
looking through the large opening below the gas control.
7. Release the knob and check the pilot is still alight.
8. If the pilot has failed to light or has not remained alight, turn the gas control knob to the " " (off)
position. Wait five (5) minutes for any unburnt gas to escape and then begin again at step 3.
Warning: Failure to wait five (5) minutes may result in a fire or explosion.
9. When the pilot flame remains alight with the gas control knob released, turn the knob
anticlockwise to the setting of "6". This will give a water temperature of about 60°C.
Solahart recommends the thermostat is set at 60°C to maximise solar contribution.
10. Refer to "Temperature Adjustment"
11. Replace the access cover.
The main burner will now automatically ignite during the set timer period when heating is required and
extinguish when the water has been heated to the set temperature. If the main burner does not light at
the selected setting, the water may already be at the selected temperature.
Note: Never press the igniter button while the top knob is in a numbered position.
