DESCRIPTION OF APPLIANCE
The Morco EUP11 is an open flued 11 litre instantaneous gas water heater. The air for combustion comes from the external
vents in the cupboard that the heater is placed in and hence very careful attention must be paid to providing sufficient
ventilation. See section 3.c. Room Ventilation. The appliance is suitable for use in dedicated boiler cupboards in caravan
holiday homes. We do not recommend this appliance for use outside of a dedicated cupboard or in boats, motorhomes or
rooms in which habitation takes place. The appliance relies on a pilot flame to ignite the main burner once a hot tap is
opened. The appliance does not store hot water. The flow of the water through the appliance can be adjusted from 5.5 to 11
litres per minute and this corresponds to the temperature of the incoming water being increased by 50°C or 25°C
respectively. This adjustment is made via the water temperature adjustment knob and during winter months it is advisable to
move the knob fully anticlockwise to ensure hot water of an acceptable temperature.
In parts of the manual the following symbols are used:
WARNING

OPERATION
1.a. Function
The water heater is designed to produce instantaneous hot water. The hot water is delivered to several outlets around the home. If more
than one outlet is used at any one time the delivery of hot water will be reduced at each outlet. The Water heater has 2 main controls:
- A gas control knob - “A” in fig 1
- A water temperature control knob – “B” in fig 1
The minimum gas level in fig. 1 will provide approximately 50% of the available power. Turning the gas control knob counter- clockwise will
increase the power level between 50% and 100%. This function may be useful to vary the temperature of the water supplied.
The water temperature selector allows water to be supplied anywhere between 50% and 100% of the water heater’s capability. In effect the
selector reduces the water flow through the heater to the taps to increase the water temperature and correspondingly increases the water
flow to reduce the water temperature.
In the UK the normal positions for the controls are:
- Gas control – always set to 100% (fully counter clockwise)
- Water control set to 100% (fully clockwise) during the winter months
- Water control set to between 100% and 50% during the summer months to suit the customer’s preference for hot water temperature
1.b Usage
Ensure that the appliance gas isolation valve and all water taps are switched off
- Turn on the main external gas supply on the bottle or tank
- Light other gas appliances such as the cooker hob or fire and allow them to run for 30 seconds- this is to purge the gas system of air
- Open the appliance gas isolation valve, placed immediately below the water heater on the gas input pipe
- Rotate knob A to the on position (
), press the knob down all the way and keep it pressed
- Press the piezo electric button that is located under the water heater on the left-hand side until the spark ignites the pilot flame. The flame
can be seen through the viewing window on the front of the heater. When it ignites, keep the gas control knob (“A” in fig 1), pressed for
20-30 seconds. If the pilot does not stay lit when the knob is released, repeat the procedure
- Rotate Knob A towards the large flame ( ), during rotation it is necessary to keep the knob pressed down lightly until the final position
is reached
- From this moment the device is able to produce hot water on request. Opening the hot water tap causes the main burner to be ignited,
and inversely, by closing the hot water tap the main burner is switched off; but the pilot flame remains switched on for future requirements
- If the main burner or pilot flame is accidentally turned off, the gas valve automatically blocks the output of gas within 60 seconds so to
avoid any danger. To return the device to an operational mode, repeat the steps above
The machine is switched off by rotating knob
A
to the OFF position (●).
When the water heater is not used for long periods close the appliance gas isolation valve or the LPG gas valve on the bottle/tank.
For the best operational results it is recommended to have a Gas Safe Engineer or other qualified personnel service the machine at least
once a year.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN AGAINST FROST AND FREEZING CONDITIONS
If there is a possibility that the area where the appliance is installed could reach below 0°C, the device must be emptied of all water.
During cold spells, if your appliance is located in a place exposed to frost and freezing conditions, it must be drained down in the following
way:
- Turn off the home’s water inlet stop tap.
- Disconnect the water supply pipe from the home
- Open any drain cocks located on the hot/cold water pipework under the home
- Turn on all hot and cold water taps
- Turn appliance water temperature selector fully anticlockwise
- Disconnect the cold water inlet to the water heater

INSTALLATION
3.a
Regulations
The use of gas devices is controlled by precise regulations.
Installation of liquified petroleum gas (L.P.G) must comply with all
the manufacturer’s requirements and those of the regulations.
3.b
Wall mounting
Warning
Do not install this device in an area that contains dust, greasy
vapour and/or corrosive elements.
- The device must be installed on a suitable wall surface that
allows the fitting of a vertical exhaust gas flue
- It is vital to leave the minimal distances around the device as
shown in fig 4 to allow for maintenance operations to take place.
Location
The water heater requires a plentiful supply of fresh air for correct
operation. Fixed ventilators or air inlets should not be obstructed.
Do not install the water heater in a location where incomplete
combustion is foreseeable such as bathrooms or bedrooms unless
specifically allowed by national legislation.
The minimum low and high level free ventilation areas are stated
on this page and must be observed.
The water heater must be fixed to a load bearing wall in a vertical
plane.
3.c
Room ventilation
The installation of the water heater must comply with regulations in
force including any updates. See page 3
Warning: This device can only be installed in venues that are
permanently ventilated according to regulation in force.
• COMBUSTION GAS REMOVAL
A single wall vertical flue pipe of Ø110mm must be used and when
it passes through combustible materials, a metal sleeve of
Ø170mm must be used to allow an air gap of 25 mm. Part code
FTFCTG101.
Flue pipes and terminals should comply with BS 715. Terminals
shall not be sited within 300 mm. of a ventilator or open window. In
the U.K. full details of flueing requirements are given in BS EN 1949.
The overall length of the flue must be 600mm from the bottom of
the terminal louvres to the top of the water heater. At least 250mm
of this length must be external to the roof through which it is fitted.
• AIR SUPPLY FOR COMBUSTION
Air requirements: Reference is made to BS 5482 (BS EN 1949) and
EN 721 covering ventilation requirements for permanent dwellings,
caravans and boats.
Fixed ventilation should be provided to avoid draughts as far as
possible without impairing the free area of ventilation, even in ad-
verse weather conditions. If the heater is positioned in location
which may be subjected to strong draughts i.e. close to a window
or opening then strong draughts or gusts of wind may extinguish the
pilot.
All permanent openings for ventilation should be designed to pre-
vent the entry of vermin. Where screens are provided, they should
not have apertures of less than 6 mm. or greater than 9 mm. in any
direction, and they should be accessible for cleaning. Fine mesh screens
shall be avoided as they are liable to become blocked with dust.
The location of vents and the method of cleaning them should be
stated in the Owners Handbook (Caravans and Boats).
As a guide, the minimum effective free area of vents is stated below
in connection with this water heater. Additional appliances burning
gas in the same area would require additional ventilation.
If the appliance is installed in an enclosed cupboard in a Caravan
Holiday Home the required ventilation is that specified in BS 5482
part 2 and BS EN 1949, i.e. 10 cm² per kilowatt input rating divided
between high and low. Each of the high and low vents should
therefore be 109 cm² of free area.
3.d
Gas Connection
The water heater should be connected to the gas supply via a
15mm diameter copper gas pipe. A gas isolation valve must be fit-
ted to the gas inlet on the water heater.
When installing or commissioning the water heater the following
must be observed:
- The diameter of the gas pipe between the supply bottle or tank
must be in accordance with the regulations in force
- The regulator size and pressure specification are correct for the
application
- The correct gas (LPG) is being supplied
- All the required gas pressure and tightness tests are carried out
as part of the commissioning process.
- Gas joints downstream of the magnetic gas valve must be
checked
with leak detection fluid while the heater is running
- Gas jointing paste should not be used when connecting the gas
isolation valve
Do not obstruct the area’s ventilation openings where the device is
installed to avoid dangers such as the build-up of toxic and explosive
gases.
ATTENTION
: if the appliance is supplied with G31@50 mbar,
remove the protective cap (pos. 10 water heater components pag.
7) and regulate the pressure screw so that the burner reaches the
pressure indicate in the technical data.
fig. 4

3.e
Water connection
Connect the water heater to the water supply.
From the front, the cold water input is on the right and the hot water output is on the left.
Insert the filter into the water valve input fitting.
Remove the plastic cap from the water outputs fitting before connecting it to the water supply.
3.f
Flue Gas
For output of flue gases refer to the regulations in force including
any updates. See page 3.
The water heater must be connected to a suitable flue terminal. The
following must be observed:
- The flue must be installed vertically – through the roof of the
holiday home
- The diameter of the flue terminal must match that of the water
heater (110mm)
- The overall flue length from the top of the water heater to the top
of the external flue must be at least 600mm. The distance from
the external roof surface to the top of the external flue must be at
least at least 250mm.
Flue gas safety device
This product is equipped with a flue gas safety device. The device
ensures the flue gases leave the water heater safely via the flue. The
flue safety device marked as 2 in Fig.6 is a flue gas safety device
that will interrupt the flow of gas to the water heater burner and pilot
light in the event that there is a total or partial blockage in the flue
that does not allow the
flue gases to leave safely. The device will also
operate if the design or length of the flue is not correct. This stat will
reset when it has cooled down due to the technical issue being resolved
thus allowing the water heater to operate as normal.
If the flue gas safety device is faulty it will need to be replaced
before the water heater will function again. The stat must not be
removed or altered in any way otherwise the operation of the water
heater may become dangerous.

FOR THE ENGINEER
STARTING UP THE APPLIANCE AND FINAL CHECKS
Start the appliance by following the directions given in section 1b,
“Usage”, checking that the appliance is working correctly. Pay
special attention to the colour of the flames ensuring there is no
yellow- ness which would indicate burner venturis blocked by insect
matter.
Check the gas operating pressures with the heater under full power
at the inlet pressure nipple located on the right hand side of the gas
body valve stem. The pressure drop should not exceed 2.5 mb
below that specified in this manual.
Check the burner pressure with the heater at full load at the test
nipple located on the left hand side of the main gas valve body be-
low the main burner. These pressures must at least be equal those
specified in this manual in order to achieve the desired performance
specified in this manual.
These gas water heaters are set in the factory for use with the gas
they are intended to burn. The gas for which each appliance is set
is indicated on the packaging and on the data plate of the heater
itself
Check the flue for spillage: close all the doors and windows in the
room containing the water heater. If there are any fans or extractors
in the room then these must be turned on full. Light any other open
flued appliances such as fires of gas hobs. Turn the water heater
on by opening a hot tap on full burn and run for 5 minutes to allow
the flue to warm up.
Hold a smoke match to the side of the opening of the draught diver-
tor using an extended holder, making sure that the end of the match
is located centrally in the draught divertor.
The smoke should be pulled up the flue and not back into the room.
If spillage is detected, run the appliance for a further 10 minutes and
then repeat the test. If spillage is still detected then check the flue
for blockages, check that the correct flue terminal is fitted and that
the correct ventilation is fitted at a low and high level. Also check
the ventilation has not been blocked.
A.2.3. - LOOKING AFTER THE APPLIANCE
• PRECAUTIONS
– Against furring up (lime scale)
If the appliance is installed in an area with very hard water, with
time, the following may occur:
– A fall in the hot water temperature, or
– A reduction in the hot water flow.
This means that the heat exchanger may be furred up, creating the
above situations
Note: De-furring/descaling should be carried out using proprietary
agent or dilute hydrochloric acid. It is recommended to circulate the
descaling fluid around the heat exchanger in order to speed up the
process.
• MINIMUM ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
Gas water heaters are rugged pieces of equipment which are
designed to work for a long time with minimum maintenance
requirements. The only regular maintenance required is the
(annual) cleaning of the heating body and the burner. If the appliance
is installed in a caravan it is advised that this is done at the
beginning of each season.
•
CLEANING THE MAIN BURNER
To carry out the annual cleaning of the burner, proceed as follows:
– Turn off the gas supply, remove the cover and remove the burner.
– Clean the surface of the burner heads gently with a brush and
vacuum cleaner. Then blow through them to remove any particles
of dust loosened du- ring the brushing operation.
– Check the venturis i n t h e m a i n b u r n e r for contamination
from insects and spiders webs.
• CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER
To carry out the annual cleaning of the heating body, proceed as
follows:
– Turn off the gas supply
– Turn off the supply of water to the appliance by turning off the
appliance water supply.
– Turn on all the hot water taps to empty all the pipes.
– Remove the heating body and clean it by gently brushing the fins.
Soot, if found, should be removed by washing, and the cause of
the sooting investigated.
• CLEANING THE PILOT
If the pilot light flame is yellow and the safety valve takes a long time
to open, this means that either the pilot injector or pilot burner is
partially blocked.
The pilot injector may be blocked with contaminants carried within
the gas, whilst the pilot burner is more likely to be contaminated by
insects (spiders / egg sacs)
N.B. No attempt should be made to clear blocked or partially
blocked pilot injectors by using wire. If blowing through the injector or
immersing in solvent fails to clear the restriction, then a new injector
should be fitted.
When the pilot is working normally the flame should be a stable blue
coloured cone shape. To clean the pilot burner, proceed as follows:
– Turn off the gas supply, remove the front cover. Remove the pilot
injector, by slackening the supply pipe nut first, and unscrewing
the pilot injector from the pilot burner
– Remove the contamination from within the pilot burner using
a pipe cleaner, and blow through to remove any further debris.
– Replace the pilot injector, ensuring that the washers are properly
fitted.

If you leave fresh water in your caravan system over the winter you will run the risk of damage. This can only be avoided by
removing the fresh water from the system – we call this a “drain down”. You may wish to drain down the fresh water system
yourself using the procedure in the next section but we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you have this carried out by an
experienced engineer as many caravan systems can only be completely drained by blowing the water out and this requires
specialist equipment. View the £50-£60 charge for a drain down as a mini insurance policy and always ask the engineer if he has
equipment to blow the water out. The two most common parts to be damaged by frost are the shower valve and the water control
assembly in a water heater and the costs to replace these are around £100 each.
Drain Down Procedure – without specialist equipment
•
Turn off the fresh water supply stop cock outside the Holiday Home
•
Disconnect the fresh water feed outside the home if possible as this protects from flooding due to stop cock failure
•
Open all hot and cold taps and shower valves and place the shower head in the tray
•
Use the Holiday Home Owner’s Handbook to locate all the fresh water drain cocks under the van – some of these may not be
obvious
•
Open these drain cocks
This procedure does not guarantee that all the fresh water will leave the system. Most modern homes have double check valves in
the TMV2 shower mixers and these trap fresh water and stop the flow of water around the system once the drain cocks and taps
are open. It may appear that all the water has left the system, but beware! This pitfall can be avoided by removing the shower
mixer valve/valves from the system after the cold water supply has been switched off and the drain cocks opened. Many
manufacturers provide access panels and these may make the removal of shower mixers easier. Removal of some shower mixers
requires the use of special tools.
In addition, pipe work layouts can cause air locks leaving water inside vulnerable components such as the water heater or shower
mixer.
Re-commissioning the home is a reverse of the above procedure.
This drain down procedure may work but the only way to be sure is to blow the water out using compressed air at 3 bar maximum
pressure.
WARRANTY
The water heater is guaranteed against manufacturing defects for one year from first commissioning date. However the guarantee
is subject to proof of commissioning in accordance with the gas safety (Installation and Use) act of 1998. The guarantee does not
cover defects caused by lack of maintenance.

to base policy for repair and return.
As an alternative to returning the appliance for repair we will supply spare parts and advice for defective appliances on the provision
that we can talk to the competent registered gas safe engineer involved in the fitting or repair of the defective appliance.
Under
this approach, no compensation will be offered for labour involved in the removal and refitting of the appliance or for any work /
travelling involved in the fitting of
spare parts.
