meral Safety Precauti .._. is
Be sure to read and understand the entire Use & Care Manual before attempting to install or operate this water heater. Pay particular attention to the fol-
lowing General Safety Precautions. Failure to follow these warnings could result in a fire or explosion, causing property damage, bodily injury or death .
Should you have any problems understanding the instructions in this manual, STOP, and get help from a qualified installer or service technician or the gas
supplier.
A WARNING
Gasoline, as well as other flammable materials and liquids
(adhesives, solvents, etc.), and the vapors they produce,
are extremely dangerous. DO NOT handle, use or store
gasoline or other flammable or combustible materials
anywhere near or in the vicinity of a water heater. Be sure
to read and follow the warning Zabel pictured below and
other labels on the water heater, as well as the warnings
printed in this manual. Failure to do so can result in prop-
erty damage, bodily injury, or death.
A DANGER
Failure to install the vent system and properly vent the
water heater to the outdoors as outlined in the Installa-
tion Section of this manual can result in unsafe opera-
tion of the water heater. To avoid the risk of fire, explo-
sion, or asphyxiation from carbon monoxide, never op-
erate this water heater unless it is properly vented and
has an adequate air supply for proper operation. Be sure
to inspect the vent system for proper installation at ini-
tial start -up; and at least annually thereafter. Refer to
Maintenance section of this manual for more informa-
tion regarding vent system inspections.
A DANGER
A Vapors from flammable
liquids will explode and
catch fire causing death or
severe burns
Do not use or store flammable
products such as gasoline,
solvents or adhesives in the
same room or area near the
water heater.
Keep flammable products:
1. far away from heater,
2. in approved containers,
3. tightly closed and
4. out of children's reach.
Installation:
Do not install water heater
where flammable products will
be stored or used unless the
main bumer and pilot flames
Water heater has a main
bumer and pilot flame.
The pilot flame:
1. Is on all the time and
2. will ignite flammable
vapors.
Vapors:
1. cannot be seen,
2. are heavier than air,
3. go a long way on the
floor and
4. can be carried from
other rooms to the pilot
flame by air currents.
are at least 18" above the
floor. This will reduce, but not
eliminate, the risk of vapors
being ignited by the main
burner or pilot flame.
Read and follow water heater warnings and instructions. If owners
manual Is missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer.
2
A DANGER
LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS — Propane, or LP
gas, must be used with great caution.
• It is heavier than air and will collect first in lower areas
making it hard to detect at nose level.
• Make sure to look and smell for LP leaks before at-
tempting to light appliance. Use a soapy solution to
check all gas fittings and connections. Bubbling at a
connection indicates a leak that must be corrected.
When smelling to detect an LP leak, be sure to sniff
near the floor too.
• Gas detectors are recommended in LP applications
and their installation should be in accordance with
the manufacturer's recommendations and /or local
laws, rules, regulations or customs.
• It is recommended that more than one method be used
to detect leaks in LP applications.
IF LP GAS IS PRESENT OR SUSPECTED:
• DO NOT attempt to find the cause yourself;
• DO NOT try to light any appliance;
• DO NOT touch any electrical switch;
• DO NOT use any phone in your building.
• Leave the house immediately and make sure your fam-
ily and pets leave also.
• Leave the doors open for ventilation and contact the
gas supplier, a qualified service agency or the fire de-
partment.
• Keep the area clear until the service call has been
made, the leak is corrected, and a qualified agency
has determined the area to be safe.
A WARNING
Both LP and natural gas have an odorant added to help
detection. Some people may not physically be able to
smell or recognize this odorant. If unsure or unfamiliar
about the smell associated with LP or natural gas, ask the
gas supplier. Other conditions, such as "Odorant Fade ",
which causes the odorant to "fade ", or diminish in intensi-
ty can also hide or camouflage a gas leak.
A DANGER
Water heaters utilizing Liquefied Petroleum gas (LP) are
different from natural gas models. A natural gas heater will
not function safely on LP gas and vice versa. No attempt
should ever be made to convert a heater from natural gas
to LP gas. To avoid possible equipment damage, personal
injury or fire: DO NOT connect this water heater to a fuel
type not in accordance with unit data plate. Propane for
propane units. Natural gas for natural gas units. These
units are not certified for any other type fuel.
A WARNING
LP appliances should not be installed below -grade (for
example, in a basement) if such installation is prohibit-
ed by federal, state and /or local laws, rules, regulations
or customs.

rectly from and to the outside of the building. It therefore must be lo-
cated next to the outside wall, within the range of the telescopic ad-
justments illustrated in Fig. 3F and 3G. DO NOT attempt to extend the
air supply tube or inner flue vent tube beyond the dimensions shown.
B. Choose a tentative location where the vent terminal, when installed
outside on the exterior wall, will be at least nine (9) inches from any
opening through which flue gases could enter a building (door, win-
dow, etc.) and 18 inches from any overhang, building corner or other ir-
regularity. Do not locate the vent terminal under any deck or patio struc-
ture. The bottom of the vent terminal cap should be at least 12 inches
above grade (higher in areas of heavy snowfall). Additionally, the vent
terminal should be located at least 36" above any forced air inlet into the
building within ten (10) feet of the terminal. (Refer to Fig. 2. for details.)
The minimum clearance from combustible construction is 0 inches from
rear and top air tubes; 1" sides; and 3" from front of control. If the clear-
ances stated on the Instruction / Warning label, located on front of
heater differ from the aforementioned clearances, install heater ac-
cording to the clearances stated on the Instruction / Warning label.
A WARNING
"Combustible construction" refers to adjacent walls and ceilings,
and should not be confused with combustible or flammable products
and materials. Combustible and /or flammable products should never
be stored in the vicinity of this or any gas appliance.
C. Water heater may be installed on combustible floors, but not directly
on carpeting. If the water heater must be installed on carpeting, place
a metal or wood panel beneath water heater, extending beyond its full
width and depth at least 3 inches in all directions. If the water heater is
installed in an alcove or closet, the entire floor must be covered by the
panel.
D. A gas tired water heater should not be installed in a space where liquids
which give off flammable vapors are to be used or stored. Such liquids
include gasoline, LP gas (butane and propane), paint or adhesives and
their thinners, solvents or removers. Because of natural air movement
in a room or other enclosed space, flammable vapors can be carried
some distance from where their liquids are being used or stored. The
open flame of the water heater's pilot light or main burner can ignite
Introduction
these vapors causing an explosion or fire which may result in severe
burns or death to those in range, as well as property damage. For these
reasons installation of a gas fired water heater in a garage is not de-
sirable.
4
A WARNING
If a location in a garage is the only alternative, the gas water heater
should be installed so that the open flame of the pilot and main burn-
er are no less than 18 inches above the garage floor, unless specifi-
cally exempted from this by local code, rule, regulation or custom.
Raising the gas fired water heater will reduce but not eliminate the
possibility of lighting the vapor of any flammable liquids which may
be improperly stored or accidentally spilled.
The water heater must be located or protected so it is not subject to
physical damage, for example, by moving vehicles, area flooding etc.
Stand Kits to raise the water heater the required 18" above the floor
are available from the distributor or store where the water heater was
purchased. Request "Stand Kit, Part Number AS29061 ".
A CAUTION
The water heater should not be located in an area where leakage of
the tank or connections will result in damage to the area adjacent to
it or to lower floors of the structure.When such areas cannot be avoid-
ed, it is recommended that a suitable catch pan, adequately drained
be installed under the water heater.
A — Diameter of water
heater plus 2' min.
B — Maximum 1•R'
To open drain, line
should be at least %'
ID and pitched for
proper drainage.
Figure 1. — Auxiliary Catch Pan
NOTE: Auxiliary catch pan installation MUST conform to local
codes.
Catch Pan Kits are available in 16", 19", 22 ", 24 ", and 26;4" diameters
from the distributor or store where the water heater was purchased.
E. CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERES —The water heater should not be in-
stalled near an air supply containing halogenated hydrocarbons. For
example,the air in beauty shops, drycleaning establishments, photo
processing labs, and storage areas for liquid and powdered bleaches
or swimpool chemicals often contain such hydrocarbons. The air there
maybe safe to breathe, but when it passes through a gas flame, cor-
rosive elements are released that will shorten the life of any gas burn-
ing appliance. Propellants from common spray cans or gas leaks from
refrigeration equipment are highly corrosive after passing through a
flame. The limited warranty is voided when failure of water heater is
due to a corrosive atmosphere. (Reference is made to the limited war-
ranty for complete terms and conditions.)

4. WATER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS — Refer to Fig . 4 for suggested
typical installation. The installation of unions or flexible copper con-
nectors is recommended on the HOT and COLD water lines so that the
water heater may be easily disconnected for servicing if necessary.
The HOT and COLD water connections are clearly marked.
Install a shut -off valve in the cold water line near water heater.

have been installed as a separate component or it may be part of a
pressure reducing valve, water meter or water softener.
A check valve located in the cold water inlet line can cause a "closed"
water system. A closed system prevents the water, as it is being heat-
ed, from expanding back into the cold water supply line. Pressure can
build up within the heater causing the relief valve to operate during a
heating cycle. This excessive operation can cause premature failure
of the relief valve and possibly the heater itself.
Replacing the relief valve will not correct the problem. A method of pre-
venting pressure build -up is to install an expansion tank in the cold
water supply line between the heater and the check valve. Contact your
installing contractor, water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how
to control this situation.
IMPORTANT!! Do not apply heat to the cold water supply fit-
ting. If sweat connections are used, sweat tubing to adapter
before fitting adapter to cold water inlet of heater. Any heat ap-
plied to the cold water inlet will permanently damage the dip
tube.
4. RELIEF VALVE —A new combination pressure and temperature relief
valve, complying with the Standard for Relief Valves and Automatic
Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22, must
be installed in the opening provided on the water heater, at the time of
installation. (Refer to Fig. 4.) No valve of any type should be installed
between the relief valve and tank. Local codes shall govern the instal-
lation of relief valves.
Installation
The pressure rating of the relief valve must not exceed 150 PSI, the
maximum working pressure of the water heater as marked on the rat-
ing plate.
7
The BTUH rating of the relief valve must equal or exceed the BTUH
input of the water heater as marked on its rating plate.
Connect the outlet of the relief valve to a suitable open drain. Piping
used should be of a type approved for hot water distribution. The dis-
charge line must be no smaller than the outlet of the valve and must
pitch downward from the valve to allow complete drainage (by gravity)
of the relief valve and discharge line. The end of the discharge line
should not be threaded or concealed and should be protected from
freezing. No valve of any type, restriction or reducer coupling should be
installed in the discharge line.
5. TO FILL WATER HEATER — Make certain drain valve is closed. Open
shut -off valve in cold water supply line. Open each hot water faucet
slowly to allow air to vent from the water heater and piping. A steady
flow of water from the hot water faucet(s) indicates a full water heater.
A WARNING
Tank MUST be full of water before water heater is turned on. The water
heater's warranty does not cover damage or failure resulting from op-
eration with an empty or partially empty tank (dry fired).
6. GAS SUPPLY —The branch gas supply line to the water heater should
be clean %" black steel pipe or other approved gas piping material. A
ground joint union or ANSI design certified semi -rigid or flexible gas
appliance connector should be installed in the gas line close to the
water heater, and a manual gas shut -off valve should be installed in
the gas line prior to the union. The manual gas shut -off valve should
be at least 5 feet above the floor and readily accessible for turning on
or off. A sediment trap should be installed at bottom of the gas line.
(Refer to Fig. 4.)
A CAUTION
Do not attempt to convert this water heater for use with a different
type of gas other than the type shown on the rating plate. Such con-
version could result in hazardous operating conditions.
Compound used on threaded joints of the gas piping must be of the
type resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gas. Use compound
sparingly on male threads only. Do not use excessive force (over 31.5
Ft. Lbs.) in tightening the pipe joint at the thermostat inlet, particularly
if teflon pipe compound is used, as the valve body may be damaged.
The inlet gas pressure to the water heater must not exceed 14" w.c. for
Natural gas (an L.P. version of this model is not available). For purposes of
input adjustment, the minimum inlet gas pressure (with main bumer on) is
shown on the water heater rating plate. If high or low gas pressures are
present, contact your gas supplier for correction.
7. LEAK TESTING — The water heater and its gas connections must be
leak tested at normal operating pressures before it is placed in opera-
tion. Turn on the manual gas shut -off valve near the water heater (Refer
to Fig.4). Use a soapy water solution to test for leaks at all connections

and fittings. Bubbles indicate a gas leak that must be corrected. The
factory connections to the thermostat should also be leak tested after
the water heater is placed in operation.
A WARNING
Never use open flame to test for gas leaks, as bodily injury, property
damage or death could result.
PRESSURE TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM — The water
heater and its manual gas shut -off valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any high pressure testing of
that system at pressures in excess of /2 psi (14" W.C.). The water
heater must be isolated from the gas piping system by closing the
manual gas shut -off valve (Refer to Fig. 4), during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping at pressures equal to or less than
:psi (14" W.C.).
A WARNING
The manufacturer's warranty does not cover any damage or defect
caused by installation, attachment or use of any type of energy sav-
ing or other unapproved devices (other than those authorized by the
manufacturer) into, onto or in conjunction with the water heater. The
use of unauthorized energy saving devices may shorten the life of
the water heater and may endanger life and property. The manufacturer
disclaims any responsibility for such loss or injury resulting from the
use of such unauthorized devices.

ances in vicinity should be shut off, including their pilot lights,
to avoid vapors igniting.
NOTE: Flammable vapors may be drawn by air currents from
surrounding areas to the water heater.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
E. Do not allow combustible materials such as newspaper, rags
or mops to accumulate near water heater.
F. If there is any difficulty in understanding or following the OP-
ERATION or MAINTENANCE instructions, it is recommended
that a qualified person or serviceman perform the work.
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by
A CAUTION
this water heater that has not been used for a long period of
time (generally two weeks or more). HYDROGEN GAS IS EX-
TREMELY FLAMMABLE!! To dissipate such gas and to reduce
risk of injury, it is recommended that the hot water faucet be
opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using
any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If
hydrogen is present, there will probably be an unusual sound
such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to
flow. Do not smoke or use an open flame near the faucet at
the time it is open.
2. WATER TEMPERATURE SETTING— The temperature of the water
in the heater can be regulated by setting the temperature dial on front
of the thermostat. (Refer to Fig. 5.) The thermostat was adjusted to its
lowest setting before water heater was shipped from the factory. A set-
ting of 130 °F., or lower if local codes require, is recommended as a
starting point.
The wide reference mark near "Warm" on rim of temperature dial, rep-
resents an approximate water temperature of 120 °F. The long wide ref-

Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered when se-
lecting the water temperature setting of water heater's thermostat. The
lower the setting the greater the safety and savings in energy and op-
erating cost.
TIME / TEMPERATURE RELATIONSHIPS IN SCALDS
A DANGER
HOTTER water increases the risk of scald injury.
Table courtesy of Shriners Burn Institute
NOTE: Households with small children or invalids may require a
120 °F. or lower thermostat setting to prevent contact with "HOT"
water.
Maximum water temperatures occur just after burner has shut off. To
find hot water temperature being delivered, turn on a hot water faucet and
place a thermometer in the hot water stream and read the thermome-
ter.
Mixing valves for reducing point of use water temperature by mixing hot
and cold water are readily available. Contact a qualified plumber or the
local plumbing authority for further information.
3. ADJUSTMENTS —There are no user adjustments (other than water
temperature selection) required on this water heater. The thermostat-
is valve is equipped tor total regulation of the main burner and pilot gas
pressures. The burner does not require adjustment.
.^� HIGH ALTITUDE— Ratings of gas appliances are based on sea level
operation and need not be changed for installations at elevations up
to 2,000 feet. For installations above 2,000 feet, the input must be re-
duced per the National Fuel Gas Code for each 1,000 feet above sea
level. Contact the local gas supplier for further information.
Operation
4. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN—
A WARNING
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off
the manual gas control valve to the appliance.
If water heater has been subjected to fire, flood, or physical damage turn
off the manual gas control (shut -off) valve, and do not operate the water
heater again until it has been checked by qualified personnel.
NOTE: Replace any part of the gas control system which has been
under water.
5. SAFETY CONTROLS —The thermostat is constructed with a built in
safety shutoff device designed to shut off the gas supply to the burner
in the event the pilot flame is extinguished for any reason. The ther-
mostat is equipped with single use gas shut -off device that will shut oil
the gas supply to the burner, if the water in the water heater exceeds
normal operating temperatures. Refer to the Trouble Shooting Section
of this manual, or contact your dealer for service.
6. CONDENSATION— Condensation can form on the tank when it is first
filled with cold water. The condensation might also occur with a heavy
water draw and very cold inlet water. Drops of water falling on the burn-
er can produce a sizzling or pinging sound, and water may also be seen
beneath the water heater. This condition is not unusual, and will dis-
appear after the water in the water heater becomes heated. If, howev-
er, the condition is continuous, examine the piping and fittings for pos-
sible leaks.
7. VACATION AND LONG TIME SHUT -DOWN — If the water heater is to
remain idle for an extended period of time, the gas should be turned
off to conserve energy. The water heater and piping should be drained
if they might be subjected to freezing temperatures.
NOTE: Refer to hydrogen gas caution, Safety Precautions.
After a very long shut -down period, the water heater's operation and
controls should be checked by qualified service personnel. Make cer-
tain the water heater is filled before placing it again in operation .
8. DRAINING WATER HEATER—
A CAUTION
Shut off gas at thermostat gas cock or supply line manual shut -off
valve before draining water from the water heater.
In order to drain water, turn off cold water supply, then it is necessary
to open a hot water faucet or lift the handle on the relief valve to admit
air to the tank. Attach a garden hose to the drain valve on the water
heater and direct the stream of water to a drain where it will do no dam-
age.
A DANGER
The water drained from the tank may be hot enough to present a SCALD
HAZARD and should be directed to a suitable drain to prevent injury
or damage.
9. ANODE —This water heater is equipped with an anode rod designed
to prolong the life of the glass lined tank. The anode rod is slowly con-
sumed catholically protecting the glass lined tank, thereby eliminating
or minimizing corrosion. Water sometimes contains a high sulfate and /or
mineral content and together with the cathodic protection process can
produce a hydrogen sulfide or rotten egg odor in the heated water.
Chlorination of the water supply should minimize the problem.
NOTE: Do not remove the anode rod from the water heater's tank,
except for inspection and /or replacement, as permanent removal
will shorten the life of the glass Tined tank and effect the water
heater warranty.
Maintenance
Properly maintained, your water heater will provide years of dependable
trouble free service. It is suggested that a regular routine maintenance
program be established and followed by the user. It is further recommended
that a periodic inspection of the thermostat, burner, relief valve, internal
flueway and venting system should be made by service personnel qualified
in gas appliance repair.
1. ROUTINE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
A. Inspect gas venting system to make certain vent terminal (outside
structure) is securely attached and free of obstructions. Inspect air
tube to make certain its components are securely fastened, caulked and
are in good condition. Make certain inner door on water is securely
fastened.
11
The burner, burner supply tube , pilot tube, thermocouple and inner
door can be removed as one piece. With the gas turned off at the gas
supply manual shut -off valve, remove the water heater jacket outer
door, remove the six sheet metal screws holding the inner door to the
water heater. Disconnect the burner supply tube , pilot supply tube and
thermocouple from the water heater thermostat. Do not remove the two
screws that fasten together the right and left halves of the inner door.
Remove the burner and inner door assembly.
To replace assembly, reverse the above procedure. Tighten all con-
nections and leak test using a soapy water solution. DO NOT use open
flame to leak test gas connections as a fire or explosion might result,
causing property damage, bodily injury or death. Make certain inner
door gaskets are properly positioned and are in good condition. This
is most important! Refer to lighting instructions and replace outer door
on water heater jacket.

A CAUTION
For your safety, this work should be performed ONLY by qualified
service personnel, as It involves disconnection of gas piping and leak
testing.
B. Visually inspect the burner annually, while firing, and pilot burner flame
with main burner off. (Refer to Fig. 6 for normal flame pattern.) If any un-
usual burner operation is noted, the water heater should be shut off
until qualified service assistance can be obtained.
Figure 6. — Main Burner and Pilot Flame Pattern
For cleaning, remove the burner from the water heater. A vacuum clean-
er can be used on the burner and floor shield inside the water heater.
The burner can also be cleaned by scrubbing with mild detergent.
A CAUTION
For your safety, cleaning of main burner should be performed ONLY
by qualified service personnel, as it involves disconnection of gas
piping and leak testing.
C. The area near the water heater must be kept free of flammable liquids
such as gasoline or paint thinners, adhesives and other combustible
materials.
D. For adequate combustion (proper burner operation) and ventilation,
make certain the flow of air to the water heater is not obstructed.
Maintenance
E. At least once a year, lift and release the lever handle on the tempera-
ture pressure relief valve, located near the top of the water heater, to
make certain the valve operates freely and allow several gallons to
flush through discharge line. Make certain the discharged water is di-
rected to an open drain.
NOTES
12
A DANGER
Before manually operating the relief valve, make certain no one will be
exposed to the danger of coming in contact with the hot water re-
leased by this valve. The water may be hot enough to create a SCALD
hazard. The water released should be directed to a suitable drain to pre-
vent injury or damage.
NOTE: If the temperature and pressure relief valve on the water
heater discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal ex-
pansion in a "Closed" water system. Contact the water supplier
or your plumbing contractor on how to correct this. DO NOT plug
the relief valve outlet.
F. A water heater's tank can act as a settling basin for solids suspended
in the water. It is, therefore, not uncommon for hard water deposits to
accumulate in the bottom of the tank. Deposits should not be allowed
to accumulate as this can affect the service life of the water heater. It
is suggested that a few quarts of water be drained from the water
heater's tank every month. If sufficient hard water deposits accumu-
late, a rumbling or pounding sound can occur. There is no danger in-
volved and the efficiency of the water heater is not seriously affected,
but the noise can be annoying. Your plumbing contractor should be
contacted to clean the tank of these deposits.
G. Rapid closing of faucets or solenoid valves in automatic water using
appliances can cause a pounding "water hammer" sound. "Water ham-
mer" can be described as a banging noise heard in a water pipe fol-
lowing an abrupt alteration of the flow with resulting pressure surges.
Strategically located risers in the water pipe system can be used to
minimize the problem. Also water hammer arresting devices are usu-
ally available from your plumber or local plumbing supply store.
2. ANODE ROD INSPECTION —The anode rod should be removed from
the water heater's tank annually for inspection and replaced when more
than 6" of core wire is exposed at either end of the rod. Refer to Fig. 4
for anode rod location. Make certain cold water supply is turned off be-
fore removing anode rod.
