THE APPLIANCE WILL NOT IGNITE AT ALL
• Ensure new batteries are installed in the correct polarity (+/-).
Check the cap of the battery case for instructions on how they
should be installed. Check that batteries are not past their
expiration date.
• Check for sucient water ow and pressure. The unit must
have a minimum of 45kPa of sustained water pressure and
at least 4LPM to activate the burners. At high water ow, 70kPa
is required.
• Check that the water inlet lter is free from debris. To ush the
system, connect the blue input water hose to the red outlet
port on the Hottap and turn on the water ow. Once complete,
disconnect hose and set up Hottap as per
standard instructions.
• If you can hear the clicking sound of the igniter, the batteries
might be faulty or running low. This is particularly likely if you
can hear a slow 1-2 clicks per second (at full power, there
are 4-5 clicks per second). Check the expiration date of your
batteries and try a fresh set.

THE UNIT SHUTS DOWN SHORTLY AFTER STARTING
• Outlet water might have reached +50ºC, triggering the
automatic safety cutout. Increase the water ow and lower the
ame setting.
• Check the water ow and pressure. The unit must have a
minimum of 45kPa (at low water ow) of sustained water
pressure and at least 4LPM to activate the burners.
• Strong winds might have extinguished the ame. Ensure unit
is sheltered.
• If the unit turns o when you increase the water ow, you
either don’t have enough water pressure (perhaps using a
gravity feed or an undersized pump) or there is a blockage
somewhere. Check hoses for kinks and all lters, including the
threaded brass inlet tting on the Hottap, for debris.
THE WATER IS NOT HOT ENOUGH
• Adjust the red ame lever and the blue water ow dial.
For higher temperatures, turn the ame up and the water
ow down.
• The temperature of the input water might be too low. If this is
the case, you can cycle water between the appliance and a
source reservoir until it has reached your desired temperature.
• Check the quality of the ame through the viewing window.
If the ame is yellow rather than blue, the gas regulator
might have broken down. Immediately shut down the unit
and call Joolca Customer Service.
DO NOT attempt to use the appliance.
