ADJUSTMENTS

ON INITIAL STARTUP SOME ADJUSTMENTS ARE NECESSARY.

1.CHECK MANIFOLD AND INLET GAS PRESSURES.

2.TO ADJUST PILOT FLAME - FOLLOW “PILOT BURNER” PROCEDURE UNDER “PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE”.

WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL

WARNING

THIS WATER HEATER IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ADJUSTABLE THERMOSTAT TO CONTROL WATER TEMPERATURE. HOT WATER TEMPERATURES REQUIRED FOR AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER AND LAUNDRY USE CAN CAUSE SCALD BURNS RESULTING IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND/ OR DEATH. THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH INJURY OCCURS VARIES WITH THE PERSON’S AGE AND TIME OF EXPOSURE. THE SLOWER RESPONSE TIME OF CHILDREN, AGED OR HANDICAPPED PERSONS INCREASES THE HAZARDS TO THEM. NEVER ALLOW SMALL CHILDREN TO USE A HOT WATER TAP, OR DRAW THEIR OWN BATH WATER. NEVER LEAVE A CHILD OR DISABLED PERSON UNATTENDED IN A BATHTUB OR SHOWER.

THE WATER HEATER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE THE GENERAL PUBLIC DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SET TEMPERATURES.

SETTING THE WATER HEATER TEMPERATURE AT 120°F WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF SCALDS. Some states or provinces require settings at specific lower temperatures.

Below you will find listed the approximate time-of-burn relationship for normal adult skin. Short repeated heating cycles caused by small hot water uses can cause temperatures at the point of use to exceed the thermostat setting by up to 20°F (11°C).

If you experience this type of use, you should consider using lower temperature settings to reduce scald hazards.

Valves for reducing point-of-use temperature by mixing cold and hot water are available. Also available are inexpensive devices that attach to faucets to limit hot water temperatures. Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority.

The water temperature is controlled by a thermostat, Fig. 3, which has two sensing elements. One sensor is located near the top of the tank and the other is near the center. The thermostat is set in the lowest position before the heater leaves the factory.

The thermostat temperature dial, Fig. 3, is accessible by removing the control cover. The dial is adjustable and may be set for 120°F (49°C) to 180°F (82°C) water temperature, but 120°F (49°C) is the recommended starting point. It is suggested the dial be placed on the lowest setting which produces an acceptable hot water supply. This will always give the most energy efficient operation. The temperature control has a 4°F fixed differential.

TESTING DAMPER OPERATION

With the Service Switch in the AUTOMATIC OPERATION position, check the operation of the flue damper three (3) times with the water operating controls for proper operating sequence:

•The damper disc must be open (in the vertical position) before the ignition and combustion process begins.

•The damper disc must be in the open position when the main burner is firing.

•The gas valve must close and the main burner must have ceased firing before the damper disc begins its return to the closed (horizontal) position.

If during testing of the operation of the damper you find that there is a problem with the operation of the water heater when the Service Switch is in the AUTOMATIC OPERATION position: Reset the Service Switch to the HOLD OPEN DAMPER position and check operation again.

If the water heater does operate when placed in the HOLD OPEN DAMPER position:

•Refer to the EFFIKAL RVGP-FSF-SERIES TROUBLE- SHOOTING GUIDE at the end of this manual.

CAUTION

Do not force the damper disc manually or motor damage will occur.

If the water heater does not operate with the Service Switch in either position:

• Refer to the Troubleshooting Sections and Operational

180°F (82°C) 170°F (77°C) 160°F (71°C) 150°F (65°C) 140°F (60°C) 130°F (54°C) 120°F (49°C)
