These instructions are a general guide only; instructions on flipside of access cover of your hot water system should be used.
- Remove the access cover
- Turn the gas control knob to the off position
- Wait 5 minutes to allow any build-up of gas to escape. If you can smell gas, stop. If you do not smell gas proceed to step 4.
- Turn the knob to the pilot position.
- Press the knob fully down and after 30 seconds, whilst keeping the knob pressed down, repeatedly press the igniter button until the pilot flame ignites.
WARNING: Keep your face and body clear of the combustion chamber opening while pressing the ignite button.
NOTE: It is not possible to press down the knob fully if the gas control has activated its safety shut-off feature. In this case, wait 60 seconds for the gas control to reset. - Keep the knob pressed down for at least 40 seconds or until you have a strong pilot flame.
- Release the knob and check the pilot is still alight. The pilot can be checked by looking through the large opening below the gas control.
- If the pilot has failed to light or has not remained alight, turn the gas control knob to the off position 1. Wait 5 minutes for any unburnt gas to disperse and then begin at step 4 again.
WARNING: Failure to wait 5 minutes may result in a fire or explosion. - When the pilot flame remains alight with the gas control knob released , turn the knob anticlockwise to the number setting, the higher the number the hotter the water – this will also depend on what brand of hot water system you have.
- Replace access cover.
