Installing the 12V Pump
1. Install the pump in a suitable high and dry position to avoid any contact with
water, as the pump is not waterproof.
2. It is recommended to secure the pump to a mounting plate or bracket (not
provided).
3. Checking the direction of ow indicator arrows on the pump.
4) Connect the pump to a suitable 12 Volt power source (When not using the
Power Cable provided) Installation Tips for xed mounting:
5. Operate the pump, inspecting every joint and pipe run for leaks.
a. Using a hose clamp (supplied), connect a 1.5m length of fresh water hose
to the pump inlet. The other end of the inlet hose is located at a potable water
source.
a. It is recommended to seek a qualied auto electrician when xed mounting
of the water pump. It is important to use the correct gauge wire for the distance
from 12V power source and the current draw from the pump. Improper
installation may cause the pump to not function correctly and/or fail.
b. Be careful to properly route and secure all wiring.
c. Fuse appropriately.
d. Toggle switch with adequate amp rating is required to allow for
ON/OFF operation.
b. Using a hose clamp (supplied), connect the 1.5m length of fresh water hose
with crimped swivel tting from the pump outlet to the Gas Hot Water Shower.
Important: The pump must be NOT be installed with the motor
facing downwards.
WARNING: Do not use a 240-volt pump or other electrical appliances
where they could be affected by water.
Keep pump inlet hose (suction) and pump outlet hose (pressure) as short
as practical as not to exceed suction and pressure head. Excessive
suction or pressure head may cause damage to the pump and will void
warranty.

Operation
Now that the Gas Hot Water Shower has been prepared for our intended use, we
can set it up for operation.
1. Find a suitable sturdy, non-combustible vertical surface to hang the unit. The unit
should be at least 300mm clear from the sides, 1000mm from above and 1400mm
from below, of all combustible surfaces, fabrics, ammable materials & people.
Hang the appliance on a suitable vertical surface by the top hanger attached to
the back cover of the heater.
The appliance is ready to be connected to both the gas and the water source.
2. Connect the Gas Hose to the
LCC27 LPG cylinder. Hand-tighten the
connection in a clockwise direction.
Open gas tap on cylinder one full turn
anti-clockwise and then check the
connections for leaks with soapy water.
DO NOT use a ame. If a leak is
detected, turn the cylinder valve off
(close), check seals and retighten all
connections and retest.
3. IMPORTANT
4. Once you determine that there are
no leaks present with the gas valve
open, turn the cylinder valve to the off
(close) position.
Notice: Position the gas cylinder away and to the side of the appliance; never
place the gas cylinder directly beside or above the appliance.

| Gas Hot Water Shower
Page 15

Note 2 (Water Temperatures): For higher temperatures, increase the HEAT
SETTING control and decrease the WATER FLOW control. Switch the TEMPERATURE
CONTROL from MIN to MAX will increase the temperature further.
A temperature in excess of 50°C will activate the Over Temperature Safety Sensor
and will shut down the burners. To relight the burner you will need to either:-
- Turn the switch off on the unit and allow cool water to ow through the unit until it
drops the internal temperature low enough to reignite the burner.
- Turn the water ow and gas off, allow unit to cool for 30min then reignite.
IMPORTANT – Water remaining in the heat exchanger while the ow is stopped
may become very hot. It will require water to ow through the unit for a short time
to clear the hot water. The user must check the temperature output to ensure it is
suitable and not too hot before showering.
Note 2: When using the 12V Pump provided with the water regulator knob set
to “low”, a small amount of pulsing may be experienced at the shower rose.
This is normal.
Note 3: After use, turn the gas cylinder valve off, wait for the ame to go out,
then turn the appliance control valve off.
