ECCOTEMP 6.8GB-ILP (01) PDF Document

The following table outlines the technical specifications for the ECCOTEMP 6.8GB-ILP series:

The temperature rise capabilities of the ECCOTEMP 6.8GB-ILP at various flow rates are as follows:

If you smell gas, follow these steps immediately:

• DO NOT try to light any appliances.

• DO NOT touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

• DO NOT return to your home until authorized by the gas supplier or fire department.

Before operating, read all safety information. This water heater does not have a pilot; it is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.

1. STOP! Read the safety information located on the label of the unit.

2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance.

3. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.

4. DO NOT attempt to light the burner by hand.

5. Turn the Gas Shut-Off Valve located on the outside of the unit clockwise to the “OFF” position.

6. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow the safety instructions regarding gas leaks. If you don’t smell gas, go to the next step.

7. Turn the Gas Shut-Off Valve located on the outside of the unit counterclockwise to the “ON” position.

8. Turn on all electric power to the appliance.

9. Set thermostat to desired setting.

10. If the appliance will not operate, follow the instructions “To Turn Off Gas To Appliance” and call your service technician or gas supplier.

1. Turn off all electric power to the appliance if service is to be performed.

2. Turn the Gas Shut-Off Valve located on the outside of the unit clockwise to the “OFF” position.

1. Make sure the gas type you will use is the same as the type on the data plate.

2. Turn on the main gas valve, plug in the power cord (be sure the socket is well grounded), and press the “ON/OFF” button on the control panel. Set temperature to 120°F.

3. Turn on the faucet, and the fan will begin working. You will hear the ignition sound after a few seconds. The burner will ignite, and hot water will come out. If the burner is not ignited successfully, the ignition sound will last a few seconds. If the burner still fails to ignite, turn off the faucet and wait for 10-20 seconds, and repeat the above procedures.

This model can memorize and save the last set temperature on the remote control with “priority”. If no remote control has “priority”, the set temperature of the water heater will be the same as the set temperature of the remote control which starts the water heater.

• The remote control is factory preset to 110°F.

• To turn the remote control ON or OFF, press the POWER button for more than 3 seconds.

• To adjust the temperature to a required setting, in “priority” mode, press the UP or DOWN temperature button. Press and hold UP or DOWN to raise or lower the temperature continuously.

• When the water heater is in use, the set temperature can increase to 122°F, but there is no limit to temperature decrease. To increase the temperature more than 122°F, the water will need to be shut off first.

1. Make sure the water heater is OFF and the electrical power supply has been disconnected.

2. Turn the water supply OFF to the heater.

3. Unscrew the water filter, and slide the filter out.

4. DO NOT tap the filter as it may deform and/or damage the filter.

5. To remove severe dust, use a soft brush and wash with running water.

6. Return the filter to the water heater and screw in the filter.

7. Turn the electrical power supply and cold water supply ON to the water heater.

To prevent water scale, lime, or rust deposit buildup and ensure your ECCOTEMP 6.8GB-ILP tankless water heater is running as efficiently as possible, it is highly recommended that you clean your water heater every 6 months. It is recommended to use an Eccotemp EZ-Flush System Descaler Kit for this process.

When the temperature falls below 32°F, follow these instructions to drain the water heater:

1. Turn off the switch on the remote control.

2. Close the gas shut-off valve(s).

3. Close the water shut-off valve.

4. Turn the on/off switch to the OFF position and disconnect the breaker at least 10 seconds after step #1.

5. Open the drain valve.

6. Open all hot water faucets. Before proceeding to the next step, make sure that COLD water is coming out of all hot water faucets.

7. To put the water heater back into operation after draining, reinstall the water filter. Close the hot water outlet drain valve.

8. Open the water shut-off valve and close again after making sure that water comes out from hot water faucets (This step is to remove air from the water lines).

9. Reconnect the breaker and turn the on/off switch to the ON position, fully open the gas shut-off valve and the water shut-off valve.

If an error code is displayed, close the hot water faucet, turn off the switch on the remote, wait 5 minutes, turn it back on, and open the faucet. If the code persists, refer to the table below:

Water heaters with Anti-Freezers have an automatic heating device and will help to avoid freeze damage, but the power must be kept on. Freezing will occur with no power. In very cold areas and when the temperature is under 32°F, or in event of an ice storm, freezing will occur as the heating power limit is exceeded. The anti-freezing device works for the water heater only, and not for the inlet and outlet water pipes.
