Physical Damage
: If the water heater has been subjected
to fire, flood, or physical damage, turn off the manual gas
shutoff valve and do not operate the water heater again
until it has been checked by qualified personnel.
Temperature Setting
:
Hotter water increases the risk of
scalding injury.
Venting System Inspection
: A visual inspection should
be made on the venting system at least once a year.
-. Be sure the venting is properly connected to prevent
escape of dangerous flue gases which could cause
deadly asphyxiation.
-. Obstructions could cause improper venting. The
combustion and ventilation air flow must not be ob-
structed.
-. Damage or deterioration which could cause improper
venting or leakage of combustion byproducts.
Clean Up
: The flue outlet and the air intake holes on the
bottom sides of the water heater should be checked
frequently. Clean as needed to prevent the entry of water,
insects, rodents or other foreign materials such as fallen
leaves and dust that could cause blockages. Do not ob-
struct the flow of combustion air and exhaust air flow.
Water Strainer
: The water strainer should be checked
at least once a year. It protects valve from dirt, and
pipe scale. Self-clean by opening valve or plug con-
nected to a blow-off outlet.
Sediment Build-up
:
Unlike a typical storage tank, this
heater has a self cleaning system initiated by the flow
of water. Build up of sediment in faucet aerators,
shower heads and screens could impair water flow
and cause the water heater to deliver less than its full
output, or to shut down completely. Check any of these
screens or shower heads on your faucets periodically
and clean as necessary.
SYSTEMS AND PARTS CHECK
The unit should be checked once a year or as necessary by a
certified and trained technician. If repairs are needed, the
repairs should be done by a certified and trained technician.
The following systems and parts should be checked at least
once a year.
1. Venting system
2. Burner
3. Manual operation of the pressure relief valve to ensure
correct operation.
4. Periodic cleaning of the water filter.
5. Remove the thermistor from heat exchanger and check
for mineral coating. A mineral coating on the thermist
-or requires flushing.
