Commissioning
To Fill, Turn ON and Commission the Water Heater
Warning: The pilot or burner must not be lit until the water heater is
filled with water.
1. Open all hot water taps in premises including shower(s).
2. Fully open cold water isolation valve on cold water line to water heater.
This will purge air from hot water plumbing lines via taps opened in
step 1.
3. Close each hot water tap after all air is purged (when air is purged
water will run freely without air bubbles or spluttering).
4. Check all plumbing connections for leaks.
5. Fully open gas isolation valve on gas supply line to water heater.
6. Check all gas connections for leaks using a soapy water solution.
7. Test inlet gas pressure (refer to ‘Testing Inlet Gas Pressure’ on page
32).
8. Test gas burner pressure and adjust if required (refer to ‘Testing &
Adjusting Burner Gas Pressure’ on page 33).
9. Light the water heater (refer to ‘Lighting Instructions’ on page 6).
10. Test water heater operation. Water heater operation must be
thoroughly checked as follows:
•
The pilot should burn with a small blue flame. A luminous yellow
or ‘floating’ flame is not acceptable.
•
The burner flame must light smoothly and quickly from the pilot
flame, and must go out quietly and completely.
•
The main burner flame must be stable, although slight lifting at
the front edge of the burner is acceptable when the burner is cold.
•
The main burner flame should be blue, with a clearly defined
inner cone. Luminous yellow or ‘floating’ flames are not
acceptable.
•
If unable to get the water heater working properly, contact
Aquamax Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent.
11. Replace front access panel.
Explain to the householder, or a responsible officer, the functions and
operation of the water heater.
