Working with gas can be dangerous. If you are not familiar with local building codes
and basic gas plumbing practices please employ a professional to install your water
heater.
1. Securely mount your water heater to the wall in an appropriate location using the
supplied hardware.
2. Install the venting (4" for the 5L) per local building codes and the instructions
supplied.
3. Connect the gas lines (all connections are ½"). Use yellow Teon tape at threaded
connections. Check carefully for gas leaks using soapy water and correct as necessary
before proceeding further.
4. Connect the water lines (all connections are ½"). Use ½" or ¾" pipe or tubing for the
water supply and return. If water pressure or ow rates are questionable use ¾" lines
to ensure maximum ow. You MUST use copper, CPVC or appliance tubing intended
for use in hot water applications for all hot water lines.
5. Check for and correct water leaks as necessary.
6. Install the batteries in the battery compartment. Be sure the polarity of the batter-
ies is correct.
7. Turn on the faucet and adjust the water and gas settings on the water heater as
needed for your specic environment and comfort. **USE CAUTION NOT TO GET
SCALDED WHILE ADJUSTING YOUR SETTINGS** Remember that more water ow will
usually result in less heating, and vice versa. Higher gas settings result in more heat-
ing, and vice versa.
8. Begin enjoying instant, energy ecient hot water for years to come!

3. MOUNTING SCREWS - 4 SETS
- You MUST install this water heater according to all directions and specications con-
tained in this manual. Failure to properly install the heater can result in property
damage or severe injury or death by burning, explosion, or asphyxiation due to carbon
monoxide.
- You MUST check the exhaust ue for obstructions at the initial installation and at least
annually thereafter.
- You MUST check all connections for gas leaks with soapy water before ring the unit.
This must be done at the initial install and after every propane bottle change if using an
LP model. If you detect a gas leak of any kind, DO NOT re up your unit.
- You MUST check for gas leaks by smell. Understand that LP is heavier than air and may
sink to ground level. If you detect a gas leak of any kind, DO NOT re up your unit.
- You MUST observe the unit in operation for several cycles before leaving it unattend-
ed.
- Unit MUST be hung vertically, with the water and gas connections at the bottom and
the exhaust at the top.
- You MUST use a carbon monoxide detector in conjunction with this, or any, gas burning
appliance.
- Do NOT expose the water heater to strong wind (including that from fans) or rain.
- Do NOT install the water heater near ammable or volatile substances. Do not handle
or store these substances near the heater (gasoline, acetone, motor oil, paint thinners or
any other ammable or volatile substance).
- Do NOT use tubing or piping that is aging or cracked in any way.
- Do NOT use this appliance with any type of gas other than that indicated on the data
plate located on the side of the unit. Death or severe injury may result.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS
05

- Do NOT install the water heater in a sealed room or in a room with poor air circulation.
- You MUST install the exhaust pipe to properly discharge the exhaust gases.
- Do NOT block the exhaust pipe or the air inlet at any time. This can cause incomplete
combustion and can lead to gas poisoning.
- When the water heater is in use, do NOT touch the body of the heater. Touch the
knobs only, as the body of the heater can become very hot to the the touch.
- Prevent scalds! While using the water heater, always check the water temperature and
adjust as needed before use.
WARNING! There is water contained in the coils of your water heater at all times. If your
water heater is exposed to freezing temperatures, the water in the coils could freeze,
causing a break in the heat exchanger of the unit, or the supply and return lines. This
kind of damage will result in water running freely into the space where the water
heater is located, with can cause ooding. If your water heater is installed in a geo-
graphic location that sees very low sustained temperatures, you MUST install a back-
ow preventer on your heater's vent pipe. This will ensure that cold air cannot fall
down into the water heater and cause freezing damage. DO NOT install this water
heater where it may be subjected to a freeze. If your water heater is in an area where
freezing is a possibility, you must turn o the water to the heater and drain it of any
water by using the valve stem at the bottom of the unit and disconnecting the warm
water line. Leave the valve stem and the warm water line disconnected until you
1. Water - controlled automatic ignition:
When water ow is detected, heating is provided immediately with a double ignition
device. The ame is sensed by ions. This sensitive control makes the unit easy and
convenient to operate.
2. Auto - cut off protection:
The auto-cut-o protection will shut o the gas supply immediately if the ame goes
out for any reason.
3. Energy savings:
The advanced combustion system comes with a Winter/Summer switch. In winter, when
incoming water temperatures are lower, the winter setting increases the size of the
ame to compensate with extra heating. In summer, when incoming water
temperatures are higher, the summer setting reduces the ame.This provides more
comfort and energy savings in the form of lower gas consumption in warmer months.
FUNCTION AND FEATURES

4. Low water pressure start up function:
Theseunit requires 2 - 2.9 PSI to re, making it suitable for users with low water pres-
sure, or those who are using it to supply hot water to upper oors. Please note that
the water ow and water pressure are not the same. Sucient ow is always
required to keep the overheat safety sensor from shutting the unit o.
5. Anti - freezing protection:
When the temperature is below freezing, remove the water discharge valve to
discharge accumulated standing water inside the internal pipes. This will keep the
unit from freezing.
6. Anti-dry combustion protection:
Should dry combustion occur for any reason, the gas supply will be immediately and
automatically shut o.
7. Over-pressure protection:
When water pressure is over 145 PSI, the unit will automatically relieve the excessive
pressure to avoid damage to its internal components.
PRECAUTIONS
1. The water heater must be installed in a well-ventilated area. An exhaust pipe of
double walled construction for category I heating appliances, i.e. B-vent or Z-vent if
excessive condensation is a concern must be installed to discharge the exhaust from
the ame (venting supplies can be located at most home improvement stores in the
water heater section) must be installed to discharge the exhaust from the ame.
During operation, the water heater consumes a lot of oxygen, so the exhaust pipe
and outlet hole must be properly installed. Refer to exhaust pipe section for details.
Failure to properly install the room intake and exhaust pipe will cause oxygen deple-
tion in the area around the water heater, which can cause incomplete combustion.
Carbon monoxide poisoning, death and serious accidents can occur due to incom-
plete combustion. ALL USERS OF GAS APPLIANCES OF ANY TYPE SHOULD EMPLOY
THE USE OF A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR.

2. Don't expose the water heater to the strong wind or rain.
3. Use only the type of gas that is specied on the name plate.
4. All gas connections should be made by a professional.
5. Don't use pipes, tubing or other connections that are aging or cracked.
6. Do not use with water pressures lower than 8 PSI. Do not use with lower GPM's
than indicated on the ow chart for your unit.
7.The water heater shouldn't be installed above cooking appliances, such as ovens or
stoves.
8. The water heater should be installed a minimum of 15 feet from any stairs or
emergency exits.
9. The water heater must be installed vertically, according to the mounting instructions.
10. The water heater must not be installed near ammable or volatile substances.
MOUNTING YOUR WATER HEATER
a) Please consult all venting requirements in the "Installing the Exhaust Pipe"
section of the manual before choosing the nal place to mount the heater.
b) When possible, your water heater should be mounted directly to studs. There
should be a screw in every available mounting location on the heater. If studs are not
available, do NOT hang unit directly from sheetrock without utilizing expansion
screws.

The water heater must not
be exposed to strong winds. The water heater must not
be installed outside.

09
c) When utilizing expansion screws for sheetrock mounting, hold the unit on the wall
where you want it mounted. Mark with a pencil the (4) mounting holes. Remove the
unit from the wall, and drill 3/8" holes on each mark. (See drawings below).
d) Install the expansion bolt into the drilled hole. Hang the unit utilizing the screws
supplied.
WATER SUPPLY
Connect the cold water inlet supply
Note: Use white Teon tape at all threaded water connections
- The cold water inletjoint is ½" NPT threaded pipe.
- The water inlet should be connected by using exible heavy duty tubing or rigid PVC
pipe. If you choose exible tubing, you will need a½" threaded male to½" hose barb
adapter. Tubing should be secured with properly sized hose clamps. Rigid pipe should
be ½" male threads. Teon tape should be employed with any threaded ttings.
- The inner diameter of the inlet pipe (including the valve) should not be less than 3/8".
Larger diameter pipe is acceptable with the appropriate adapters to reduce to ½" at the
inletjoint.
-The cold water valve must be installed inline with the water inlet pipe.
- Always ush a new unit with water to clear out any collected deposits or debrisprior
to installation. The supplied screen lter must be correctly installed in the cold water
inlet to prevent mineral deposits from your water supply from building up in the unit's
water valve assembly. After ushing with cold water and conrming that there is no
residue in the pipe, install the rubber gasket and tighten the water inlet joint.

HOT WATER OUTLET
- The hot water outlet joint is ½" NPT pipe thread.
- The hot water outlet should be connected by exible tubing or rigid PVC of the type
intended for use with hot water.
- The inner diameter of the water outlet pipe (including the valve) shouldn't be less
than 3/8". Larger diameter pipe is acceptable as long as the appropriate adapters are
used.
- After connecting, fully open the cold water supply to conrm the ow of water and to
check for leaks. Correct leaks as necessary.
INSTALLING THE GAS SUPPLY
The gas inlet joint is ½" NPT pipe thread. Very Important: Use Teon tape for gas or gas
pipe paste between the unit and the gas inlet pipe connector.
- For small bottle Liquid Propane installations: Connect the gas supply to your propane
bottle using a standard rubber Liquid Propane hose and low pressure regulator. Opti-
mal pressure for your unit is .41-.5 PSI, the same as a typical gas grill. Pressures set
outside this range may result in inconsistent behavior from your water heater.
- For whole house Liquid Propane or Natural Gas Installations: The unit should be con-
nected directly to the home gas supply using black iron gas pipe or the braided metal
gas appliance hoses located in the water heater section of your local home improve-
ment store. WARNING: THIS TYPE OF CONNECTION MUST BE MADE BY A PROFESSION-
AL. Please note that Natural Gas units require .25-.5 PSI for your unit to operate correct-
ly. If you are unsure of your gas pressure, contact your gas company.
After the gas inlet is connected, open the gas supply valve and check for gas leaks at all
connections by spraying with soapy water and watching for bubbles. Do not skip this
step! Adjust or repair leaks as needed.
- All gas connections must be made in accordance with local building codes and regu-
lations.
INSTALLING THE EXHAUST PIPE
WARNING! There is water contained in the coils of your water heater at all times. If your
water heater is exposed to freezing temperatures, the water in the coils could freeze,
causing a break in the heat exchanger of the unit.

11
This kind of damage will result in water running freely into the space where the water
heater is located, with can cause ooding. If your water heater is installed in a geo-
graphic location that sees very low sustained temperatures, you MUST terminate vent
stack with a properly rated wind and rain cap. This will help prevent cold air from falling
down into the water heater and causing freeze damage. Damage to the unit or resi-
dence caused by freezing is not covered under warranty and responsibility for this type
of damage is disclaimed by Marey Heater Corporation.
- All venting must be done in accordance with local codes and regulations. Local build-
ing codes from city to city and state to state will vary. Some jurisdictions may allow
venting material not allowed by other jurisdictions.
- ALL jurisdictions in North America allow for Z-Vent material to be used for venting
tankless hot water heaters. The condensation of a tankless water heater is slightly more
acidic than that of a standard water heater. Z-Vent is double walled stainless steel vent
pipe made specically for venting tankless heaters. Z-Vent is intended for lifetime use
and will never corrode or rust.
- MOST jurisdictions in North America allow for B-Vent to be used for category 1 heat-
ing appliances. Round B Vent is ideal for Category 1 draft hood appliances. It uses a
double wall construction with the inner ue of polished aluminum or aluminum alloy
and an outer casing of galvanized steel. If venting is done correctly then the exhaust
gasses should be carried out before it has a chance to condensate. Before deciding
what material to use, you MUST check your local building codes to see what is allowed
in your jurisdiction. If you choose to use B-Vent, you MUST check it at least monthly for
corrosion and replace vent pipes immediately if corrosion is detected.
The proper venting Materials and procedure for the venting of the Natural Rise Power
Gas Series are as followed.
- The preferred material for these heaters is B-Vent {doubled walled, galvanized metal
outside, polished aluminum inside). The unit requires 4" venting.
- You must establish an 18" collar rise before installing any bends or condensation
catches. Never install a 90 degree bend directly on top of the heater.
-The minimum height allowed is 6 feet, this is to allow enough pipe to heat up to prop-
erly vent the gases and moisture from combustion. A straight vertical run is preferable.

12
- If horizontal runs are necessary then they must always be sloped up at least .25" for
every foot and must be kept shorter than 75% of the total vertical length. Never termi-
nate the venting horizontally, you need the last bit of vertical run to "pull" the remain-
ing gasses that may have cooled in the horizontal run.
- If venting through the roof then the termination height will depend on your roof
pitch (consult with an HVAC tech if unsure of needed lenght). If condensation is a con-
cern for a specic installation then other more specialized materials should be used
most common is Z-Vent (double walled stainless steel on both in and outside layers).
- Fresh air intake: The room in which the heater is located must have an air inlet not less
than .75 square feet (roughly 9" x 12" or larger).
- If there are any deviations from these guidelines then please seek the help of a quali-
ed HVAC technician. Improper venting could be hazardous or even deadly.

Install two D Cell batteries. Check the door of the battery compartment for correct
battery position.
- Open the hot water on a nearby faucet. Conrm proper water ow through the unit
and out of the faucet. (You should hear a "clicking" sound from the unit-this is the ignit-
or activating). Turn the water back o.
- Start the gas supply. Check again for gas leaks using soapy water and correct as neces-
sary.
- Open the hot water faucet. You should hear the ignition clicking, and hot water should
begin owing. Sometimes, if there is air in either the water or gas supply lines, you will
not get immediate combustion. If this is the case, turn the water on and o several
times to clear the water and gas lines of any air pockets that may be present.
- All water heaters have a seasonal summer/winter switch to meet your water tempera-
ture needs. This is because extra heating may be required when incoming water tem-
peratures are lower (winter), and less heating is required when incoming water tem-
peratures are higher (summer). Use the summer setting when incoming water tempera-
tures are a little higher. Use the winter setting when incoming water temperatures are a
little lower.
- When the water supply is turned o, the water heater will stop working. When you turn
the water back on, the water heater will reignite. Please note that if you use the hot
water multiple times in quick succession, the water may be excessively hot for one or
two seconds. Please wait for the temperature to adjust before using.
- If you close the water inlet valve or the water outlet valve, the water heater will shut o
immediately. Shut o the gas supply after use.

1. If a gas leak is detected at any time, close the main gas valve immediately. The
Marey service center or your local gas company shou Id be contacted for repair.
2. Do not block the exhaust pipe or the air inlet. This can cause incomplete
combustion and lead to gas poisoning.
3. During operation, check the re through the sight glass for normal combustion.
Check for a compact, blue ame. Tall or excessively orange ames indicate abnormal
combustion. If there is abnormal combustion, close the gas valve immediately and
contact the Marey service center or your gas company for maintenance.
4. When outdoor temperatures are below 32 degrees F and pipe freezing may occur,
any water remaining in the unit after use should be discharged to avoid freezing.
Water should be discharged in the following manner:
a) Turn o the gas supply valve, turn o the tap water supply valve, and turn the
water temperature adjusting switch to the low temperature position. Turn on the
hot water supply valve and remove the water discharge valve to discharge the water
remaining in the unit. Reinstall the water discharge valve.
Check the gas pipes, hoses, and vent pipes regularly. If you nd joints that are not
tightly secured or if there are cracks or corrosion anywhere, you should stop using the
heater and perform the necessary maintenance immediately.
Check regularly for water or gas leaks and correct immediately.
Regularly clean the surface of the water heater to remove dirt or dust with a wet cloth,
and then use a dry cloth to remove moisture. For hard to remove dirt, please use a mild
spray cleaner or detergent.
