AFTER START-UP

Feel the inlet and outlet pipes. Outlet pipe should be only

slightly warmer than the inlet. It should not be hot.

VISUAL INSPECTION

With the heater on, remove the door and make a visual

check of the pilot and burner. The flame should be blue

with a well-defined pattern.

PILOT BURNER FLAME

A yellow or "floating" flame indicates restricted air open-

ings or incorrect orifice size. Should this occur, shut the

heater off and contact your installer or gas supplier.

WATER PRESSURE SWITCH

A water pressure switch is provided in the heater to shut

off the burners in the event that water supply to the heater

is interrupted. It is very important to verify that the switch

electrically opens and shuts off the gas valve when water

flow to the heater is interrupted. Otherwise, rapid and

severe damage will likely occur to the heater. (The water

pressure switch should be checked and adjusted for

proper operation by a qualified service person at the time

of installation and periodically checked thereafter. Refer

to Pressure Switch Adjustment on pg. 34 of this manual).

SECTION 2 - CAUTION

Elevated water temperature can be hazardous, and the

U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recom-

mends the following guidelines:

1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never

exceed 104°F (40°C). A temperature of 100°F (38°C)

is considered safe for a healthy adult. Special

caution is suggested for young children.

2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa

or hot tub use can cause drowsiness which could

lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in

drowning.

3. Pregnant Women Beware! Soaking in water over

102°F (39°C) can cause fetal damage during the first

three months of pregnancy resulting in the birth of a

brain-damaged or deformed child. Pregnant women

should stick to the 100°F (38°C) maximum rule.

4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should

check the water temperature with an accurate ther-

mometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in

regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F

(2.2°C).

5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease,

circulatory problems, diabetes, or blood pressure

problems should obtain a physician's advice before

using pools or hot tubs.

6. Persons taking medications which induce drowsi-

ness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines, or anti-

coagulant, should not use spas or hot tubs.

SECTION 3 - MAINTENANCE AND

CARE PROCEDURES

To be followed one month after start-up and then semi-

annually.

1. Inspect top of heater and drafthood for soot, a sticky

black substance around finned tubes and "V"

baffles), and open flue gas passage ways. Any visible

soot should be cleaned for proper operation.

WARNING: Operation of the heater without water

circulation will cause rapid and severe damage to the

heater.

CAUTION: Soot may be combustible. Wet sooted

surfaces completely prior to cleaning. Do not use steel

wire brush.

2. Clean main burners and pilot burner of dust and lint.

3. Inspect and operate all controls, gas valve and

pressure relief valve.

WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas

supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control

to the appliance.
