NOTICE:
3.8 Combustion Air Supply
WARNING: The gas water heater requires a sufficient source of clean air for combustion and ventilation. Without enough air, your water heater may not function properly and may cause excessive and abnormal carbon monoxide causing poisoning or death.
Before installing the water heater, you must be sure to supply the required amount of air to the water heater and any other gas equipment in the same area and provide adequate air for combustion and ventilation. If you are not sure of the correct way to supply air to your water heater, please consult a professional.
Check chemicals: The air used for combustion and ventilation must be clean and free of corrosive chemicals. If corrosive chemicals such as sulphur, fluorine or chlorine are present, the water heater must be vented directly. Failures due to these corrosive chemicals are not covered by the warranty.
WARNING: In all cases, ensure that there are no corrosive chemicals in the air intake. The presence of such chemicals at the air inlet can result in death, personal injury or property damage. Examples of locations where external air is required due to chemicals include:
Does your installation space have enough combustion air?
It is recommended that all installations be ventilated with outdoor air. Even if the water heater is installed in a large open room in a house, outdoor air is usually required because the modern home is very tightly sealed and usually does not provide enough air for the water heater. However, when installed in a large indoor space, it provides enough air without external ventilation. If you are not sure if there is adequate ventilation in your installation location, please contact your local gas company or agent for a safety check or simply vent the water heater.
The instructions below will help determine if the water heater can be installed without outdoor ventilation.
Calculate the total BTU/h rating of all equipment. To calculate the required combustion air and ventilation, add the BTU/h rating of all gas appliances (e.g. water heaters, furnaces, dryers) in the same area. Do not include appliances that are directly ventilated. See the example below. The BTU/h rating of your water heater is on the nameplate. The BTU/h rating should be on the rating plate of the other gas appliance. If you are unsure of the BTU/h rating, contact the manufacturer or have qualified personnel to determine the ventilation requirements.
NOTICE: If you are replacing an old water heater with a BTU/h rated higher water heater, the amount of ventilation required may be greater.
Example: | BTU/h rated |
Gas appliance | |
Gas water heater | 100,000 |
Stove | 75,000 |
Dryer | 20,000 |
Total | 195,000 |
Your appliance: | BTU/h rated |
Gas appliance | 100,000 |
Gas water heater | 100,000 |
Total |
Note: Adjacent rooms with permanently open doorways can be counted as part of the calculation. Calculate the amount of air required to install in an unrestricted attic, with a water heater in the garage or space requiring a space of at least 50 ft³ (1.42m³) total input of all gas appliances in the same area per 10,000 BTU/h the amount. Required air volume (ft³) = total energy level of the equipment (Btu/h) x 50 ft³/1000 (Btu/h) Example: (294,000/1000) x 50 = 14,700 ft³ If the air volume in the room is less than the required air volume, the water heater must be ventilated or lifted directly. (645 cm²) installation area if Use metal blinds rated at 75% free zone (100 in²÷ 0.75 = 134 in²), then A 134 inch 2 (865 cm²) opening is required. If you don't know the % available area of the blinds or grill, use the following values:
Calculating the amount of air in a room The air demand depends on the size of the room. Room volume (ft³) = floor area (ft³) x ceiling height (ft) If there are large objects in the room (such as refrigerators, stoves, cars), subtract their volume. You can better estimate the available air. Air volume = room capacity - object capacity
Provide a permanent external air opening to draw in enough air. If you want to provide combustion air for outdoor ventilation, go to "Using Outdoor Ventilation Installation". If the amount of air in the room is greater than the amount of air required, the water heater can be installed without external ventilation. However, the impact of the exhaust fan must be considered. Exhaust fans can affect the amount of combustion air available in your home. Electric appliances such as stoves, whole house fans and dryers will let the air out of the house. If the air they pump out is faster than it can be replaced, your water heater may not have enough oxygen to properly ignite. It may also result in back drafting, ie when negative air pressure is drawn back through the chimney or appliance vents. These events can cause unsatisfactory water heater performance. The best solution is to direct the water heater directly to vent or install a sufficient number of supplementary vents.
Installation for outdoor ventilation is recommended for outdoor air ventilation and is required for most installations. There may be adequate ventilation or you may need to increase ventilation. Supplying outside air to a water heater typically requires two openings. One opening must be 12 inches (305 mm) from the floor and the second opening must be 12 inches (305 mm) from the ceiling. Although a single opening is not preferred, if a minimum free area is determined according to Table. 1. A single opening can be used to enter the outside air. When using air from another room for ventilation, two openings must be used. The outside air can be taken out of the crawling space or attic, leading to the outside and fully ventilated. You can use vertical or horizontal pipes. Several types of ventilation can be used to determine the type of ventilation. The various options are listed below. Directly to the outdoors 2. Vertical pipe 3. Horizontal pipeline 4. Single opening (not recommended; must be at least 100 in2 (6.5 cm²). Not applicable to confined spaces of less than 50 ft3(1.42 m³)per 1000 BTU/hour or from another The air in the room.) each vent are sized depending on the total BTU/h rating of all appliances in the space (using the "before" calculation) and the type of vents used. Table 1 provides the minimum free area for each vent, depending on the type of ventilation. Calculating the minimum size of the vents and piping The venting cross-sectional area required to provide a free area depends on the covering on the vent. Typical vents use shutters or grilles to protect the opening. The blinds or grill itself block some free areas, so the openings may need to be larger to meet the minimum free area requirements. Calculate the required cross-sectional area using the following formula: Cross-sectional area = minimum required free area percentage of free area covered (in decimals - Eg, 60% = 0.6) For example, an opening of 100 in2 is required.

- Turn off the power supply to the water heater.
- Close the manual water shut off valve.
- Open all hot water taps in the house (Bathroom, kitchen, laundry, etc.). When the residual water flow has ceased, close all hot water taps.
- Have a bucket or container to catch the water from the unit's drain plugs. Unscrew the drain plugs to drain all the water out of the unit.
- Wait a few minutes to ensure all water has completely drained from unit.
Clean the filter:
- Check the water filter located within the cold inlet. With a tiny brush, clean the water filter of any debris which may have accumulated and reinsert the filter back into the cold water inlet.
- Securely screw the drain plugs back into place. Hand-tighten only.

- Remove by turning counter clockwise and then clean and replace.
- 1. Turn off the water inlet supply valve. 2. Open a hot water tap to release the line pressure.
6.3 Clean Burners
It is imperative that control compartments, burners, and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
Clean as follows:
- Turn off and disconnect electrical power. Allow to cool.
- Close the water shut off valves. Remove and clean the water inlet filter.
- Remove the front panel by removing 4 screws.
- Use pressurized air to remove dust from the main burner, heat exchanger, and fan blades. Do not use a wet cloth or spray cleaners on the burner. Do not use volatile substances such as benzene and thinners. They may ignite or fade the paint.
- Use soft dry cloth to wipe cabinet.
6.4 Visual Inspection of Flame
Verify proper operation after servicing. The burner must flame evenly over the entire surface when operating correctly. The flame must burn with a clear, blue, stable flame. See the parts breakdown of the burner for the location of the view ports. The flame pattern should be as shown in the figures below.

WARNING: Do not check the safety valve when the water heater is in normal operation to avoid hot water burns.
- The dirt will directly affect the normal function of the safety valve function. It requires hot water system maintenance of anti-fouling and anti-scaling cleaning.
- The user must check the relief valve at least once a year. When checking, turn off the water heater's power supply and gas. Turn on the water inlet switch to create pressure in the water system. Then gently open relief valve handle until there is water out and then gently close, if there is no water out, indicating that the valve is invalid, this time should immediately turn off the water heater water switch and ask the service personnel to deal with. Before operating the handle, check the discharge line connecting the valve to ensure that the water drained from the valve can be drained to a suitable place.
6.5 Pressure Relief Valve Maintenance
WARNING: Testing the pressure relief valve should only be performed by a licensed professional. Water discharged from the pressure relief valve could cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds.
WARNING: Before manually operating the pressure reducing valve, check that the hot water is discharged in a safe place. If water cannot escape from the end of the drain, turn off the air supply and turn off the power and call a qualified person to determine the cause. See the manufacturer of the pressure relief valve for inspection and maintenance requirements.

6.6 Freeze Prevention
WARNING: If freezing conditions are expected, turn off water and gas and drain all water from the appliance. If power and the automatic frost protection are connected freezing will be prevented.
- Only the pipes and heat exchanger inside the water heater will be protected.
- Any hot or cold water pipes located outside of the unit will not be protected.
- Proper protection and insulation of these pipes will be required to ensure these are protected from freezing.
1. Turn Water Off
2. Turn Gas Off
3. Turn Off The Power Supply
4. Drain Water

Antifreeze Tips
- When the temperature is below 46.4 °F (8°C)while above 37.4 °F (3 °C), keep your water heater staying plugged in a 120V 60HZ power supply, the anti-freeze system will automatically heat up to prevent the water heater from damages. No manual work is needed.
- If the machine is not used for a long time, or if the ambient temperature is below 32 °F (0 °C) and the machine cannot be kept powered with electricity and gas, it is necessary to drain the water from the water heater to prevent damage due to freezing. And here is the process:
- 1. Turn off the gas shut-off valve.
- 2. Power off the water heater and unplug the power supply to the machine.
- 3. Turn off the water supply shut-off valve.
- 4. Turn on hot water taps in the house, to release the water and pressure in the pipes.
- 5. Screw out the drain screw on the hot water outlet.
- 6. Remove the inlet water filter from the cold water inlet and it's valve by turning counterclockwise.
- 7. Use a bucket to collect the residual water while draining. It may take more than 10 minutes to drain out the water thoroughly.
- 8. Securely screw the drain screw back in place; and screw the inlet water filter back in place.
- 9. Before you use the water heater next time, plug it into a 120 V 60 Hz power supply, and power on the water heater, and then open the water supply valve, hot water outlet valve, and the gas valve.
CAUTION: Please note damages caused by freezing are NOT covered under the tankless water heater warranty as an industry standard. Please make sure to take all the measures to protect your water heater.
6.7 Minimum Load Adjustment Method
Set the temperature on the controller to 35 °C and increase the inlet water temperature so that the outlet temperature is above 35 °C. It then proves that the water heater is operating at its minimum heat load.
6.8 Gas Pressure Test Position
Diagram showing the gas pressure test position.
The gas inlet has a pressure measuring nozzle. The inlet gas pressure can be measured by unscrewing the screw.
CAUTION: Please close the gas valve before connecting the measuring instrument. Avoid accidents such as fires.
