POWER GAS MODELS
**WARNING: working with gas can be dangerous. If you are not familiar with local
building codes and basic gas plumbing practices please employ a professional to
install your water heater**
1- Securely mount your water heater to the wall in an appropriate location using the
supplied hardware.
2- Install the venting (4” for 5L or 10L units, 5” for 16L units) per local building codes
and the instructions supplied.
3- Connect the gas lines (all connections are ½”). Use yellow Teflon tape at
threaded connections. Check carefully for gas leaks using soapy water and
correct as necessary before proceeding further.
4- Connect the water lines (all connections are ½”). Use ½” or ¾” pipe or tubing for
the water supply and return. If water pressure or flow rates are questionable use
¾” lines to ensure maximum flow. You MUST use copper, CPVC or appliance
tubing intended for use in hot water applications for all hot water lines.
5- Check for and correct water leaks as necessary.
6- Install the batteries in the battery compartment. Be sure the polarity of the
batteries is correct.
7- Turn on the faucet and adjust the water and gas settings on the water heater as
needed for your specific environment and comfort. **USE CAUTION NOT TO GET
SCALDED WHILE ADJUSTING YOUR SETTINGS** Remember that more water
flow will usually result in less heating, and vice versa. Higher gas settings result in
more heating, and vice versa.
8- Begin enjoying instant, energy efficient hot water for years to come!
