Lighting Instructions

Read and understand these directions thoroughly before attempting to light or re-light the pilot. Make sure the view port is not missing or damaged. (See Figure 34.) Make sure the tank is completely filled with water before lighting the pilot. Check the rating plate near the gas control valve/thermostat for the correct type of gas. Do not use this water heater with any gas other than the one listed on the rating plate. If you have any questions or doubts, consult your gas supplier or gas utility

Lighting the Pilot:

Read and follow the lighting instructions on the water heater's label.

1.Turn the Control Knob to Pilot. Press the Knob in fully and hold it in.

2.(The knob will travel in about ¼ inch if it is set to Pilot correctly.)

3.Click the Igniter button continuously for up to 90 seconds or until the Status Light begins to blink for 90 seconds. If the Status Light does not begin to blink after 90 seconds, STOP. Wait 10 minutes before attempting to relight the Pilot. Repeat these steps 2-3 times if necessary.

The circuitry on this gas valve requires that your wait 10 minutes between lighting attempts. If the Status Light blinks, release the Control Knob and set temperature to desired setting ("Hot" is approx 120°F).

If the Status Light Does Not Blink:

1.Wait 10 minutes before another lighting attempt.

2.If the Status Light did not blink, repeat the lighting procedure following the lighting instructions on the water heater's label. Remove the outer door. The Control Knob must be set to Pilot and held in continuously while clicking the igniter button (about once per second for up to 90 seconds. To observe the Pilot, remove the outer door and look through the view port (sight glass).

3.Continue clicking the Igniter button (for up to 90 seconds) until Pilot lights.

4.Once the Pilot is lit, continue to hold the Control Knob in until the Status Light begins to blink.

5.Release Control Knob and set Knob to desired temperature setting ("Hot" is approx 120°F).

6.Replace outer door.

If the Pilot Does Not Light:

1.Wait 10 minutes before another lighting attempt. If the pilot does not light, the Igniter may not be sparking or the unit may not be getting gas (or on a new installation, there may still be air in the gas line). Each time the Igniter button is clicked, you should be able to see the spark by looking through the sight glass (you may have to darken the room lights to see the spark). You do not have to push the Control Knob in to check the Igniter button. Simply

Explosion Hazard

Replace view port if glass is missing or damaged.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.

look through the sight glass while clicking the Igniter button and look for a spark. If you can't see a spark when the Igniter button is clicked, check the wiring connections from the Igniter button and make sure they are tight..

2.If you see the Igniter spark, try relighting the pilot by following the instructions on the water heater's label. Insure that the gas supply is tuned on. There may be air in the gas line, and several lighting attempts may be needed to completely fill the line with gas and successfully light the pilot.

If the Pilot Lights but the Status Light Does Not Blink:

1.If the pilot lights, continue to hold the Control Knob in until the Status Light blinks. If the pilot is lit and remains lit for 90 seconds and the Status Light still does not blink, the thermopile connections may be loose, the thermal switch may need to be reset or the thermopile may be defective.

2, Remove outer door.

3.Press reset button on thermal switch referencing Figure 34.

4.If switch clicks, it may have tripped. Check area for flammable vapors before trying to light Pilot. Do not light the Pilot if flammable vapors are present. Check flame arrestor for signs of discoloration (which could be caused by flammable vapors). If the flame arrestor is discolored, do not attempt to relight the Pilot. Have the water heater inspected by a qualified service technician.

5.Check wiring connections from the thermopile and the thermal switch to the gas valve (see Figure 33). Ensure that all wiring connections are tight.

6.Replace outer door.

7.Wait 10 minutes and try to light Pilot according to the instructions on the water heater's label.

8.While clicking the Igniter button continuously, the Control Knob must be set to Pilot and held in until the Status Light blinks. Once the Status light blinks, release the control knob and set knob to desired temperature setting ("HOT" is approx 120°F).
