1.
STARTING UP
Once the unit has been properly installed, check the gas
and water connections for leaks.
Close the manual gas shut-off valve located on the
gas line.
Fully open the manual water shut-off valve on the wa-
ter supply line.
To ensure complete filling of the heat exchanger 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
piping.
Open a hot water tap to check that water will flow to
that tap. Then close the hot water tap.
Fully open the manual shut-off gas valve.
Plug in the 120 VAC/60Hz power supply to the water
heater and turn on the unit.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the
fire department.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions.

Before operating, make sure that a gas leak is not
evident by smelling the area around the unit. Be
sure to smell next to the floor because gas is heavier
than air and will settle on the floor.
Use only hand to turn the gas valve knob. Never use
tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to
repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair could result in a fire or explosion
due to the gas leakage.
Do not use this water heater if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified service tech-
nician to inspect the water heater and to replace any
parts that have been under water.
Do not install the unit standing directly on
combustible surface.
This water heater does not have a pilot. It is equipped
with an ignition device which automatically lights the
burner. Do not try to light the burner manually.
Check for proper ventilation and combustible air supply
to the water heater. Purge the gas and water lines to
remove debris; then follow these steps to turn on your
unit.
