5 RULES FOR SAFE OPERA TION 1. Y ou should follow these instructions when you install your heater . In the United States: The installation must con- form with local codes or , in the absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/ NFP A 54.

7 LOCA TING YOUR HEA TER FOR SAFE PROPER COMBUSTION Carefully select the location of your new heater . For your safety and for proper heater operation, you must provide an abundant supply of combustion air and install a proper vent. The heater may still operate even when improperly installed.
8 heater . Use the adhesive tape which is included in the package to stick the pattern to the wall. Keep in mind that the heater needs to have cer- tain minimum clearances (See paragraph 7 on this page), and that the heater must be level. Drill four holes into the wall at the studs (16 inches on center) as indicated on the template.
9 3. Connecting the Gas Line In the United States: The installation must con- form with local codes or , in the absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223. 1/NFP A 54. In Canada: The installation should conform with CGA B149 INST ALLA TION CODES and/or lo- cal installation codes.
10 Sweat your cold water pipe to the AquaStar inlet elbow fitting. NOTE: The inlet filter screen and water flow restrictor can be damaged by heat if the cold water inlet elbow is attached to the AquaStar when it is sweated to the cold water inlet pipe.
11 is lighted. Keep the center knob pressed all the way in for at least 10 seconds after pilot is lighted. Release push knob and turn it clockwise to If pilot goes out, wait 5 minutes before relighting.
12 SETTING THE W A TER TEMPERA TURE The AquaStar 80 water heater contains a flow restrictor set at 3 1/4 gpm. Its purpose is to as- sure that the hot water temperature will always be within a comfortable range regardless of how high one may turn on the hot water faucet or how many faucets may be turned on.
13 valve discharges by itself, a problem exists and service is required. This could be due to a de- fective relief valve or to overheating. Pilot Flame: The pilot flame should burn with a clean sharp blue flame and should resemble Fig.4 below . If the flame is yellow , or if the central button Fig.
14 gas pressure. Excessive pressure will lock it up. This problem usually happens if the gas pressure between the gas tank and the water heater has not been reduced. See page 3 of your manual for specified gas pressures. T o unjam a regulator , remove the nickel size screw plug on the front.
15 3. Poor circuit connections at the ECO (Energy Cut-Off) Oxidation or looseness of the ECO screw con- nections can result in millivolt current loss through the thermocouple safety circuit. Clean terminals with very fine sand paper or an eraser and re- tighten terminal screws.
16 7. W ater valve parts may be dirty or compo- nents damaged. Note: If #4 is OK, skip this. W ater valve and component parts must be totally free of dirt. In hard water areas, mineral depos- its can eventually (3-5 years) corrode water valve parts to a point where they will need replacing.
17 2. W ater flow through the heater is higher than the capacity of the AquaStar to heat it If the AquaStar flow restrictor has been removed, the flow through the heater might be higher than its capacity to heat it. Reduce the flow to a range within which the heater can maintain temperature.
18 5. Cold water is mixing with the hot water between the AquaStar and the outlet Compare water temperature at outlet of AquaStar and at the tap. Check for automatic mixing valve plumbing crossover (see #6 - MAIN BURNERS DO NOT IGNITE WHEN HOT W A TER IS ON).

20 Thermostat Tubing to Heat Exchanger Calibration Screw Thermostat Piston Assembly Spring Correct height of spring - 5/32" or 4mm Note: Unless setting #8 (145° ± 5, this is scalding hot water) is needed for some rare occa- sion we highly recommend run- ning the heater on setting 4 or 5.
21 PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING A THERMOSTAT Into Left Side of Heat Exchanger 5. Pull down on the thermostat piston assembly to remove it from the gas valve. NOTE: There is a Steel Wedge and an "O" Ring which should come out with the piston assembly.
22 DESCRIPTION OF OPERA TION OF AQUAST AR 80/125 MODELS WATER PATH Cold water entering the Cold Water Inlet passes through a nylon mesh Water Filter Screen (#21) which filters out dirt and debris. Water then passes through the Water Flow Restrictor (#8) which prevents water flow from exceeding 3.
