The OM-122DW is designed for use with ASTM D3699 1-K Kerosene, ASTM D396 Low Sulfur No.1 or No. 2
Fuel Oil, or ASTM D975 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) only. Use of low-quality oil will cause burner perfor-
mance to drop, leading to abnormal combustion and reduced the unit life.
Purchase only ASTM D3699 1-K Kerosene, ASTM D396 Low Sulfur No.1 or No. 2 Fuel Oi, or ASTM D975
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) from a reputable oil dealer.
To avoid accidented use of gasoline or other high volatile liquids, always store your fuel in a separate area.
What to Buy...
ALWAYS: Clean and high-quality ASTM D3699 1-K Kerosene, ASTM D396 Low Sulfur No.1 or No. 2 Fuel
Oil, or ASTM D975 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD).
It is recommended to use the low sulfur fuel.
ALWAYS: Fuel free of contaminants, water or cloudiness.
NEVER: Gasoline, alcohol, white gas, camp stove fuel or additives.
NEVER: Yellow or sour-smelling fuel.
How to Store It...
ALWAYS:
Store in a clean container or fuel tank, non-red in color, clearly
marked "KEROSENE", "NO.1 FUEL OIL", "No. 2 FUEL OIL", or
"ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL".
ALWAYS: Store away from direct sunlight, heat sources or extreme tem-
perature changes.
NEVER: In a glass container, or one that has been used for other fuels.
NEVER: For longer than six months.
NEVER: In the living space.
Why It is Important...
Good, clean oil is essential for safe and efficient water heater operation.
Poor quality or contaminated fuel can cause:
¡Excess tar deposits in the burner area and flue pipe
¡Incomplete combustion
¡Reduced unit life
Use of a highly volatile flammable fuel such as gasoline can produce uncon-
trollable flames, creating a severe fire hazard.

1. Close the air exit valve, if it is provided for the piping.
2. Close the drain valve.
3. Pull down the lever of the temperature and pressure relief valve.
4. Close all the hot and cold mixing faucets once.
5. Fully open the main water supply valve.
6. First slowly open the valve for the hot and cold mixing faucet which is located in the farthest posi-
tion and gradually increase the flow rate as water starts flowing continuously.
NOTE: Since the water heater and piping system still have much air left after they are drained, a flash
flow of water may be caused by such air pressure when re-supplying water through them. First
open the valve carefully and gradually increase its opening to "Full Open" when the water flow
becomes stable. When air bubbles disappear in the water, fully open the valve for hot and cold
mixing faucet.
7. Also flow water through other hot and cold mixing faucets by the procedure of item 6 above.
8. Fully open the feed fuel valve for the fuel tank.
9. Connect the power supply cord.
10. Press the the "POWER SWITCH" to "ON" position.
11. Next open the valve for hot and cold mixing faucet, so hot water will flow out.
Operation start of the water heater in a cold region:
Before starting the water heater, open a valve for a hot and cold mixing faucet to make sure that water flows
out. Neither water flow nor smooth water flow occurs when the water heater and piping system are frozen.
If this happens, wait until such frozen water is melted and re-start the operation of the water heater when
water flows properly.
