The installation of the heater must comply with all the prescriptions contained in the regulations in force. Air volume It is essential that the premises in which gas appliances (type b, open chamber appliances) are installed can reach at least as much air as necessary, so that proper combustion takes place and that the room is adequately ventilated

Service instruction

• Ignition
  The heat will be lit automatically as you turn on the water faucet. If no flame is generated after ignition, please close the faucet and turn it on again after 10 minutes.
  Note: If the heater is not in operation for a long period, air may enter the gas system. In such case, please repeat the ignition procedures above for several times.

• Power adjustment
  Gas regulation knob can be used to adjust the volume of gas circulation. This operation can adjust volume of gas circula-tion and the temperature of hot water: When gas supplied at rate pressure, the output power of maximum gas is the rated output power. Please refer to the gas consumption in the specification table.

• Adjustment of water temperature
  The temperature regulation knob can be used to adjust the volume of water circulation. This operation can change temp-erature of hot water. If you want to increase the temperature of hot water, please turn the regulator of water temperature clockwise. If you want to reduce temperature of hot water, please turn the regulator of water temperature counterclock-wise.

Please keep the sealing valve at the cold water inlet completely open. Don’t reduce the water circulation by means of closing the valve.

Control panel

Anti-freezing measures and putting out of service

If you don’t use the heater for a long period, please conserve the heater in the following ways:

• Close the switch of the gas.
• Extract the batteries from the battery compartment.
• Close the sealing valve at the cold water inlet.
• Adjust the temperature regulator to the lowest temperature. Turn on hot water switch.
• Open the empty valve to empty out the water inside
• Close the empty valve.

Failure of the flame during the operation of the heater

When flame goes out during the operation, the heater will activate security thermostat. In this case the gas feeding will be cut off automatically. Only after the heater has cooled off can it ignite once again:

• Please remain adequate ventilation of the exhaust outlet with caution.
• Cool the heater off.
• Turn off the water faucet and turn it on again.
• If the heater fails to start the operation, please refer to the general table of failures in the troubleshooting chapter. If there is still the failure, please make contact with its installer for solution.

Anti-blockage function

The GWH have the anti-blockage function inside the exhaust system. In case the exhaust duct being blocked, the thermostat on the fume collector would shut off the gas of the GWH in order to keep safety. When the GWH accidently shut off, please check the exhaust duct is blocked or not and keep it well exhaust. After that, you can use the GWH again. Provided that you still could not use it. Please contact the after-sale service or the professional maintainance. The thermostat is for safety. Don’t remove it or make it short circuit.

Model of B11BS heater

The heater is equipped with an exhaust security thermostat. If the exhaust outlet is not completely open, the thermostat is activated. Once the gas valve is closed, the heater will have an ignition once again after it has cooled off. The activated temperature of anti-block protection thermostat is 75℃±5℃. When protection happens, electric circuit is cut and unit doesn’t work. The recovery temperature of the anti-block thermostat is 50℃±5℃. When it is recovered, the electric circuit is on. The unit works right. If the system stops working in 2 minute when the flue pipe is blocked, it means anti-block function is in protection. If not, please contact professional people to fix it following the rules of EN 26 standard.

• If the units stop working within 3 minutes from start, it is the protection caused by the thermostat. In this case, it is necessary to check if there is any block on the flue pipe.
