6.Parts in water flow valve (#38411) are cor- roded

The gas valve will not open fully if water valve parts are corroded. Replace both parts in wa- ter valve (#38475, 33071).

HOT WATER TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATES

1. Temperature setting is too high

Setting the temperature too high will make it necessary to add a great deal of cold water to make the temperature safe and comfortable for contact with the skin. Adding too much cold to the hot water flow at the tap can create an im- balance and reduce the flow of water through the AquaStar causing the flow through the AquaStar to fall below the minimal 1.1 gallon/ minute. We recommend setting the tempera- ture selector dial on #4 or #5. See section on Setting Water Temperature, Page 12.

2. Unbalanced pressure in water lines

The added flow restriction caused by an AquaStar inthe hot water system can result in uneven pres- sures between the cold and the hot. In such cases

when mixing cold water at the tap, the lower water pressure on the hot side may be momen- tarily overpowered by a much higher cold wa- ter pressure, which may cause the AquaStar burners to shut down. Make sure faucet aera- tors or shower heads are free of minerals. Check that the flow restrictor and filter of the AquaStar are clean. Avoid running the AquaStar at the highest temperature setting.

3.Cold water is mixing with the hot water between the AquaStar and the outlet Check for automatic mixing valve or plumbing crossover (see #6, MAIN BURNERS WILL NOT IGNITE) Where automatic "anti-scald" valves are required by code, lower the temperature setting on the AquaStar as much as possible and balance the pressure betwen cold and hot water after the AquaStar.

4.Inlet water pressure is erratic due to inad- equate supply water pressure or saturated pressure tank on well system

Check the inlet water pressure and correct if necessary.
