Page 6: Installation Instructions
Heater placement and clearances The GWH 1600 PS is design certified for installation on a combustible wall (see 3.4 Mounting installation) provided the floor covering below the heater is noncombustible. For installations in an alcove or closet, maintain the minimum clearances to combustible and non-combustible materials listed below. - Page 7 Mounting Heater Warning: before starting installation: B check that there are no loose parts inside the appliance B ensure that gas pipe, gas valve, and burner have no damage and are properly fitted. B Read chapter 2.2 to verify proper gas type and to check all parts are included in box.
- Page 8 Installation instructions Combustion air requirements The AquaStar water heater holds cold water in its copper heat exchanger and water valve when not in use. Because of this, any cold air that comes down through the unit's vent pipe is capable of freezing these components.

Check for vent assembly blockage or combustion air blockage on the underside of the unit. Mineral scale build-up The GWH 1600 PS, when operated at lower temperatures settings, does not accumulate mineral build-up. If however, the heater is used at the higher temperature settings and the water has a high mineral content, periodic descaling may be necessary. - Page 19 Open cold water supply isolation valve and flush heat exchanger with clean water. 14. Shut cold water isolation valve and reconnect hot water supply to the water heater. 15. Open water isolation valves, and return the unit to service. Fig. 25...

3. If using a power vent, check the safety spillage switch reset button (the safety spillage switch is wired through the water heater's thermocouple circuit). The spill switch should be mounted at the top of water heater on the draft diverter (Consult power vent manual for location). -
Page 21: Burners Do Not Light With Water Flow
Recalibrate thermostat for cooler outlet temperatures. (See chapter 4.4). 4. The GWH 1600 PS is designed to modulate gas flow to the burners when water flow varies. If the water pressure in the home is erratic and the water flow is not consistent while a tap is opened, then the temperature of hot water will fluctuate. -
