WARNING
Do not attempt repairs on the gas control or
appliance. Tampering is dangerous and voids
all warranties.
WARNING
LP GAS: To avoid possible injury, fire and
explosion, read and follow these precautions
and all instructions on this appliance before
starting the heater. LP (propane) gas is
heavier than air and will remain at ground level
if there is a leak. Before lighting, sniff at
ground level. If you smell gas, follow these
rules:
1. DO NOT light matches. DO NOT turn
electric lights or switches on or off in area.
DO NOT use an electric fan to remove the
gas from area.
2. Shut off gas at LP tank.
3. Telephone gas company and fire
department for instructions. Give your
name, address and phone number.
If your LP tank runs out of fuel, turn off gas at
the appliance. After the tank is refilled, the
appliance must be re-started according to the
instructions located on the inside of the door.
3A. Start-Up Procedure
With any new pool or spa installation, run the
filter pump with the heater off long enough to
completely clean the water. This removes any
installation residue from the water. Clean the filter at

Header.
the end of this operation before starting the heater.
Do not operate the heater unless the pool is properly
filled with water.
When raising the temperature of water in a cold
pool, remove all time clock settings. This lets the filter
system and heater operate continuously until the water
reaches the temperature setting on the thermostat.
When that happens, the heater will shut off
automatically, but the filter pump will keep running.
Caution
Keep all objects off the top of the heater, and
do not obstruct louvre openings in heater
sides. Blocking ventilation air flow may
damage the heater and void the warranty.
3B. Temperature Controls
The Hi-E2 heater has a dual temperature control
which allows either of two different temperature
settings to be selected with the rotary switch on the
control panel. The owner can set one control for
normal use and the other for standby, or one might be
set for a pool and the other for a spa. Setting the rotary
switch to the middle position turns the heater off (see
Figure 25).
The temperature controls on the Hi-E2 cover a
range from approximately 70°F (21°C) to
approximately 104°F (40°C). Always use an accurate
pool thermometer to test the pool water temperature.
Once the correct position for the control knob is
determined, use the TEMP-LOK to keep it from going
any higher by positioning the tab next to the knob and
then tightening the screw. Note that the heater should
not be used to maintain pool or spa temperature below
70°F.
IMPORTANT: The temperature controls cannot
be calibrated in the field. If the temperature control
does not work, shut down the heater and replace the
temperature control. DO NOT use the temperature
control to shut the heater off. Remove the access door
and turn the main gas valve to OFF.
