START UP PROCEDURES — FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
Filling the Booster Piping
Fill the booster heater with water, purging all air. Make sure water is flowing through the booster to
the dishwasher's fill or final rinse before lighting the booster heater by either leaving the main power
switch off on Stand Alone units or leaving the manual gas valve closed on Dishwasher Activated units.
Checking the Circulator
Before lighting the heater, make sure the water pump is operating properly.
With the gas valve in the off position, activate the power switch. If no power switch is present,
activate the dishwasher making a demand for hot rinse water.
The pump should start immediately. Allow the circulator to pump water through the system.
Lighting the Heater
CAUTION: Liquefied petroleum gas is heavier than air and sinks to the ground. Exercise
extreme care in lighting the heater in confined areas.
WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION
MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE.
This heater DOES NOT have a pilot. It is equipped with a hot surface ignition device which
automatically lights the burner. DO NOT attempt to light the burner by hand.
Before operating, smell all around the heater area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because
some gases are heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
Use only your hand to push in, move, or turn the gas control knob or lever. Never use tools. If the
knob or lever will not push in, move, or turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a qualified service
technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
Do not use this heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the heater and replace any part of the control system and any gas control that
has been under water.
