Refer to this manual for assistance or consult the local gas utility for further information. A WARNING Flammable vapors may be drawn by air cur- rents from other areas of the structure to this appliance. A WARNING READ THE GENERAL SAFETY SECTION BEGINNING ON INSIDE COVER AND THEN THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS WATER HEATER. General Safety A WARNING Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or mainte- nance can cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR PROP- ERTY DAMAGE. Refer to this manual for assistance or consult the local gas utility and /or plumbing contractor. A WARNING For protection against excessive pressures and temperatures in this water heater, install temperature- pressure protective equipment required by local codes, but not less than a combi- nation temperature-pressure relief valve certified by nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspec- tion of production of listed equipment or materials, as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems the current edition ANSI Z21.22. This valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed the marked hydrostatic working pres- sure of the water heater (150 lbs./sq. in.). The relief valve must be marked with a discharge capacity not less than the water heater Btu input rate as shown on the model rating plate. Install the temperature- pressure relief valve directly into the fitting of the water heater. Position the valve downward and provide tubing so that any discharge will exit only within 6 inches above, or at any distance below the structural floor. Be certain that no contact is made with any live electrical part. The discharge opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances. Excessive length, over 30 feet, or use of more than four elbows can cause restriction and reduce the discharge capacity of the valve. No valve or other obstruction is to be placed between the relief valve and the tank. Do not connect tubing directly to dis- charge drain unless a 6" air gap is provided. To prevent bodily injury hazard to life, or damage property, the relief valve must be allowed to discharge water in quantities should circum- stances demand. If the discharge pipe is not connected to a drain or other suitable means, the water flow may cause prop- erty damage. The Discharge Pipe: -Must not be smaller in size than the outlet pipe size of the valve, or have any reducing couplings or other restriction. -Must not be plugged or blocked. -Must be of material listed for hot water distribution. -Must be installed so as to allow complete drainage of both the temperature - pressure relief valve, and the discharge pipe. -Must terminate at an adequate drain. -Must not have any valve between the relief valve and tank. A WARNING A fire can start if combustible materials such as clothing, clean- ing materials, or flammable liquids are placed against or next to the water heater. A WARNING WATER HEATERS EQUIPPED FOR ONE TYPE GAS ONLY: This water heater is ggeaaquipped for one type gas only. Ch the rating . DO USE THIS the control HEATER WITH ANY GAS OTHER THAN THE ONE SHOWN ON THE MODEL RATING PLATE. Failure to use the correct can cause problems which can result in DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. If you have any questions or doubts consult your gas supplier or local utility. 2 A WARNING INSTALLATION IN AREAS WHERE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS (VAPORS) ARE LIKELY TO BE PRESENT OR STORED (GARAGES, STORAGE, AND UTILITY AREAS, ETC): Flammable liquids (such as gasoline, solvents, propane (LP) or butane, etc.), all of which emit flammable vapors, may be improperly stored or used in such areas. The gas water heater pilot light or main burner can ignite such vapors. The resulting flashback and fire can cause death or serious burns to anyone in the area, as well as property damage. If installation in such areas is your only option, then the instal- lation must be accomplished in a way that the pilot flame and main burner flame are elevated from the floor at least 18 inch- es. While this may reduce the chances of flammable vapors from a floor spill being knited, gasoline and other flammable substances should never be stored or used in the same room or area containing a gas water heater or other open flame or spark producing appliance. NOTE: Flamm vapors may be drawn by air currents from other areas of the structure to the appliance. A WARNING HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These Include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically /mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve, should be used at the hot water taps used by J these people or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available at plumbing sup- ply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturers instructions for installation of the valves. Before changing the factor% setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation section in this manual. A WARNING BEFORE LIGHTING [PROPANE (L.P.) GAS WATER HEATERS]: Propane (L.P.) gas is heavier than air. Should there be a leak in the system, the gas will settle near the ground. Basements, crawl spaces, skirted areas under manufactured (mobile) homes (even when ventilated), closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for the accumulation of this gas. Before attempting to light or relight the water heater's pilot or turning on a nearby a ec rical Ikht switch, be absolutely sure there is no accumulated gas in the area. Search for odor of gas by sniffing at ground level in the vicinity of the appliance. If odor is dected, follow steps indicated at "For Your Safety" on the cover page of this manual then leave the premises. A WARNING This water heater must not be installed directly on carpeting. Carpeting must be protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance extending beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least 3 inches (76.2mm) in any direction, or if the appliance is installed in an alcove or closet, the entire floor must be covered by the panel. Failure to heed this warning may result in a fire hazard. General Safety (cont'd) A WARNING A gas water heater cannot operate roper) without the correct amount of combustion air and ventilation air. Refer to "Locating The New Water Heater" and "Combustion Air and Ventilation" sections. Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. If you have any doubts or questions at all, call your gas company. Failure to provide the proper amount of combustion air can result in a fire or explosion and can cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. A WARNING If this water heater will be used in beauty shops, barber shops, cleaning establishments, or self- service laundries with dry cleaning equipment, it is imperative that the water heater or water heaters be installed so that combustion and ventilation air be taken from outside these areas. Refer to the "Locating The New Water Heater" section of this manual and also the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, also referred to as NFPA 54 for specifics provided concerning air required. A WARNING No vent damper installation is compatible with this direct vent water heater design. No vent damper, whether it is operated thermally or otherwise is to be installed on this direct vent water heater. Alteration of any part of the factory- furnished vent assembly could result in improper operation due to restriction of flue gases, spillage of flue gases and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. A WARNING 1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be dis- connected from the gas supply piping system during any pres- sure testing of the gas system at test pressures in excess of h pound per square inch (3.5kPa). 2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply, piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pres- sures equal or less than 'h pound per square inch (3.5kPa). A WARNING Soot build -up indicates a problem that requires correction before further use. Turn "OFF" gas to water heater and leave "OFF" until repairs are made because failure to correct the cause of the sooting can result in a fire or explosion causing DEATH SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. A WARNING The water heater must be properly vented to the outdoors. Never operate the water heater unless it is vented to the out- doors and has adequate air supply to avoid risks of improper operation, explosion or asphyxiation. A WARNING Vent termination must not be within 4 feet of any items such as gas meters, gas valves or other gas regulating equipment. A WARNING Obstructed or deteriorated vent systems may present a serious health risk or asphyxiation. 3 A WARNING Chemical vapor corrosion of the flue and vent system may occur U air for combustion contains certain chemical vapors. Spray can propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioner refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes, bleach, and process chemicals are typical compounds which are potentially corrosive. A WARNING Minimum clearances between the water heater and combustible and noncombustible construction are: 0 inches from sides, 0 inches from bads, 4 inches from front of jacket to doset door and 3 inches from top of jacket to combustible and noncombustible ceiling. Minimum vent clearance: 0 inches. Note: provide 24 inches front clearance for servicing. (See Figure 1) Page 7. A WARNING HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable and explosive. To prevent the possibility of injury under these condi- tions, we recommend the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before any electrical appliances which are connected to the hot water system are used (such as a dish- washer or washing machine). If hydrogen gas is present, there will probably be an unusual sound similar to air escaping through the pipe as the hot water faucet is opened. There must be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open. A WARN ING INSULATING JACKETS: When installing an external water heater insulation jacket on a gas water heater. a. DO NOT cover the temperature - pressure relief valve. b. DO NOT put insulation over any part of the top of the gas water heater. c. DO NOT put insulation over the gas control valve or gas con- trol valve cover, or any access areas to the burner. d. DO NOT let insulation around the gas water heater to get within 8 inches of the floor (air must get to the burner). e. DO NOT cover or remove operati5 instructions, and safety related warning labels and materials affixed to the water heater. Failure to heed this will result in the possibility of a fire or explosion. A WARNING Flood damage to a water heater may not be readily visible or immediately detectible. However, over a paiod of time a flooded water heater will create dangerous corWitions which can cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. Call a qualified service technician or contractor to replace a flooded water heater. Do not attempt to repair the unit! It must be replaced! ACAUTION WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK: Installation of the water heater must be accomplished in such a manner that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow of water will not cause damage to the structure. For this reason, it is not advisable to install water heater in an attic or upper floor. When such loca- tions cannot be avoided, a suitable dram pan should be installed under the water heater. Drain pans are available at your local hardware store. Such a drain pan must be not greater than 1'h inches deep, have a minimum length and width ofat least 2 inches greater than the water heater dimensions and must be piped to an adequate drain. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow. i Under no circumstances is the manufacturer to be held liable for any water damage in connection with this water heater.

Water (Potable) Heating and Space Heating: Certain models are "considered suitable for water (potable) heating and space heating." Refer to the model and rating plate of the water heater. A WARNING This water heater shall not be connected to any heating systems or component(s) previously used with a non - potable water heating appliance. If this water heater is also used for space heating applica- tions, all piping and components connected to the water heater shall be suitable for use with potable water. A WARNING Toxic chemicals such as used for treatment of boilers or non - potable water heating appliances shall never be introduced into a potable water space heating system. NOTE: To protect against untimely corrosion of hot and cold water fittings, it is strongly recommended that di-elec- tric unions or couplings be installed on this water heater when connected to copper pipe. Locating the New Water Heater Facts to Consider About the Location You should carefully choose an indoor location for the new water heater, because the placement is a very impor- tant consideration for the safety of the occupants in the building and for the most economical use of the appli- ance. This water heater is not for use in manufactured (mobile) homes or outdoor installation. Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water heater in a new location, the following critical points must be observed. 1. The location selected should be indoors as close as practical to the outside wall to which the water heater vent is going to be installed through, and as central- ized with the water piping system as possible. The water heater, as all water heaters, will eventually leak. Do not install without adequate drainage provisions where water flow will cause damage. A CAUTION WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK: Installation of the water heater must be accomplished in such a manner that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow of wa- ter will not cause damage to the structure. For this reason, it is not advisable to install the water heater in an attic or upper floor. When such locations cannot be avoided, a suit- able drain pan should be installed under the water heater. Drain pans are available at your local hardware store. Such a drain pan must have a minimum length and width of at least 2 inches peeater than the water heater dimensions and must be pipedto an adequate drain. Drain pan depth must allow for access to the outer doors for lighting the pilot and servicing the burner. Under no circumstances is the man- ufacturer to be held liable for any water damage in con- nection with this water heater. A WARNING INSTALLATION IN AREAS WHERE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS (VAPORS) ARE LIKELY TO BE PRESENT OR STORED (GARAGES, STORAGE AND UTILITY AREAS, ETC): Flammable liquids (such as gasoline, solvents, propane (LP) or butane, etc.) or other substances (such as adhesives, etc.), all of which emit flammable vapors, may be improperly stored or used in such areas. The gas water heater pilot light or main burner can ignite such vapors. The resulting flash- back and fire can cause death or serious burns to anyone in the area, as well as property damage. If installation in such areas is your only option, then the installation must be accomplished in a way that the pilot flame and main burner flame are elevated from the floor at least 18 inches. While this may reduce the chances of flammable vapors from a floor spill being ignited, gasoline and other flammable substances should never be sfored or used in the same room or area containing a gas water heater or other open flame or spark producing appliance. Also, the water heater must be located and /or protected so it is not subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle. NOTE Flammable vapors maybe drawn by air currents from other areas of the structure to the appliance. 7 2. The location selection must provide adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation of the water heater. A WARNING Propellants of aerosol sprays and volatile compounds, (deaners, chlorine based chemicals, refrigerants, etc.) in addition to being highly flammable in many cases, will also change to corrosive hydrochloric add when esosed to the combustion roducts of the water heater. The results can be hazardous, and also cause product failure. A WARNING This water heater must not be installed directly on carpeting. Carpeting must be protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance extending beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least 3 inches (76.2mm) in any direction, or if the appliance is installed in an alcove or closet, the entire floor must be covered by the panel. Failure to heed this warning may result in a fire hazard. A WARNING Minimum clearances between the water heater and combustible and noncombustible construction are: 0 inches from sides, 0 inches from back, 4 inches from front of jacket to closet door and 3 inches from top of jacket to combustible and noncombustible material. Minimum vent clearance 0 inches. Provide 24 inches front clearance for servicing and adequate clearance between the jacket top & ceiling for servicing the flue area. (See Figure 1). Combustion Air and Ventilation When determining the installation location for a direct vent water heater, snow accumulation and drifting should be considered in areas where applicable. VENTING CLEARANCES • 18" minimum in all directions from any obstruction that may interfere. • 18" minimum from the ground and 12" from ceiling over- hangs.

OPTIONAL WIRE GRILL When the water heater vent cap is low enough to be touched accidentally, or is accessible to small children, installation of a protective vent cover is recommended. Some local codes may require a vent cap cover. Figure 7 shows the optional wire vent cap protector available from the water heater manufacturer. A wire mesh chain link fence (as shown in Figure 7) may be used instead of the factory cover. Care should be taken to maintain adequate ventilation around the vent cap. If a chain link fence is installed, it must not be used as a stor- age area for items that may block proper ventilation. *GAL. CAP.

Cut a 6'/." diameter hole completely through the outside wall. 10 CHART 12 'See models and rating plate attached to the water heater for specific model number and other detailed information A WARNING Be sure vent pipe is properly connected to prevent escape of dangerous flue gases which could cause deadly asphyxiation. A WARNING Obstructions and deteriorated vent systems may pre- sent serious health risk or asphyxiation. WATER HEATER ATTITUDE There is a certain amount of variance with regard to the direction the water heater faces. Standing in front of the water heater (as control facing you), set the 3" diameter elbow (slotted end) on the flue. This will give you a better understanding of the relation of the vent assembly to the opening in the wall and more importantly any possibly of interference of venting and water piping. The direction of the water heater can now be made. Also consider the gas control valve to insure installation, light- ing, and maintenance accessibility are retained.

NOTE: Again screws are supplied; however, substitu- tion may be necessary, depending on the exterior wall material. Installing the New Water Heater ('cont'd,) Water Piping A WARNING HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a tem- perature which will satisfy space heating, clothes wash - ing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically /mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve, shall be used at the hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available at plumb- ing supply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturers instructions for installation of the valves. Before chang- ing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation" section in this manual. This water heater shall not be connected to any heating systems or component(s) used with a non - potable water heating appliance. NOTE: To protect against untimely corrosion of hot and cold water fittings, it is strongly recommended that dielectric unions or couplings be installed on this water heater when connected to copper pipe. The illustration shows the attachment of the water piping to the water heater. The water heater is equipped with '/ inch water connections. NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter before attaching the adapter to the cold water inlet connection. Do not solder the cold water supply line directly to the cold water inlet or it will harm the dip tube. 26 HOT OUTLET TO HOUSE SHUTOFF VALVE COLD INLET WATER LINE 314" THREADED COUPLINGS TEMPERATURE - PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE E--- DISCHARGE PIPE (Do not cap or Pk%) 6" AIR GAP Installing the New Water Heater (con t'd) Temperature- Pressure Relief Valve A WARNING For protection against excessive pressures and temper- atures in this water heater, install temperature -pres- sure rotective equipment required by local codes, but not less than a combination temperature - pressure relief valve certified by nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of pro- duction of listed equipment or materials, as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, the current edition ANSI Z21.22. This valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed the marked hydrostatic working pressure of the water heater (150 lbs. /sq. in.). The relief valve must be marked with a discharge capacity not less than the water heater Btu input rate as shown on the model rat- ing plate. Install the temperature- pressure relief valve directly into the fitting of the water heater. Position the valve downward and provide tubing so that any discharge will exit only within 6 inches above, or at any distance below the structural floor. Be certain that no contact is made with any live electrical part. The discharge open- ing must not be blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances. Excessive length, over 30 feet, or use of more than four elbows can cause restriction and reduce the discharge capacity of the valve. No valve or other obstruction is to be placed between the relief valve and the tank. Do not connect tubing directly to discharge drain unless a 6" air gap is provid= ed. To prevent bodily injury, hazard to life, or damage property, the relief valve must be allowed to discharge water in quantities should circumstances demand. If the discharge pipe is not connected to a drain or other suitable means, the water flow may cause property damage. The Discharge Pipe: —Must not be smaller in size than the outlet pipe size of the valve, or have any reducing couplings or other restriction. —Must not be plugged or blocked. —Must be of material listed for hot water distribution. —Must be installed so as to allow complete drainage of both the temperature- pressure relief valve, and the discharge pipe. —Must terminate at an adequate drain. —Must not have any valve between the relief valve and tank. If the water heater is installed using a check valve in the water line or a water meter with a check valve, contact the local water supplier or plumbing contractor on how to control this situation 27 A WARNING The temperature- pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year. Caution should be taken to ensure that (1) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature - pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) the water manually discharged will not cause any bodily injury or property damage because the water may be extremely hot If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and continues to release water, immediately dose the cold water inlet to the water heater, follow the drain instructions, and replace the temperature- pressure relief valve with a new one. Filling the Water Heater TEMPERATURE - PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGE PIPE (Do not cap or plug) A CAUTION Never use this water heater unless it is completely filled with water. To prevent damage to the tank, the tank must be filled with water. Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning "ON" gas to the water heater. To fill the water heater with water: 1. Close the water heater drain valve by turning the han- dle to the right (clockwise). The drain valve is on the lower front of the water heater. 2. Open the cold water supply valve to the water heater. NOTE: The cold water supply valve must be left open when the water heater is in use. 3. To insure complete filling of the tank, allow air to exit by opening the nearest hot water faucet. Allow water to run until a constant flow is obtained. This will let air out of the water heater and the piping. 4. Check all new water piping for leaks. Repair as needed. Installing the New Water Heater (cont'd) Gas Piping AWARNING Make sure the gas supplied is the same type listed on the model rating plate. The inlet gas pressure must not exceed 10.5 in. water column (2.6kPa) for natural gas or 13 in. water column (3.2kPa) for propane (LP.) gas. The mini- mum inlet as pressure listed on the rating plate is for the purpose of input adjustment. A WARNING If the gas control valve is subjected to pressure exceeding' /: pound per square inch (3.5kPa), the damage to the as con- trol valve could result in a fire or explosion from leaking gas. A WARNING If the main gas line shutoff serving all gas appliances is used, also turn "OFF" the gas at each appliance. Leave all gas appliances turned "OFF" until the water heater installation is complete. A gas line of sufficient size must be run to the water heater. Consult the current edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, also referred to as NFPA 54 and the gas company concerning pipe size. There must be: —A readily accessible manual shut off valve in the gas supply line serving the water heater, and —A drip leg (sediment trap) ahead of the gas control valve to help prevent dirt and foreign materials from entering the gas control valve. —A flexible gas connector or a ground joint union between the shutoff valve and control valve to permit servicing of the unit. Be sure to check all the gas piping for leaks before lighting water heater. Use a soapy water solution, not a match or open flame. Rinse off soapy solution and wipe dry. When installed at elevations above 2,000 feet, input ratings should be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1,000 feet above sea level. Installations above 4,000 ft. require replacement of the burner orifice in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54. A WARNING Failure to replace the orifice could result in improper and inefficient operation of the appliance, producing carbon monoxide as in excess of safe limits, which could result in serious Injury or death. Contact your gas supplier for any specific changes which may be required in your area. A WARNING Use pipe joint compound or teflon tape marked as being resistant to the action of petroleum [Propane (LP.)p gases. A WARNING The appliance and its gas connection must be leak test- ed before placing the appliance in operation. 28 A WARNING The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be dis- connected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1 /2 pound per square inch (3.5kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas ly piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than '/2 pound per square inch (3.5kPa). Connecting the gas piping to the gas control valve of the water heater can be accomplished by either of the two methods shown. SEDIMENT TRAP A sediment trap shall be installed as close to the inlet of the water heater as practical at the time or water heater installation. The sediment trap shall be either a tee fitting with a capped nipple in the bottom outlet or other device recognized as an effective sediment trap. If a tee fitting is used, it shall be installed in conformance with one of the methods of installation shown below.

MODEL RATING PLATE 1.1gb ting A WARNING BEFORE LIGHTING [PROPANE (L.P.) GAS WATER HEATERS]: Propane (L.P.) gas is heavier than air. Should there be a leak in the system, the gas will settle near the ground. Basements, crawl spaces, skirted areas under manufactured (mobile) homes (even when ventilated), closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for the accumulation of this gas. Before attempting to light or relight the water heater's pilot or turning a nearby electrical light switch, be absolutely sure there is no accumulated gas in the area. Search for odor of gas by sniffing at ground level in the vicinity of the appliance. If odor is detected, fol- low the steps indicated at "For Your Safety" on the cover page of this manual, then leave the premises. Lighting and operating instructions are located on front of the water heater, above or to one side of the gas control valve. A WARNING AN ODORANT IS ADDED TO THE GAS USED BY THIS WATER HEATER. FOR YOUR SAFETY IF YOU SMELL GAS: 1. Do not try to light any appliance. 2. Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building. 3. Immediately call you gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions. 4. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. A WARNING DO NOT force the gas control knob. Use only your hand to push it down to light the pilot, or to turn it to "ON ", "OFF" or 'PILOT". Never use a tool such as a lever, wrench or pliers. Do not hit or damage the knob. A damaged knob may result in an explosion and serious injury. If you have problem turning the knob, call the gas supplier immediately. CHECK FOR LEAKS Be sure to check all your gas pipes for leaks before light- ing your water heater. Use a soapy water solution, not a match or open flame. Check the factory gas fittings after pilot is lit and gas control knob is still in "PILOT" position. Then, check the fittings when the main burner is turned "ON ". Use a soapy water solution for this, too. 30 Figure 10 I Figure 11 I Figure 12 OBSERVATION PORT I Figure 13 PIEZO IGNITOR Lighting (con t'd) FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING A.

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE 1. Set the thermostat to lowest setting by turning 2. Turn gas control knob clockwise # to ''OFF" the water temperature dial dodcwise ( . to its position. Knob cannot be turned from "PILOT" to lowest temperature setting (with arrow on dial) as OFF" unless knob is depressed slightly. DO NOT shown. DO NOT FORCE. FORCE. (Figure 10) 31 Temperature Regulation Due to the nature of the typical gas water heater, the water temperature in certain situations may vary up to 30 °F higher or lower at the point of use such as, bathtubs, showers, sink, etc. This means that when the temperature adjustment dial is set at the mark approximating 120 °F, the actual water temperature at any hot water tap could be as high as 150°F or as low as 90 °F. Any water heater's intended purpose is to heat water. Hot water is needed for cleansing, cleaning, and sanitizing (bodies, dishes, clothing). Hot water will present a scald hazard. Depending on the time element, and the people involved (normal adults, children, toddlers, elderly, infirm, etc.) scalding may occur at different temperatures. A WARNING HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a tem- perature which will satisfy clothes washing, dish wash- ing, and other sanitizing needs can scald perma- nently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than oth- ers. These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically /mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to using the low- est possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve, should be used at the hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater. A WARNING Never allow small children to use a hot water tap, or to draw their own bath water. Never leave a child or hand- icapped person unattended in a bathtub or shower. The thermostat of this water heater has been factory set at its lowest position, to reduce the risk of scald injury. It is adjustable and must be reset to the desired temperature setting. The mark ( ♦) indicative of approximately 120 °F is preferred starting point. Some states have a requirement for a lower setting. If you need hotter water, follow direc- tions for temperature adjustment, but beware of the warn- ings in this section. 32 Turn the water temperature dial clockwise (t \) to decrease the temperature, or counterclockwise (,"'h) to increase the temperature. PILOT LIGHTING - Set here before attempting to light pilot. Temperature Setting VERY HOT= approx. 160 °F C= approx. 150°F B= approx. 140°F A= approx. 130°F L= approx. 120 °F LOW= approx. 80 °F Time to Produce 2nd & 3rd Degree Burns on Adult Skin About 1/2 second About 1 -1/2 seconds Less than 5 seconds About 30 seconds More than 5 minutes NOTE: Water temperature range of 120° -140 °F (49 °- 60°C) recommended by most dishwasher manufacturers. A WARNING Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn "OFF" the manual gas control valve to the appliance. For Your Information Start Up Conditions CONDENSATION Whenever the water heater is filled with cold water, a cer- tain amount of condensation will form while the burner is on. A water heater may appear to be leaking when in fact the water is condensation. This usually happens when: a. When a new water heater is filled with cold water for the first time. b. When gas burns and water vapor is produced in water heaters, particularly high efficiency models where flue temperatures are lower. c. When you use large amounts of hot water in a short time and the refill water is very cold. Moisture from the products of combustion condense on the cooler tank surfaces and form drops of water which may fall onto the burner or other hot surfaces to produce a "sizzling" or "frying" noise. Excessive condensation can cause pilot outage due to water running down the flue tube onto the main burner and putting out the pilot. Because of the suddenness and amount of water, conden- sation water may be diagnosed as a "tank leak ". After the water in the tank warms up (about 1 -2 hours), the condi- tion should disappear. Do not assume the water heater is leaking until there has been enough time for the water in the tank to warm up. An undersized water heater will cause more condensa- tion. The water heater must be sized properly to meet the family's demands for hot water including dishwashers, washing machines and shower heads. Excessive condensation may be noticed during the winter and early spring months when incoming water tempera- tures are at their lowest. Good venting is essential for a gas fired water heater to operate properly as well as to carry away products of combustion and water vapor. SMOKE/ODOR It is not uncommon to experience a small amount of smoke and odor during the initial start-up. This is due to burning off of oil from metal parts, and will disappear in a short while. THERMAL EXPANSION Water supply systems may, because of such events as high line pressure, frequent cut -offs, the effects of water ham- mer among others, have installed devices such as pressure reducing valves, check valves, back flow preventers, etc...to control these types of problems. When these devices are not equipped with an internal by -pass, and no other measures are to en, the devices cause the water sys- tem to be closed. As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion) and closed systems do not allow for the expansion of heated water. The water within the water heater tank expands as it is 33 heated and increases the pressure of the water system. If the relieving point of the water heater's temperature -pres- sure relief valve is reached, the valve will relieve the excess pressure. The temperature- pressure relief valve is not intended for the constant relief of thermal expansion. This is an unacceptable condition and must be corrected. It is recommended that any devices installed which could create a closed system have a by -pass and/or the system have an expansion tank to relieve the pressure built by thermal expansion in the water system. Expansion tanks are available for ordering through a local plumbing con- tractor. Contact the local water supplier and/or plumbing contractor for assistance in controlling these situations. STRANGE SOUNDS Possible noises due to expansion and contraction of some metal parts during eriods of heat -up and cool -down do not represent harmful or dangerous conditions. Condensation causes sizzling and popping with the burn- er area during heating and cooling periods and should be considered normal. See "Condensation" in this section. Operational Conditions SMELLY WATER In each water heater there is installed at least one anode rod (see parts section) for corrosion protection of the tank. Certain water conditions will cause a reaction between this rod and the water. The most common complaint asso- ciated with the anode rod is one of a "rotten egg smell ". This odor is derived from hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in the water. The smell is the result of four factors which must all be present for the odor to develop: a. a concentration of sulfate in the supply water. b. little or no dissolved oxygen in the water. c. a sulfate reducing bacteria within the water heater. (This harmless bacteria is non -toxic to humans.) d. an excess of active hydrogen in the tank. This is caused by the corrosion protective action of the anode. Smelly water may be eliminated or reduced in some water heater models by replacing the anode(s) with one of less active material, and then chlorinating the water heater tank and all hot water lines. Contact the local water heater supplier for further information concerning an Anode Replacement Kit #9000029 and this Chlorination Treatment. If the smelly water persists after the anode replacement and chlorination treatment, we can only suggest that con- tinuous chlorination and filtering conditioning equipment be considered to eliminate the water problem. Do not remove the anode leaving the tank unprotected. By doing so, all warranty on the water heater tank is voided. For Your Information (cont'd) Operational Conditions "'AIR" IN HOT WATER FAUCETS A WARNING HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for a long peri- od of time (generally two weeks or more). n is extremely flammable and explosive. To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, we recom- mend the hot water faucet be opened for several min- utes at the kitchen sink before any electrical appliances which are connected to the hot water system are used (such as a dishwasher or washing machine). If hydrogen gas is present, there will probably be an unusual sound similar to air escaping through the pipe as the hot water faucet is opened. There must be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open. HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM This water heater is equipped with an automatic gas shut off system. This system works when high water tempera- tures are present. Turn "OFF" the entire gas supply to the water heater. The high temperature shut off is built into the gas control valve. It is non - resettable. If the high tem- perature shut off activates, the gas control valve must be replaced. Contact the local gas utility. A WARNING Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn "OFF" the manual gas control valve to the appliance. NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER 1. Check the manual gas shut off valve to be sure it is open. Periodic Maintenance Venting System Inspection At least once a year a visual inspection should be made of the venting system. You should look for: 1. Obstructions which could cause improper venting. The combustion and ventilation air flow must not be obstructed. 2. Damage or deterioration which could cause improper venting or leakage of combustion products. 3. Rusted flakes around top of water heater. 34 2. Check the pilot flame. It may have gone out. All models have an opening in the outer door for viewing the pilot. 3. If the pilot is not lit, follow the "Lighting" instructions in this manual or located above the as control valve on the water heater to relight the pilot. If the water was extremely hot and is now cold, the high limit safe- ty temperature shut off may have put out the burner and pilot. The gas control valve must be changed. 4. The as control knob must be turned to the "ON" position. 5. The temperature adjustment dial may be set too low. See the "Temperature Regulation" section. 6. The gas company can check the gas input to see if it is correct. An underfired water heater will not heat water as quickly. 7. Look for leaking or open hot water faucets. Make sure all are closed. 8. The cold water inlet temperature may be colder during the winter months. It will take longer to heat the water and seem like less hot water. 9. If you cannot find what is wrong, call the local gas utility and/or plumbing contractor. WATER IS TOO HOT 1. The temperature adjustment dial may be set too high. See the "Temperature Regulation" section. NOTE A period of time is necessary after an adjust- ment has been made for the water temperature to reach the new temperature setting. 2. If lower temperature settings will not lower the water temperature, call the local gas utility. A WARNING Be sure the vent piping is properly connected to prevent escape of dangerous flue gasses which could cause deadly asphyxiation. A WARNING Obstructions and deteriorated vent systems may pre- sent serious health risk or asphyxiation. Periodic Maintenance ('cont'd) A WARNING Chemical vapor corrosion of the flue and vent system may occur if air for combustion contains certain chemical vapors. Spray can propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioner refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride waxes, bleach and process chemicals are typical compoun which are potentially corrosive. A WARNING If after inspection of the vent system you found sooting or deterioration, something is wrong. Call the local gas utility to correct the problem and clean or replace the flue and venting before resuming operation of the water heater. Burner Inspection AWARNING Flood damage to a water heater may not be readily visible or immediafely detectible. However, over a period of time a flooded water heater will create dangerous conditions which can cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. Contact a qualified service techni- cian or contractor to replace a flooded water heater. Do not attempt to repair the unit! It must be replaced! At least once a year a visual inspection should be made of the main burner and pilot burner. The drawing is for your reference. You should check for sooting which is not normal and will impair proper combustion. `r.av :►1i∎1 .�i › A WARNING Soot build -up indicates a problem that requires correction before further use. Turn "OFF" gas to water heater and leave "OFF" until repairs are made, because failure to correct the cause of the sooting can result in a fire causing DEATH, SERI- OUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. Burner Cleaning In the event your burner needs cleaning, use the following instructions: If inspection of the burner shows that cleaning is required, turn the gas control knob clockwise ((\) to the OFF" position, depressing slightly. 35 NOTE: The knob cannot be turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless knob is depressed slightly. DO NOT FORCE. Loose deposits on or around the burner can be removed by carefully using the hose of a vacuum cleaner inserted through the access door of the water heater. If the burner needs to be removed for additional cleaning, call the local gas utility to remove and clean the burner and correct the problem that required the burner to be cleaned. L.P. Gas Control Valve & Burner Assembly Replacement Information A WARNING PROPANE (LP.) GAS CONTROL VALVE AND BURNER ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT INFORMATION. For Propane (LP.) Gas Models Only: Your water heater is equipped with a Propane (L.P.) gas control valve and a main burner assembly with left hand threads for the following fittings and their connections. (1) The connection between the manifold and the gas control valve (A to B) are left hand threads. (2) The connection between the main burner orifice and the manifold (C to D) are left hand threads. For ordering these replacement parts, please refer to the "Repair Parts" section of this manual. Housekeeping Vacuum around base of water heater for dust, dirt, and lint on a regular basis. A WARNING INSTALLED IN SUITABLE AREA: To insure sufficient venti- lation and combustion air supply, pror dearances from the water heater must be maintained. "Locating the New Water Heater" section. Combustible materials such as clothing, cleaning materials, or flammable liquids, etc. must not be placed against or adjacent to the water heater which can cause a fire. Periodic Maintenance ('cont'd, Anode Rod Inspection The rod must be maintained to keep the tank in operating condition. Anode deterioration depends on water conduc- tivity, not necessarily water condition. It may be necessary to have the anode rod inspected a few times during the first year to see what effect the water has had. A corroded or pitted anode rod, in the first year, indicates high water conductivity and should be checked and or replaced more often than an anode rod that appears to be fairly clean. Inspection should be conducted by a qualified technician. Temperature-Pressure Re lief Valve Operation The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year. TEMPERATURE- PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGE PIPE A WARNING When checking the temperature- pressure relief valve operation, make sure that (1) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature - pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) that the water manually dis- charged will not cause any property damage because the water may be extremely hot. If after manually operating the valve, it fails to complete- ly reset and continues to release water, immediately close the cold water inlet to the water heater, follow the draining instructions, and replace the temperature-pres- sure relief valve with a new one. Failure to install and maintain a new properly listed tem- perature- pressure relief valve will release the manufactur- er from any claim which might result from excessive tem- perature or pressure. A WARNING If the temperature - pressure relief valve on the appli- ance weeps or discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion. Your water heater may have a check valve installed in the water line or a water meter with a check valve. Consult the water supplier and/or plumbing contractor for further information. Do not plug the temperature- pressure relief valve. 36 Draining The water heater should be drained if being shut down during freezing temperatures. Also periodic draining and cleaning of sediment from the tank may be necessary. 1. Turn the gas control knob to the "OFF" position. 2. CLOSE the cold water inlet valve to the water heater. 3. OPEN a nearby hot water faucet and leave open to allow for draining. 4. Connect a hose to the drain valve and terminate to an adequate drain. 5. OPEN the water heater drain valve to allow for tank draining._ I the water heater is going to be shut down and drained for an extended period, the drain valve should be left open with hose connected allowing water to terminate to an adequate drain. 6. Close the drain valve. 7. Follow 'Filling The Water Heater" instructions in the "Installing theNew Water Heater" section. 8. Follow the lighting instructions in the "Lighting" sec- tion to restart the water heater. Drain Valve Washer Replacement NOTE: For replacement, use a "h2" x "/u" x %" thick wash- er available at your nearest hardware store. 1. Turn "OFF" gas supply to water heater. 2. Follow "Draining" instructions. 3. Turning counter clockwise, remove the hex cap below the screw handle. 4. Remove the washer and put the new one in place. 5. Screw the handle and cap assembly back into the drain valve and retighten using a wrench. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. 6. Follow "Filling The Water Heater" instructions in the "Installing the New Water Heater" section. 7. Check for leaks. 8. Follow the lighting instructions in the "Lighting" sec- tion to restart the water heater. Service If a condition persists or you are uncertain about the oper- ation of the water heater, let a qualified person check it out. Call the local utility and/or plumbing contractor. Leakage. Checkpoints Use this guide to check a "Leaking" water heater. Many suspected "Leakers" are not leaking tanks. Often the source of the water can be found and corrected. If you are not thoroughly familiar with gas codes your water heater, and safety practices, contact the gas utility to check the water heater. 37 A CAUTION Read this manual first. Then before checking the water heater make sure the gas supply has been turned "OFF ", and never turn the gas ON" before the tank is completely full of water. A CAUTION Never use this water heater unless it is completely filled with water. To pre- vent damage to the tank, the tank must be filled with water. Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning "ON" gas to the water heater. Q Water at the vent pipe is water vapor which has con- densed out of the combustion products. This is caused by a problem in the vent. Contact the gas utility. • *Condensation may be seen on pipes in humid weather or pipe connections may be leaking. • *The primary anode rod fitting may be leaking. 0 Small amounts of water from temperature - pressure relief valve may be due to thermal expansion or high water pressure in your area. © ing at the tank fitting. *The temperature - pressure relief valve may be leak- • Water from a drain valve may be due to the valve opened slightly. e *The drain valve may be leaking at the tank fitting. • Combustion products contain water vapor which can condense on the cooler surfaces of the tank. Droplets form and drip into the fire or run on the floor. This is common at the time of startup after installation and when incoming water is cold. o Water in the water heater bottom or on the floor may be from condensation, loose connections, or the relief valve. DO NOT replace the water heater until a full inspection of all possible water sources is made and necessary corrective steps taken. Leakage from other appliances, water lines, or ground seepage should also be checked. * To check where threaded portion enters tank, insert cotton swab between jacket opening and fitting. If cotton is wet, follow "Draining" instructions in the "Periodic Maintenance" section and then remove fitting. Put pipe dope or teflon tape on the threads and replace. Then follow "Filling the Water Heater" instructions in the installing the New Water Heater Section" section. Repair Parts (cont'd) 6" I.D. VENT PIPE 25 27 35 41 6" O.D.
