2.  Open all the hot taps and fixtures in the house.
 

 

 

 

 

3.  Open the cold water isolation valve fully at the inlet to the 

water heater

4.  Check all pipe work for leaks and stop the leaks as 

necessary

5.  Once all the air has been forced out of the system and 

water is flowing freely from every hot tap or fixture, close 
all hot taps and fixtures

6.  Open the gas isolation valve fully by hand at the inlet to 

the water heater

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7.  Check the gas pipe work for leaks and stop the leaks as 

necessary 

caution

If there is a gas leak that cannot be stopped, do not try to 
start the water heater. Do not touch any electrical switches, 
use a mobile phone or any other ignition source. Close the 
main gas isolating valve to the premises and walk a safe 
distance away. Call the gas supplier and follow the gas 
supplier’s instructions.

8.  Check the inlet gas pressure (refer page 10 of this 

manual).

9.  Plug the power cord into the socket outlet and switch on 

the electrical supply.

 

10. Open a hot water tap or fixture.
 

•  If there is sufficient water flow the water heater  
  should start up automatically

11.  Check each hot water tap or fixture to ensure that there 

is sufficient flow to operate the water heater (minimum 3 
litres per minute).

12. Check the temperature of the hot water at each hot tap or 

fixture intended primarily for personal hygiene to ensure 
the temperature is not higher than 50°C.
