Lighting the Water Heater

Caution:
Do not light the water heater until it has
been filled with water (see Filling the
Water Heater on page 7).
Do not attempt to light the water heater
if the pilot is out and the knob is in
the "ON" position (one of the number
settings). Follow the steps below.
Lighting Procedure:
The diagram on the next page shows
the location of the control knob and the
igniter button on the gas control valve.
1. Remove the access cover. (A copy of
the lighting procedure can also be
found on the inside of the access
cover).
2. Turn the control knob fully clockwise to
the "•" (off) position.
3. Wait five (5) minutes so any build up of
unburnt gas can escape.
4. Turn the control knob to the
position.
5. Depress the control knob fully (until
disappears below housing) and after
thirty (30) seconds, whilst keeping the
control knob depressed, repeatedly
press the igniter button (for up to 40
seconds) until the pilot flame ignites.
Note - it is not possible to depress the
control knob fully if the gas control valve
has activated its safety shutoff feature.
In this case, wait sixty (60) seconds for
the gas control valve to reset.

6. Keep the control knob depressed for
twenty (20) seconds after the pilot
flame lights. The pilot flame can be
observed if a mirror is placed directly
below the pilot assembly.
7. Release the control knob and check
that the pilot is still alight.
8. If the pilot has failed to light or has not
remained alight, turn the control knob
to "•" (off). Wait five (5) minutes for the
escape of unburnt gas, then begin
again at step 4.
9. When the pilot flame remains alight
with the control knob released, turn
the control knob anticlockwise to one
of the number settings. A minimum
setting of "6" is recommended and
this will give a water temperature of
about 60°C.
10. Turn the control knob to a
higher number for higher water
temperatures.

11. If the main burner does not light
at the selected setting, the water
may already be at the selected
temperature.
12. Replace the access cover and ensure
that it is firmly in position.
