Spray can propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride (water softener salt), waxes and process chemicals are typical compounds which are potentially corrosive. Do not store products of this sort near the heater. Also, air which is brought in contact with the heater should not contain any of these chemicals. If necessary, uncontaminated air should be obtained from remote or outside sources. The limited warranty is voided when failure of water heater is due to a corrosive atmosphere. (Refer to the limited warranty for complete terms and conditions). EXTENDED NON -USE PERIODS A WARNING HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE PRODUCED IN A HOT WATER SYSTEM SERVED BY THIS HEATER THAT HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME (GENERALLY TWO WEEKS OR MORE). HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, 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. THERE SHOULD BE NO SMOKING OR OPEN FLAME NEAR THE FAUCET AT THE TIME IT IS OPEN. 3 Insulation blankets available to the general public for external use on gas water heaters are not necessary with A. O. Smith products. The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the standby heat loss encountered with storage tank water heaters. Your A. O. Smith water heater meets or exceeds the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act standards with respect to insulation and standby loss requirements, making an insulation blanket unnecessary. A WARNING Should you choose to apply an insulation blanket to this heater, you should follow these instructions (See Figure 1 for identification of components mentioned below). Failure to follow these instructions can restrict the air flow required for proper combustion, resulting in fire, asphyxiation, serious personal injury or death. • Do not cover the outer door, thermostat or temperature & pressure relief valve. • Do not cover the instruction manual. Keep it on the side of the water heater or nearby for future reference. • p.e obtain new warning and instruction labels from A.O. Smith for placement on the blanket directly over the existing labels. INSULATION BLANKETS INSTALLATION REQUIRED ABILITY INSTALLATION OR SERVICE OF THIS WATER HEATER REQUIRES ABILITY EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF A LICENSED TRADESMAN IN THE FIELD INVOLVED. PLUMBING, AIR SUPPLY, VENTING AND GAS SUPPLY ARE REQUIRED. GENERAL The installation must conform to these instructions and the local code authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of local codes, conform to the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 The code manual can be purchased from the American Gas Association Laboratories, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH 44131. LOCATION OF HEATER This is a direct vent water heater which draws combustion air from outside the structure and exhausts all products of combustion to the outside of the structure. All air for combustion and all products of combustion are routed through the ducting provided, directly from and to the outside of the building. It therefore must be located next to the outside wall within the range of the adjustments illustrated in fig. 15. DO NOT attempt to extend the air supply tube or inner flue vent tube beyond the dimensions specified on page 7 vent connections, steps 6 and 7. The heater is design certified by the American Gas Association for installation on combustible flooring in a closet having minimum clearances from combustible material of: 0" clearance from sides, rear, and top air tube, 4" from the front and 18" from the toji. If clearances stated on the heater differ from standard clearances, install water heater according to clearances stated on heater. A minimum clearance of 4" must be allowed for access to re- placeable parts such as the thermostats, drain valve and relief valve. Adequate clearance for servicing this appliance should be considered before installation, such as changing the anodes, etc. When installing the heater, consideration must be given to proper location. The water heater should be located as close to or centralized to the water piping system as possible. The water heater should be located in an area not subject to freezing temperatures. 9reit ti1.'S icy. oat4 THE HEATER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE LEAKAGE OF THE TANK OR CONNECTIONS WILL NOT RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE AREA ADJACENT TO THE HEATER OR TO LOWER FLOORS OF THE STRUCTURE. When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan should be Installed under the heater. Such pans should have a minimum length and width of at least 2 Inches greater than the diameter of the heater and should be piped to an adequate drain. Drain pans suitable for these heaters are available from your dealer or A. O. Smith Water Products Company, 5621 W. 115th Street, Alsip, IL 60803. Under no circumstances is the manufacturer to be held liable for any water damage in connection with this water heater. A WARNING DO NOT INSTALL THIS WATER HEATER DIRECTLY ON A CARPETED FLOOR. A FIRE HAZARD MAY RESULT. Instead the water heater must be placed on a metal or wood panel extending beyond the full width and depth by at least 3 inches (76.2mm) in any direction. If the heater is installed in a carpeted alcove or closet, the entire floor shall be covered by the panel. 11 DANGER Vapors from flammable liquids may 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. Vapors: t�. Water heater has a main burner and pilot flame. The pilot flame: 1. is on all the time and 2. will ignite flammable vapors. 1. cannot be seen, 2. are heavier than air, 3. goalong way on the floor and 4. can be carried from other rooms to the pilot flame by air currents. Installation: Do not install water heater where flammable products will be stored or used unless the main burner and pilot flames 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. WATER CONNECTIONS Refer to figure 1 for typical installation. A suitable pipe thread sealant must be used to prevent leakage. WATER (POTABLE) HEATING AND SPACE HEATING 1. All piping components connected to this unit for space heating applications shall be suitable for use with potable water. 2. Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment, shall NEVER be introduced into this system. 3. This unit may NEVER be connected to any existing heating system or component(s) previously used with a non - potable water heating appliance. 4. When the system requires water for space heating at temperatures higher than required for domestic water purposes, a tempering valve must be installed. Please refer to Fig. 2 for suggested piping arrangement. CLOSED WATER SYSTEM A closed system will exist if a back -flow preventer (check valve), pressure reducing valve, or other similar device is installed in the cold water line between the water heater and the street main (or well). Excessive pressure may develop due to the thermal expansion of heated water causing premature tank failure or intermittent relief valve operation. This type of failure is not covered by the limited warranty, An expansion tank may be necessary in the cold water supply to alleviate this situation, see fig. 1. Contact the local plumbing authority. SUGGESTED PIPING ARRANGEMENT FOR TOP CONNECTIONS f tlllllrti•, ��J I �� POTABLE WATER SUPPLY TO HEAT EXCHANGER SHUTOFF NON•SCALD VALVE TEMPERING VALVE WATER INLET RETURN FROM HEAT EXCHANGER FIGURE 2 If the temperature and pressure relief valve on the appliance discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water supply system. Contact the water supplier or local • plumbing inspector on how to correct this situation. DO NOT PLUG THE TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. GAS CONNECTIONS The minimum gas supply pressure is 4.5" water column for input adjustment. THE HEATER IS NOT INTENDED FOR OPERATION AT HIGHER THAN 14" WATER COLUMN (3.5 kPa) SUPPLY PRESSURE. EXPOSURE TO HIGHER GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL WHICH COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION. If overpressure has occurred such as through improper testing of gas lines or emergency malfunction of the supply system, the control must be checked for safe operation. Make sure that the outside vents on the supply regulators and the safety vent valves are protected against blockage. These are parts of the gas supply system not the heater. Vent blockage may occur during ice storms. IT IS IMPORTANT TO GUARD AGAINST CONTROL FOULING FROM CONTAMINANTS IN THE GAS WAYS. SUCH FOULING MAY CAUSE IMPROPER OPERATION, FIRE OR EXPLOSION. All piping must comply with local codes and ordinances or with the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1 NFPA -54) whichever applies. REFER TO FIG. 1 FOR CONNECTION DETAILS. BEFORE ATTACHING THE GAS LINE BE SURE THAT ALL GAS PIPE IS CLEAN ON THE INSIDE. TO TRAP ANY DIRT OR FOREIGN MATERIAL IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE, A DIRT LEG (SOMETIMES CALLED DRIP LEG) MUST BE INCORPORATED IN THE PIPING, FIG. 1. The dirt leg must be readily accessible. Install in accordance with recom- mendations of serving gas supplier. Refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. 4 ogik To prevent damage, care must be taken not to apply too much torque when attaching gas supply pipe to thermostat gas Inlet. The thermostat inlet has a pad for use with a backup wrench. Apply Joint compounds (pipe dope) sparingly and only to the male threads of pipe joints. Do not apply compound to the first two threads. Use compounds resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases. Do not use teflon tape on thermostat fittings. DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM DURING ANY SUPPLY PRESSURE TESTING EXCEEDING 1/2 PSI (3.5 kPa). GAS SUPPLY LINE MUST BE CAPPED WHEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE HEATER. FOR TEST PRESSURES AT 1/2 PSI (3.5 kPa) OR LESS, THE APPLIANCE NEED NOT BE DISCONNECTED, BUT MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE SUPPLY PRESSURE TEST BY CLOSING THE MAIN MANUAL GAS VALVE. BEFORE PLACING THE HEATER IN OPERATION, CHECK FOR GAS LEAKAGE. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION OR OTHER MATERIAL ACCEPTABLE FOR THIS PURPOSE. DO NOT USE MATCHES, CANDLES, FLAME OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION TO LOCATE GAS LEAKS. RELIEF VALVE A NEW TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE COMPLYING WITH THE STANDARD FOR RELIEF VALVES AND AUTOMATIC GAS SHUT OFF DEVICES FOR HOT WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS, ANSI Z21.22 (LATEST EDITION) MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE HEATER IN THE MARKED OPENING PROVIDED (SEE FIGURE 1). THE VALVE MUST BE OF A SIZE (INPUT RATING) THAT WILL BE ADEQUATE FOR YOUR SIZE HEATER. Check the metal tag on the relief valve and compare it to the heater's rating plate. The pressure rating of the relief valve must not exceed the working pressure shown on the rating plate of the heater. In addition, the hourly BTU rated temperature steam discharge capacity of the relief valve shall not be less than the input rating of the heater. NO VALVE IS TO BE PLACED BETWEEN THE RELIEF VALVE AND TANK. DO NOT PLUG THE RELIEF VALVE. The drain line connected to this valve must not contain a reducing coupling or other restriction and must terminate near a suitable drain to prevent water damage during valve operation. The discharge line shall be installed in a manner to allow complete drainage of both the valve and line. DO NOT THREAD, PLUG OR CAP THE END OF THE DRAIN LINE. VENTING A WARNING NEVER OPERATE THE HEATER UNLESS IT IS VENTED TO THE OUTDOORS AND HAS ADEQUATE AIR SUPPLY TO AVOID RISKS OF IMPROPER OPERATION, FIRE, EXPLOSION OR ASPHYXIATION. DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATING AIR. ADEQUATE AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION MUST BE PROVIDED FOR SAFE OPERATION. 5 VENT PIPE TERMINATION Before installing water heater determine placement of vent pipe termination. MAKE CERTAIN TO OBSERVE VENT LOCATION LIMITATION, SEE FIG'S 3 & 15. A CAUTION Use only the vent kit assembly supplied with this water heater. Only supplied kit provides required clearances from combustibles: both through the wall and the exterior siding. TERMINATION OF A SIDEWALL VENT SYSTEM WITH A DEVICE OTHER THAN THE SUPPLIED VENT KIT ASSEMBLY IS NOT RECOMMENDED AND COULD AFFECT SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND RESULT IN A SAFETY HAZARD. IMPORTANT The vent system must terminate so that proper clearances are maintained as cited in local codes or the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, 7.3.4e and 7.8c as follows: 1. The vent terminals of a direct vent system shall be not less than 7 feet above grade when located adjacent to public walkways (Fig. 3). 2. A venting system shall terminate at least 9 inches abovel any forced air inlet located within 10 feet (Fig. 3). 3. The venting system shall terminate at least 9 inches below, 9 inches horizontally from or 9 inches above any door, window or gravity air inlet into any building. 4. The manufacturer also recommends the vent terminations not be installed closer than 3 feet from an inside corner of an L shaped structure, and not less than 1 foot above grade. The vent shall terminate a minimum 12" above expected snowfall level to prevent blockage of vent termination. 5. In cold climates, it is recommended that vent termination not be mounted directly above or within 3 feet horizontally from an oil tank vent or gas meter to avoid potential freeze -up from condensation. Plan the vent system layout so that proper clearances are maintained from plumbing and wiring. Required clearances from combustible materials must be provided in accordance with information in this manual under LOCATION OF HEATER and with the National Fuel Gas Code and local codes. Carefully read through these installation instructions before: you start your installation. The figures provided will give the necessary views to complete this installation. Self drilling screws are provided, but it may be necessary to use a 1/8" drill for a starting hole as called for in the instructions. NOTE: IN SOME LOCALITIES, LOCAL CODE REQUIRES AN ADDITIONAL VENT COVER. NOTE: The four fasteners that are required to secure the vent cap to the external wall are not provided. These should be screw type (not nails) chosen for the type of construction and obtained locally. 01 VENT HOOD MUST BE WARNING MOUNTED P MINIMUM VENT HOOD(S) MAY SE EXTREMELY ABOVE DOORS AND WINDOWS HOT DURING OPERATION REGULATOR VENT CAP MIS SEAL WITH SIMONE SEALER VENT H000 — 3' MIN.

REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE BURNER ORIFICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE (ANSI Z 223.1 /NFPA 54). FAILURE TO REPLACE THE ORIFICE COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER AND INEFFICIENT OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE, PRODUCING CARBON MONOXIDE GAS IN EXCESS OF SAFE LIMITS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. CONTACT YOUR GAS SUPPLIER FOR ANY SPECIFIC CHANGES WHICH MAY BE REQUIRED IN YOUR AREA. A. O. Smith builds models specifically for high altitude service. Please check the rating plate before making changes. TEMPERATURE REGULATION A DANGER THIS WATER HEATER IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ADJUSTABLE THERMOSTAT TO CONTROL WATER TEMPERATURE. HOT WATER TEMPERATURES REQUIRED FOR AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER AND LAUNDRY USE CAN CAUSE PAINFUL SCALDING WITH POSSIBLE SERIOUS AND PERMANENT IN- JURY. THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH INJURY OCCURS VARIES WITH THE PERSON'S AGE AND THE TIME OF THE EXPOSURE. THE SLOWER RESPONSE TIME OF CHILDREN, AGED OR DISABLED PERSONS INCREASES THE HAZARDS TO THEM. NEVER ALLOW SMALL CHILDREN TO USE A HOT WATER TAP, OR TO DRAW THEIR OWN BATH WATER. NEVER LEAVE A CHILD OR DISABLED PERSON UNATTENDED IN A BATHTUB OR SHOWER. THE WATER HEATER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE THE GENERAL PUBLIC DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS. IF A SUITABLE AREA IS NOT AVAILABLE, A COVER SHOULD BE INSTALLED OVER THE THERMOSTAT TO PREVENT TAMPERING. Suitable covers are available through A.O. Smith Water Products Company, 5621 W. 115th Street, Alsip, IL 60803. FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING A NARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. BEFORE OPERATING: ENTIRE SYSTEM MUST BE FILLED WITH WATER AND AIR PURGED FROM ALL LINES. A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly. B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS: • Do not try to light any appliance. • Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone In your building. • Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions. FLAMMABLE • If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or tum by hand, don't try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion. D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the system and any gas control which has been under water.

C AUTION: Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Consult the instruction manual before changing temperature. TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE 1. Set the thermostat to lowest setting. 2. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise ' to "OFF ". Do not force. SEE FIGURE 'A'. 9 gooi,o?k LAS .. 5'3 191" C ;rit 'ti ` A "AXI74i It is recommended that lower water temperatures be used to avoid the risk of scalding. It Is further recommended, in all cases, that the water temperature dial, Figure 16, be set for the lowest temperature which satisfies your hot water needs. This will also provide the most energy efficient operation of the water heater. The water temperature adjusting dial was factory set at the lowest temperature; all the way clockwise to the mechanical stop. Turning the dial counterclockwise increases temperature and clockwise reduces temperature. SETTING THE WATER HEATER TEMPERATURE AT 120 °F (AP- PROX. "A" MARK ON FACE OF THERMOSTAT) WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF SCALDS. Some states require settings at specific lower temperatures. Figure 16 below shows the approximate water temperatures produced at various thermostat dial settings. Short repeated heating cycles caused by small hot water uses can cause temperatures at the point of use to exceed the thermostat setting by up to 30 °F. If you experience this type of use you should consider using lower temperature settings to reduce scald hazards. 0 OAS CONTROL KNOB 0 Temperature Setting VERY HOT = approx. 160°F C = approx. 150 °F B = approx. 140°F A = approx.130°F = approx. 120°F LOW = approx. 80 °F FIGURE 16 WATER TEMPERATURE (ADJUSTING DIAL) Time to Produce 2nd & 3rd Degree Bums on Adult Skin About 1/2 second about 1 -1/2 seconds Less than 5 seconds About 30 seconds More than 5 minutes Valves for reducing point -of -use temperature by mixing cold and hot water are available (See Fig. 2). Also available are inexpensive devices that attach to faucets to limit hot water temperatures. Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority. SHOULD OVERHEATING OCCUR OR THE GAS SUPPLY FAIL TO SHUT OFF, TURN OFF THE MAIN MANUAL GAS CONTROL VALVE TO THE APPLIANCE. SEE FIGURE 1. MAINTENANCE FOR YOUR SAFETY AND SATISFACTORY OPERATION, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THIS HEATER BE CHECKED ONCE A YEAR BY A COMPETENT SERVICE PERSON. USERS OF THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE AWARE THAT GAS COMPONENTS WEAR OUT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. THE GAS CARRYING COMPONENTS OF THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE INSPECTED FOR PROPER OPERATION PERIODICALLY BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. 10 PILOT AND MAIN BURNER Check pilot and main burner every six months for proper flame characteristics. This Is done by removing door on heater, fig. 1. The main burner should provide complete combustion of gas; ignite rapidly; give reasonably quiet operation; cause no excessive flame lifting from burner ports. Make sure that the flow of combustion and ventilation air Is not blocked. If proper flame characteristics are not evident, check for accu- mulation of lint or other foreign material that restricts or blocks the air openings in the heater or burner. A WARNING SOOT BUILD -UP INDICATES A PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES CORRECTION BEFORE FURTHER USE. CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. Should the main burner or burner air openings require cleaning, turn the gas control knob to "OFF" position and allow the burner to cool. Remove the burner and clean with a soft brush. Clean main burner orifice with a suitable soft material. HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMIT SWITCH (Single -Use Type Energy Cut Off) The thermostat has a factory- installed nonadjustable limit switch that guards against excessive water temperatures. In the event of high temperature switch operation, the pilot will extinguish and cannot be relit until the entire gas control is replaced. Such controls are labeled as being single -use types. Lower the temperature adjustment dial setting on the new control. It is important that a serviceman be called to determine the reason for the limit operation and thus avoid repeated replacement of the control. TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE At least once a year, the temperature and pressure relief valve, fig. 1. must be checked to ensure that it is in operating condition. Lift the lever at the top of the valve several times until the valve seats properly and operates freely. If water does not flow, remove the valve and inspect for obstructions or corrosion. Have a qualified servicer replace with a new valve of the recommended size as necessary. Do not attempt to repair the valve, as this could result in improper operation and a tank explosion. In areas with poor water conditions, it may be necessary to inspect the T &P valve more frequently. A CAUTION THE WATER PASSING OUT OF THE VALVE DURING THIS CHECKING OPERATION MAY BE EXTREMELY HOT. AVOID CON- TACT AND DISCHARGE SAFELY TO PREVENT WATER DAMAGE. DRAINING If the heater is to be shut off and exposed to freezing temperatures, it must be drained. Water, if left in the tank and allowed to freeze, will damage the heater. • Turn off the gas and cold water inlet valve to the heater, fig. 1. • Open a nearby hot water faucet and the heater drain valve. • BE CAREFUL TO GRASP THE DRAIN VALVE HANDLE SO THAT THE HAND IS NOT EXPOSED TO HOT WATER. IF DESIRED, A HOSE MAY BE CONNECTED TO THE DRAIN VALVE TO CARRY THE WATER AWAY. A DANGER The water CAN BE HOT. • The drain valve must be left open during the shutdown period. • To restart heater, refer to the FILLING instructions under OPERATION. re w 00 CO UJ 1..U.

This will help prevent sediment build -up In the tank. It is normal for lime and scale deposits to form within the tank. Such deposits will not be removed by periodic draining. It is necessary to chemically delime the affected parts in water areas where such deposits are encountered. Contact your dealer or plumber for deliming information. CONDENSATION Combustion products contain water vapor which can condense on the cooler surfaces of the tank forming droplets which drip into the fire or run out on the floor. This is common at the time of startup, after installation, during periods of time when incoming water is very cold, or the heater may be undersized for the requirements. Occasional or steady water leakage from the bottom of the flue may be caused by corrosive combustion products or an improper vent. Check with your dealer for more information. CATHODIC PROTECTION - ANODE The anode rod within the tank, see figure 1, is designed to be slowly consumed cathodically, minimizing corrosion in the glass -lined tank. 1 1 A hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg) odor may result if water contains high sulfate and /or minerals. Chlorinating the water supply should minimize the problem. (See EXTENDED NON -USE PERIODS). NOTE: Anode must remain installed (except for inspection to avoid shortening tank life. See LIMITED WARRANTY. Replace as necessary. An annual removal and inspection of the anode(s) is recommended. If the core wire of the anode is visible, or large gaps are present in the anode material, the anode should be replaced to prevent tank corrosion. Softened water or corrosive water may require more frequent inspection. A CAUTION Before removing the anode: 1) the tank water should be cool, 2) the cold water shut off valve must be closed, and 3) water pressure must be relieved by opening a nearby faucet.
