WARNING

Do not attempt repairs on the gas control or appliance. Tampering is dangerous and voids all warranties.

WARNING

LP GAS: To avoid possible injury, fire and explosion, read and follow these precautions and all instructions on this appliance before starting the heater. LP (propane) gas is heavier than air and will remain at ground level if there is a leak. Before lighting, sniff at ground level. If you smell gas, follow these rules:

1.DO NOT light matches. DO NOT turn electric lights or switches on or off in area. DO NOT use an electric fan to remove the gas from area.

2.Shut off gas at LP tank.

3.Telephone gas company and fire department for instructions. Give your name, address and phone number.

If your LP tank runs out of fuel, turn off gas at the appliance. After the tank is refilled, the appliance must be re-started according to the instructions located on the inside of the door.

3A. Start-Up Procedure

With any new pool or spa installation, run the filter pump with the heater off long enough to completely clean the water. This removes any installation residue from the water. Clean the filter at

the end of this operation before starting the heater. Do not operate the heater unless the pool is properly filled with water.

When raising the temperature of water in a cold pool, remove all time clock settings. This lets the filter system and heater operate continuously until the water reaches the temperature setting on the thermostat. When that happens, the heater will shut off automatically, but the filter pump will keep running.

Caution

Keep all objects off the top of the heater, and do not obstruct louvre openings in heater sides. Blocking ventilation air flow may damage the heater and void the warranty.

3B. Temperature Controls

The Hi-E2heater has a dual temperature control which allows either of two different temperature settings to be selected with the rotary switch on the control panel. The owner can set one control for normal use and the other for standby, or one might be set for a pool and the other for a spa. Setting the rotary switch to the middle position turns the heater off (see Figure 25).

Figure 25. Temperature Control Panel.

The temperature controls on the Hi-E2 cover a range from approximately 70°F (21°C) to approximately 104°F (40°C). Always use an accurate pool thermometer to test the pool water temperature. Once the correct position for the control knob is determined, use the TEMP-LOK to keep it from going any higher by positioning the tab next to the knob and then tightening the screw. Note that the heater should not be used to maintain pool or spa temperature below 70°F.

IMPORTANT: The temperature controls cannot be calibrated in the field. If the temperature control does not work, shut down the heater and replace the temperature control. DO NOT use the temperature control to shut the heater off. Remove the access door and turn the main gas valve to OFF.
