ECCOTEMP 6.8GB-ING (01) PDF Document

The following table outlines the flow rates (in Gallons Per Minute) relative to the temperature rise (in degrees Fahrenheit) for the ECCOTEMP 6.8GB-ING water heater:

If you smell gas, follow these steps immediately:

1. DO NOT try to light any appliances.

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

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

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

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

To connect the remote control:

1. For one remote control: Plug the aviation joint into the socket directly on the water heater.

2. For two remote controls: First, cut off the aviation joints on the two controllers, plug one into the socket on the water heater (length is dependent on your requirements), and throw away the other. Then connect the wires of the aviation joint to the inlet wire of the connector, and connect the two remote controls to the outlet wires of connector.

To mount the remote control:

1. Remove the front cover of the Remote Control.

2. At the installation site, mark and screw two holes with 1/4” width and 1 1/5” depth. Insert two (2) rubber screws into the holes. Place the remote control against the wall, align the holes of control with the holes in the wall, and fasten them with wood thread screws.

3. Replace the front cover on the remote control.

Before operating, ensure you read all safety labels. 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 on the label.

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 and follow gas safety instructions. If you don’t smell gas, go to the next step.

7. Turn the Gas Shut-Off Valve located on the outside of 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. 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.

The temperature can be set using the remote control. The factory preset is 110°F, and the range is between 90°F and 140°F.

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

2. 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.

3. 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.

Note: If the BATH control is turned on, the temperature setting on the MAIN control cannot be changed. The BATH control(s) will always have PRIORITY over the MAIN control.

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.

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 tankless water heater is running as efficiently as possible, it is highly recommended that you clean your tankless water heater every 6 months. To do this, use an EZ-Flush System Descaler Kit.

Vacuum around the water heater for dust, dirt, and lint on a regular basis. Clean the water heater and remote control by using a damp soft cloth with a few drops of mild detergent and gently wiping the surfaces. Wipe any remaining moisture with a dry soft cloth. DO NOT scrub with a brush. DO NOT splash water on the remote controls.

If the water heater is to remain idle for an extended period, the power and water to the appliance should be turned off. If there is no power to the water heater, freeze protection does NOT work. The water heater and piping should be drained if they might be subjected to freezing temperatures. After a long shut-down period, the water heater’s operation and controls should be checked by qualified service personnel.

When the temperature falls below 32°F, follow these steps 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, make sure that COLD water is coming out of all hot water faucets.

1. Reinstall the water filter. Close the hot water outlet drain valve.

2. 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).

3. 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 control, wait 5 minutes, turn the switch back on, and open the hot water faucet.
