Refer to the rating label on the water heater for the maximum test point gas pressure. 
Follow Steps 8 to 14 of the “Minimum  test  point gas  pressure” procedure 
on page 49, but open the hot tap fully and use the MAX button instead of 
the MIN button. It may be necessary to open two or three hot taps fully, 
depending  upon  the  model  of  water  heater  and  the  incoming  cold  water 
temperature. 
Note: In Step 9, “3H” (27 models) will be shown on the LED display. 
After setting the minimum and maximum test point gas pressures: 
  Close the hot tap. 
  Remove the manometer and refit and tighten the test point screw and washer. 
  Open a hot tap again so the burners ignite. 
  Test for gas leaks. 
  Close the hot tap. 
  Turn off the controller, if one is fitted, by pressing the on / off button. 
  Switch off the electrical supply at the power outlet to the water heater. 
  Refit the front panel and screws to the water heater. 
Clearing Error Code
