Lighting Instructions
1. Stop. Read ‘Safety Warnings’ on
page 5.
2. Remove single screw retaining
access panel and lift out access
panel.
3. Slightly depress gas knob and rotate
fully clockwise so that the white dot
‘ ‘ aligns with the gas knob position
indicator on the gas control body (off
position).
4. Before lighting: Ensure there is no
smell of gas around vicinity of water
heater and burner opening. Be sure
to smell next to ground level as
some gases can settle there.
If you do not smell gas proceed to step 5.
If you do smell gas do not try to light the water heater. If the gas smell
is still present after five (5) minutes, turn off the isolation valve on the
gas supply line to the water heater, leave the area and call Aquamax
Service or a qualified service technician.
5. Depress gas knob slightly and rotate anticlockwise to the red star ‘ ’
(pilot) position.
6. Depress gas knob fully (until red star disappears below housing) and
hold in the depressed position. After twenty (20) seconds, whilst
keeping gas knob depressed, repeatedly press and release the igniter
button for up to forty (40) seconds or until the pilot flame ignites (igniter
is a red button located below and to the right of the gas control).
Warning: Keep your face clear of combustion chamber opening
while operating igniter button.
If pilot ignites, proceed to step 7.
If pilot does not ignite, release gas knob, wait five (5) minutes for any
unburnt gas to escape then begin again from the beginning of step 6.
Note: It is not possible to depress the gas knob fully if the gas control
has activated its safety shut off feature. In this case, wait five
(5) minutes for the gas control to reset (this allows for any unburnt gas
to escape).
