water heater is a 5 star permanent pilot gas storage water
heater suitable for outdoor installation only. This water heater is not to be
used as a pool heater.
Water is stored in a vitreous enamel storage cylinder and heated by a gas
burner located under the cylinder. The heat produced by the burner is
transferred to the water through the base, top and side walls of the storage
cylinder with flue baffle rings capturing heat to improve efficiency. The gas
supply to the burner is controlled by a thermostat so that the water in the
storage cylinder is heated and then maintained at a constant temperature.
Automatic safety controls are fitted to the water heater to provide safe and
efficient operation.
