1. 

Stop, 

read the safety information

 on page 24. 

2. 

Turn the gas control knob fully clockwise to the “

z” (off) position. 

3.  Wait five (5) minutes so any build up of unburnt gas can escape. If you 

then smell gas, stop and follow “C” in the safety information. If you do not 
smell gas, proceed to step 4. 

4. 

Turn the knob to the “

·” (pilot) position. 

5.  Depress the knob fully (until star disappears below housing) and after 

30 seconds, whilst keeping the knob depressed, repeatedly press the 
igniter button (for up to 40 seconds) until the pilot flame ignites. 

Warning: Keep your face clear of the combustion chamber opening while 
pressing the igniter. 

Note: It is not possible to depress the knob fully if the gas control has 
activated its safety shut-off feature. In this case, wait 60 seconds for the 
gas control to reset. 

6.  Keep the knob depressed for 20 seconds after the pilot flame lights. The 

pilot can be checked by looking through the opening at the top of the front 
cover to view the flame in the reflector. 

7. 

Release the knob and check the pilot is still alight. 

8. 

If the pilot has failed to light or has not remained alight, turn the gas control 
knob to the "

z” (off) position. Wait five (5) minutes for any unburnt gas to 

escape and then begin again at step 3. 

9.  When the pilot flame remains alight with the gas control knob released, 

turn the knob anticlockwise to the setting of ‘6’. This will give a water 
temperature of about 60°C. 

10. Refer to 

“Temperature Adjustment”

 on page 4, if further temperature 

adjustment is required. 

The main burner will now automatically ignite when heating is required and 
extinguish when the water has been heated to the set temperature. If the main 
burner does not light at the selected setting, the water may already be at the 
selected temperature. 
 
Note: Never press the igniter button while the top knob is in a numbered 
position.
