Warnings & Safety Precautions
WARNING! Cautions For Using Hot Water
Caution! Prevent from getting burnt. Make sure to check hot water temperature
by hand before taking a shower. You may be scalded by the hot water.
If a mixing tap is used, close the hot water tap first. If a water tap is
closed first, hot water will remain in the water piping system. You may get
burnt by the hot water remained in the piping system in your next use.
When a mixing tap is used, make sure to return the change over lever to the
original position. You may get burnt by hot water if the lever is positioned
in the half way.
DO NOT use inflammable like gasoline and benzene near the heater. A fire may
be caused.
When hot water is used, make sure that hot water temperature will not be changed by persons other than user. If the hot water temperature is changed in the middle of the use, you may get burnt. If the heater is turned off in the middle of the use, you may have the risk to be injured.
Caution! Prevent From Getting Burnt.
When the mixing tap is used, there may be a case that you will get burnt if the other

fall short of the maximum heat load.
Method for detection of maximum heat load: Disconnect the power and then power
it on, turn on the heater, automatic water valve automatically reset to the
maximum water flow condition. Open the panel, removal of auto-valve
connectors, make it stop working. Then close the panel. Constant temperature

Troubleshooting
If the heater exhibits any problematic symptoms, please check the heater following the table below.
Symptom No operation (combustion)
Water not warm enough Hot water temperature too high
Items To Check · Is power plug plugged in firmly? · Is main gas valve opened
fully? · Is main water valve opened fully? · Is there a suspension of the
water supply? · Is there a power failure? · Is their air left in the piping
system? · Repeat ignition procedures · Is water filter clogged? (refer to
P.13) · Is main gas valve fully opened? · Are hot and cold water mixed
properly? · Is the water temperature set too low?
· Is main water valve opened fully? · Is water filter clogged? (refer to P.13)
· Is the water temperature set too high?
The symptoms listed below are not defects.
Symptom
Possible Cause
Steam comes out from flue duct on a cold day This is not abnormal. This happens when water in
the exhaust air becomes vapor
Fan rotation sound is heard after hot water supply The blower runs for an additional 30 seconds to
is stopped
cool down the heater and expel exhaust air inside
the heater
Hot water becomes cloudy when hot water tap is This is because air in the water becomes bubbles closed slightly
Bumpy noise is heard when hot water tap is closed This sound is normally heard when water supply is
suddenly
stopped suddenly
When hot water tap is closed slightly, the combustion stops and hot water becomes cold
When water pressure becomes lower than the minimum ignition water pressure, the heater will turn off
Safety devices will be activated when there is something wrong with the
heater: 1. Flame on the burner turns off during operation: Flame Failure
Safety Device 2. Heater becomes abnormally hot: Overheat Prevention Device
3. Combustion without water supply: Empty Combustion Prevention Device 4.
Excess electric flow: Electric Fuse 5. Abnormally high water pressure:
Pressure Relief Valve
Error Codes
E0 Outlet water detector failure E1 Ignition failure E2 False fire failure E3
