OPERATION

It is recommended that a qualified person perform the initial firing of the heater. At this time the user should not hesitate to ask the individual any questions which he may have in regard to the operation and maintenance of the unit.

WARNING

THE GAS VALVE MUST HAVE BEEN IN THE OFF POSITION FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES. This waiting period is an important safety step. Its purpose is to permit gas that may have accumulated in the combustion chamber to clear. IF YOU DETECT GAS ODOR AT THE END OF THIS PERIOD DO NOT PROCEED WITH LIGHTING. RECOGNIZE THAT GAS ODOR, EVEN IF IT SEEMS WEAK, MAY INDICATE PRESENCE OF ACCUMULATED GAS SOMEPLACE IN THE AREA WITH RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. SEE THE FRONT PAGE FOR STEPS TO BE TAKEN.

Before lighting the pilot and operating the heater, the following conditions must exist:

•Entire system filled with water.

•Air purged from all lines and no leaks (gas and water).

•All gas and water lines open.
