LIGHTING THE WATER HEATER
36
TEST THE WATER HEATER AFTER INSTALLATION

The operation of the water heater must be thoroughly checked by the
installer.

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, and must be
corrected by opening the air shutter (refer to
“Air Shutter”
on page 36).

Check the test point pressure and compare with the rating label. The pressure
regulator is not adjustable and if the test point pressure is not within 5% of
the specified value, refer to Aquamax Service.

If unable to get the water heater working properly, contact Aquamax Service.

When satisfied everything is working properly instruct the user in the correct
method of operation.
AIR SHUTTER
The air shutter is a hinged flap in the burner aeration tube. It may require
adjustment on installation.

For a Propane model, the air shutter should be fully open.

The shutter is held in place by a screw on the side of the burner aeration tube.
Note: A Natural gas model does not have an
air shutter.
CLOSE DOWN PROCEDURE
1. Turn the gas control knob to the
“” position (pilot). This setting will leave
the pilot flame alight however the main
burner will not be able to light.
2. Turn the gas control knob to the "" (off)
position. This setting shuts the gas control
down completely.
