ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

GOING ON HOLIDAYS
If you plan to be away from home for one or two nights, we suggest you leave
the water heater switched on. However, if you plan to stay away more than a
few nights, the gas knob can be set to the red star “ ” (pilot) position (facing
the front) to conserve energy (refer to steps 1, 2 and 4 of “Close Down
Procedure” on page 43).
If it is necessary to turn off the water heater, refer to “To Turn Off The Water
Heater” on page 7.
Note: When turned back on from the red star “ ” (pilot) position or white dot
“” (off) position, the water heater may take up to an hour to reheat if the water
has lost temperature.
