To avoid the risk of fire, explosion, or asphyxiation from carbon monoxide, never operate thls 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 initial start-up; and at least annually thereafter. Refer to Maintenance section of thls manual for more Information regarding vont system Inspections, A DANGER 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 name. Water hotter has a main bums( and pilot Rama The pilot name: 1. le on all the time and 2. will Ignite flammable vapors. Vapors; 1, cannot be seen, 2, we heavier than air, 3, go a tong way on the 4, can be carried from other rooms to the pilot Acme by air currents. 2 A DANGEF1 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 attempting 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; • D0 NOT try to light any appliance; • D0 NOT touch any electrical switch; • DO NOT use any phone In your building. • Leave the house Immediately and make surd your family and pots lone also. • Leave tho doors open for ventilation and contact the gas supplier, a qualified service agency or the fire department, • Koop tho area clear until the service call has been made, tho leak is corrected, and a qualified agency has determined the area to be safe. 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 Intensity 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.

COMPONENTS OF YOUR WATER HEATER -- So that you may better understand the operation of your new water heater, the following section illustrates the basic components of a typical water heater. 22 20121 11 10 12 17 18 13 Flg. 1. — Basle Gas Water Heater 14 19 15 18 a WARNING �� Read and Review this entire Manual with special emphasis on the Venting Section (Pages 8.7) and Operation Section (Pages 8 10) prior to eny installation work The location chosen for the water heater must take into consideration the following; LOCAL INSTALLATION REGULATIONS This water heater must be installed in accordance with these instructions, local codes, utility company requirements, and/or in the absence of local codes, the latest edition of the American National Standard 1 National Fuel Gas Code, A copy can be purchased from either American Gas Association, 1515 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA 22209 as booklet Z223,1 or National Are Prevention Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269 as booklet NFPA No,54. LOCATION A, A gas fired 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 these vapors causing an explosion or fire which may result in severe bums 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 desirable. Fig. 2. — Thermostat and Burner Introduction 4 1. Thermostatic Gas Valve 2. Gas Cock Knob 3. Red Button 4.

Water Connections (On Top) 22, Draft Hood WARNING II 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 burner are no less than 18 Inches above the garage floor, unless specifically 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 healer must be located or protected so it is not subject to physical damage, for example, by moving vehicles, area flooding etc. Stand tits 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 tit, Part Number AS29061'. B. The water heater should be installed as dose as practical to the gas vent or chimney, Long hot water lines should be insulated to conserve water and energy, The water heater and water lines should be protected from exposure to freezing temperatures. DO NOT install the water heater in bathrooms, bedrooms, any occupied rooms normally kept closed, or in outdoor unprotected areas. C. Minimum clearance from combustible construction is 1 inch sides and rear, 3 inches from front of control; 12 inches top. If clearances stated on Instruction/Warning label, located on front of heater, differ from the aforementioned clearances, install heater according to the clearances stated on the InstructiorONaming label. The 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. Ii the water heater is installed in an alcove or closet, the entire floor must be covered by the panel. A minimum of 24 inches clearance from the front and top should be available for adequate inspection and servicing. A WARNING "Combustible construction" refers to adjacent walls and ceilings, and should not be confused with combustible or flammable products and materials. Combustible andlor flammable products and materials should never be stored in the vicinity of this or any gas appliance, I A CAUTION L 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 avoided, it is recommended that a suitable catch pan, adequately drained, be Installed under the water heater, The pan MUST NOT restrict combustion air flow to bottom of water heater. n 04 inn Figure 3. — Auxiliary Catch Pan Introduction To coon MK mo 1rou10a silent +• \ .ro p +.y pop* *woo NOTE: Auxiliary catch pan installation MUST conform to local codes, Catch Pan Kits are available In 16', 19', 22', 24', and 264' diameters from the distnbutor or store where the water heater was purchased. E. COMBUSTION & VENTILATION AIR — Proper operation of tho water heater requires air for combustion and ventilation, II the water heater is installed In an unconfined space within a building of conventional frame, masonry or metal construction, Infiltration air is normally adequate for proper combustion and ventilation. However, if the space Is confined, 4MMUIM S Installation 1, INSPECT SHIPMENT— Inspect water heater for possible shipping damage, Check the marling of the rating plate of the water heater to be certain the type of gas being furnished corresponds to that for which the water heater is equipped. 2. WATER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS— Refer to Fig. 4 for suggested typical installation. The installation of unions or flexible copper connectors 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. Determine if there is a check valve in the cold water supply line. It may 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" 5 provisions for this air must be made. A confined space is one having a volume of less than 50 cubic feet per 000 BTUH of the aggregate input of all appliances within that space. The air must be supplied through two permanent openings of equal area, one of which is to be located within 12 inches above the floor and the other is to be located within 12 inches below the ceiling. The minimum net free area of each opening must be not less than one square inch per 1000 BTUH of the total input rating of all the appliances in the enclosure (but not less than 100 square inches), if each opening communicates with other unconfined areas inside the building. Buildings of unusually tight construction shall have the combustion and ventilation air supplied from outdoors or a freely ventilated attic or crawl space. If air is supplied from outdoors, directly or through vertical ducts, there must be two openings located as specified above and each must have a minimum net free area of not less than one square inch per 4000 BTUH of the total input rating of all the appliances in the enclosure. If horizontal ducts are used to communicate with the outdoors, however, each opening must have a minimum net free area of not less than one square inch per 2000 BTUH of the total input rating of all the appliances in the enclosure.

If there is any difficulty in understanding or following the OPERATION or MAINTENANCE instructions, it is recommended that a qualified person or serviceman perform the work. A CAUTION Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this water heater that has not been used for a Tong period of time (generally two weeks or more), HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY 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 H is open. TIME / TEMPERATURE RELATIONSHIPS IN SCALDS Tab aarnosy O S wori Dm MOW * , DANGER There Is a Hot Water SCALD Potential If the thermostat Is sot too high, 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 ell. To find hot water temperature being delivered, tum on a hot water faucet and place a thermometer in the hot water stream and read the thermometer, Mixing valves for reducing point of use water temperature by mixing hot and cold water in branch water lines are available. Contact Llicense4 plumber or the local plumbing authori ty for furthe information 3. ADJUSTMENTS -- There are no user adjustments (other than water temperature selection) required on this water heater. The thermostatic valve is equipped for 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 ele- vations up to 2,000 feet. For installations above 2,000 feet, the input must be reduced per the National Fuel Gas Code for each 1,000 feet above sea level. Contact the local gas supplier for more information. 4, SAFETY CONTROLS— The thermostat is constructed with a built in safety shutoff device designed to shut off the gas supply to the bumer in the event the pilot flame is extinguished for any reason. The thermostat is also equipped with single use gas shut-off device that will shut off the gas supply to the bumer, if the water in the water heater exceeds normal operating temperatures. Refer to the Troubleshooting Section of this manual, or contact your dealer for service. 5. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN— Should overheating occur or the gas supply fall to shut off, tum off the manual gas control valve to the appliance. If water heater has been subjected to fire, flood, or physical damage tum 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, 6, CONDENSATION— Condensation con 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 failing on the bumer can produce a sizzling or pinging sound, and water may also be seen beneath the water heater. This oondition Is not unusual, and will disappear after the water In the water heater becomes heated. II, however, the condition is continuous, examine the piping and fittings for possible leaks. 7. VACATION AND LONG TIME SHUTDOWN— II 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. 1111111111A 411•1•11111111111111• Property 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 ftueway and venting system should be made by service personnel qualified in gas appliance repair. 1. ROUTINE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE A, The water heaters intemal flue must be inspected annually to be certain it is clean by removing the draft hood and flue baffle. (Refer to Fig. 1.) When reinstalling the flue baffle make certain it is hung securely by its hanger at the top of the flue way. Remove any scale that may have fallen on the burner or floor shield. Reinstall the draft hood. Inspect gas venting system to make certain vent connector from draft hood to chimney is properly positioned and securely attached and inspect chimney. Operation NOTE: Refer to Hydrogen Gas Caution, in Safety Precautions Section on page 9, After a very long shut-down period, the water heater's operation and controls should be checked by qualified service personnel. Make certain the water heater is filled before again placing it 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 damage. , 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. Refer to Fig. 4 for location, The anode rod is slowly consumed cathodically. thereby eliminating or minimizing corrosion of the glass lined tank 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 lank, except for inspection end/or replacement, as permanent removal will shorten the Ole of the glass Tined tank and effect the water heater warranty. Maintenance _ - r Replace any corroded through vent connector and remove any obstruction in vent connector or chimney. 8. Visusally inspect the burner annually while firing and pilot burner flame with main burner off. (Refer to Figure 6 for normal flame pattern.) 11 any unusual burner operation is noted, the water heater should be shut off until qualified service assistance can be obtained. For cleaning, remove the burner from the water heater. A vacuum cleaner can be used on the burner and floor shield inside the water heater. The bumer can also be cleaned by scrubbing with mild detergent 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. } r Figure 6. — Main Burner and Pilot Flame Pattern ,� 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. D. For adequate combustion (proper burner operation) and ventilation, make certain the flow of air to the water heater is not obstructed, E, At least once a year, lift and release the lover handle on the temperature 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 directed to an open drain, Before manually operating the relief valve, make certain no ono will be exposed to the danger of coming In contact with the hot water released by this valve. The water may be hot enough to create a SCALD hazard. 1. Should you have any questions about your new water heater, or if it requires adjustment, repair, Or routine maintenance, it is suggested that you first contact your installer, plumbing contractor or previously agreed upon service agency. In the event that the firm has moved, or is unavailable, refer to the telephone directory commercial listings or local utility for qualified service assistance. 2. Should your problem not be solved to your complete satisfaction, you should then contact the Manufacturers National Service Department at the following address: Operation The water released should be directed to a suitable drain to prevent injury or damage. How to Obtain Service Assistance 2690 Gunter Park Drive Montgomery, Alabama 36109.1413 Phone: 1.800.432.8373. 11 NOTE: if the temperature and pressure relief valve on the water heater discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion 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 accumulate, a rumbling or pounding sound can occur. There is no danger involved 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 hammers sound. Water hammer can be described as a banging noise heard In a water pipe fdiowing an abrupt alteration of the flow with resulting pressure surges. Strategically located risers in the water pipe system can be used to minimize t problem, Also water hammer arresting devices are usually 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.
