· The time it takes to deliver hot water from the water heater to your fixtures depends on the length of piping between the two. The longer the distance or the larger the pipes, the longer it will take to get hot water.

The water is not hot enough.

· Compare the flow and temperature. See the chart on p. 24.
· Check cross plumbing between cold water lines and hot water lines.
· Is the gas supply valve fully open? (p. 18) · Is the gas line sized properly? (p. 12) · Is the gas supply pressure enough? (p. 13) · Is the set temperature set too low? (p. 23)

The water is too hot.

· Is the set temperature set too high? (p. 23)

· Make sure the unit has 240V 50Hz power supply.

· If you are using the remote controller, is the power button turned on? (p. 19 )

· Is the gas supply valve fully open? (p. 18)

The hot water is not available when a · Is the water supply valve fully open? (p. 18)

fixture is opened.

· Is the filter on cold water inlet clean? (p. 20)

· Is the hot water fixture sufficiently open to draw at least 3.0l/min through the water heater? (p. 19)

· Is the unit frozen?

· Is there enough LPG in the bottle? (for propane)

The hot water gets cold and stays cold.

· Is the flow rate enough to keep the water heater running? (p. 19)
· Is the gas supply valve fully open? (p. 18) · Is the filter on cold water inlet clean? (p. 20) · Are the fixtures clean of debris and obstructions?

· Is the filter on cold water inlet clean? (p. 22)
· Is the gas line sized properly? (p. 12) Fluctuation in hot water temperature. · Is the supply gas pressure enough? (p. 13)
· Check for cross connection between cold water lines and hot water lines.

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

The Unit does not ignite when water goes through the unit.
The fan motor is still spinning after operation has stopped.

· Is the flow rate over 3.0l/min? (p. 19) · Check for the filter on cold water inlet. (p. 20) · Check for reverse connection and cross connection. · If you use the remote controller, is the power button
turned on? (p. 19)
· This is normal. After operation has stopped, the fan motor keeps running for 15 ~ 75 seconds in order to re-ignite quickly, as well as push all exhaust gas out of the flue.

Notes on networking
When networking the product, please make sure that the mobile phone is as close as possibleto the product. According to the App tips, if the product only supports 2.4GHZ wifi communication, please note that the 2.4GHz network is selected for connection. Midea recommends WiFi router SSID names contain only alphanumeric values. If special characters, punctuation marks or spaces are used it might prevent the SSID name from showing up in the available networks to join in the App. Try it and if the SSID shows up then it is ok to use, otherwise log into the router and change the SSID name. A large number of devices on the WiFi router can affect network stability, there is no way that Midea can advise a specific number limitation as this depends on router quality and many other factors. If the router or WiFi name and WiFi password change, please repeat the above process to reconnect to the network. As the product technology is updated, the content of MSmartLife may change, and the actual display in MSmartLifeApp shall prevail.
