STARTING UP (See Figs. 2 and 3)
On initial light-up of a new appliance, a smell may be noticed but
this is not harmful and will fade away after the appliance has
operated for a time.
Move the gas control slide to the centre position.
Observe the pilot burner through the observation window and
press in the centre button of the control slide and hold depressed
while pushing in the Piezo igniter button two or three times. The
pilot should light. Wait 10 seconds and then release the centre
button of the gas control slide. The pilot should remain alight. If
the pilot is not established, repeat the operations until a flame is
established.
Note that on initial light-up or after prolonged shut-down, the
establishment of the pilot may take several attempts due to the
presence of air in the gas supply pipe.
Move the slide control fully to the right and fully open any hot
water tap. The main burner should light.
Turn off the tap and the main flame will be extinguished.

The Temperature Control Knob should be turned anti-clockwise
to obtain a higher flow rate of water at a lower temperature rise
or turned clockwise to obtain a higher temperature rise at a
lower flow rate.
To ensure continued efficient operation of the appliance it is
recommended that it is checked and serviced as necessary at
regular intervals.
The frequency of servicing will depend upon the particular

SHUT DOWN (See Fig. 5.)
When there is no demand for hot water over a long period, the
pilot can be extinguished by moving the slide control fully to the
left.
When hot water is required again, the pilot must be re-established.
If, during prolonged inactive periods, there is any risk of freezing,
the heater should be drained by firstly isolating the appliance
from the incoming cold water supply (close valve with black knob).
Then open any hot water tap and drain down into a suitable
container via the fitted drain cock.
