sufficient water flow to satisfy the pressure switch and temperature control.

To shut off burner, turn temperature switch to "Off". Allow the engine/motor to continue to run.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

**BURNER

Repair of the burner is to be done by authorized and trained burner professionals only.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND CARE

If the water heater is likely to be exposed to freezing weather then it should be
winterized with anti-freeze. Circulation of an anti-freeze solution through the coil by means of
the pumping module is the most fail-safe method and should be used. Alternate methods may
not completely protect the components. Damage from freezing is not a warrantable item.

Water Condition

mineral content. The advantages of soft water are very beneficial: prevents scale buildup in heater
coil, cleans better with considerably less detergent, prevents streaking on painted surfaces and
glass when rinsing.

**Descaling Heater Coil

as excessive scale in heater coil will reduce efficiency of the unit and affect recovery capacity.
Descaling via use of acid may be hazardous and is thus not recommended.

MAINTE

Use a softener on your water system if local water is known to be high in

NANCE

If heater coils develop excessive scale buildup it should be replaced
