Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation of your DIVEDEER Portable Instant-Heat LPG Water Heater. Please read all instructions carefully before installation and use. Proper installation, operation, and maintenance are crucial for optimal performance and safety.
Your water heater is designed for home use, offering instant hot water with a stainless steel construction and easy installation. It operates on Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) and requires two 1.5V D-Type batteries for ignition (batteries not included).
Important Note:
- The water heater does not contain batteries upon delivery; you must purchase and install them separately.
- Ensure correct water pipe connections (inlet and outlet) to the device interface for unimpeded water flow.
- Before the first use, the water heater must be properly vented to discharge any air residue in the pipeline. Failure to do so may lead to poor water flow or damage to the unit.

Installation
Proper installation is critical for the safe and efficient operation of your water heater. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional.
Component Details:
Battery Installation:
The water heater requires two 1.5V D-Type batteries for ignition. Locate the battery compartment, typically on the lower right side of the unit. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries.
Water and Gas Connections:
- Connect the cold water inlet pipe and hot water outlet pipe to the designated ports on the bottom of the unit.
- Connect the LPG gas supply to the gas inlet. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free.
Exhaust Pipe Installation:
The unit uses an Open & Force Flue Exhaust Type system. The exhaust pipe must be installed correctly to vent combustion gases safely outdoors. The total length of the exhaust pipe should be within 3 meters, and it should not have more than 3 bends.
Initial Venting:
Before first use, open a hot water tap to allow water to flow through the system and expel any trapped air. This prevents poor water flow and potential damage.
Operation
Your DIVEDEER water heater is designed for user-friendly operation with intelligent controls.
Controls and Display:
- Gas Regulator: Adjusts the gas flow to control the heat output.
- Water Regulator: Controls the water flow rate.
- Fire Row Control: (Refer to Figure 3) Adjusts the number of active burner rows for precise heating.
- Digital Display: Shows the real-time water and vapor temperature.
- Winter/Summer Mode: Select the appropriate mode for seasonal efficiency.
Key Features:
- Instant Heat: Provides hot water on demand, eliminating long waits.
- Constant Temperature: Advanced thermostatic core and CPU intelligent control technology maintain a stable water temperature with a variation as low as ±0.5°C, even with fluctuating water consumption.
- Segmented Fire Row Combustion: Automatically switches between high and low fire combustion to maintain constant wash temperature and save energy.
- Low Voltage Startup: Designed to operate reliably even in environments with low voltage or low water pressure.
- Low Noise Operation: Operates quietly, with sound levels as low as 50dB.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your water heater.
- Fan Cleaning: Periodically inspect and clean the fan before and after use to ensure proper ventilation and exhaust.
- Pure Copper Water Tank: The pure copper water tank is corrosion-resistant and designed for durability. While it inhibits bacteria at a rate of 99.9%, regular flushing of the system can help maintain water quality.
- Gas Emission Tube: Ensure the gas emission tube is clear of obstructions and properly sealed.
- General Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your water heater, refer to the following common problems and solutions. For complex issues, contact a qualified technician or the seller.
Common Problems:
- No Hot Water / Long Wait for Hot Water:
- Check if the gas supply is open and the gas pressure is sufficient.
- Ensure batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge.
- Verify water inlet and outlet connections are not obstructed.
- Confirm the unit was properly vented before first use.
- Adjust the Gas Regulator and Water Regulator settings.
- Insufficient Water / Slow Flow:
- Check water supply pressure.
- Inspect water pipes for kinks or blockages.
- Ensure the water regulator is set appropriately.
- Hot and Cold Water Fluctuations:
- This unit features constant temperature control (±0.5°C difference). If fluctuations occur, check for stable water pressure and gas supply.
- Ensure the correct seasonal mode (Winter/Summer) is selected.
- Verify the Fire Row Control is functioning correctly.
- Unit Not Igniting:
- Check D-Type batteries for charge and correct installation.
- Ensure gas supply is open.
- Verify water flow is sufficient to trigger ignition (starting pressure 0.015 MPA).
If problems persist, record the symptoms and contact the seller for assistance.
User Tips
- Verify Capacity: Always double-check the ordered capacity (e.g., 6L, 8L, 18L) upon receipt to ensure it matches your needs.
- Temperature Expectations: While the unit provides instant hot water, ensure your gas and water regulators are adjusted correctly to achieve your desired temperature within the specified range of 10℃-60℃ (50°F-140°F). If water feels only lukewarm, fine-tune these settings.
- Continuous Hot Water: This is an instant/tankless water heater, meaning it heats water as it flows through, providing continuous hot water as long as the water and gas supply are consistent and within operational parameters.
- Low Water Pressure Environments: The unit is designed to start at low water pressure (0.015 MPA), making it suitable for various environments, including high-rise houses and older homes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: What temperature does this heater heat the water to?
- A: The water heater can heat water within a range of 10℃ to 60℃ (50°F to 140°F).
- Q: Does this unit provide continuous hot water?
- A: Yes, as an instant/tankless water heater, it heats water on demand, providing a continuous supply of hot water as long as the gas and water flow are maintained.
