Quash Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 so winter is gettin here, and my place is gettin cold, and I grabbed my heater to install it. Only problem, aint no pic for directions or nothin, just words. Im supposed to turn indicator until pilot light goes ON. WTF, where is this pilot light? Link to comment
drdrew Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 what kind of heater is it? is there a thermostat? do you have a thermometer in the tank? do you have water in the tank? Link to comment
kennerd Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 1. Put the heater in the water (should never turn them on outside of the water: they'd crack from the heat.) 2. plug it in 3. turn the knob up until you see a light come on in the heater....can't miss it, I would think... By turning up the heat adjustment until the temp is set above the current water temp will cause the thermostat to activate the heater. Should be a little orange/red light, typically inside the glass tube. Link to comment
Quash Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 thanks kennerd, I turned it prolly 8 notches and was like when is this lite gonna come on, I was afraid Ima fry my tank. but you are right i had 2 more notches and it came on. you cant miss it Link to comment
kennerd Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 See how nice I can be? Now just keep it at the notch where it turned on and keep an eye on the temp so it doesn't boil things up too quickly. After a day, check the temp and jack it up a little more. Enjoy. Link to comment
birdman204 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 some thermos require adjusting. let it sit in the tank for 10 minutes before plugging it in Link to comment

Chronicles Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 This is the reason I put my other heater in a box and bought one that I set to 78 degrees and be done with it. Link to comment
kennerd Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Chronicles can't visualize a bright light either.......Stevie Wonder with a Nano..... Link to comment
