AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
If the installation is at a high elevation and the burner
flame exhibits flame lifting and/or noise, do the following:
1. Use a screw driver to loosen the air shutter screw.
2. Adjust the air shutter by rotating the shutter. Counter
clockwise to close and Clockwise to open.
a. Close air shutter - to prevent noisy flames that are
lifting from the burner ports.
b. Open air shutter – to reduce yellow tipping of the
flame. (A small number of yellow tips can be normal
to LP gases.)
3. Tighten the air shutter screw to secure the air shutter.

Adjusting Air Shutter for Higher Altitudes

HOUSEKEEPING
Peligro de incendio y explosión
No obstruya las aberturas para el
aire de combustión en la parte
inferior del calentador de agua.
No use ni almacene vapores
inflamables, como gasolina, solventes
o adhesivos en la misma habitación o
área cerca del calentador de agua
u otro artefacto.
Puede producir lesiones graves o
la muerte.
ADVERTENCIA
Vacuum around base of water heater for dust, dirt, and
lint on a regular basis.
INSTALLED IN SUITABLE AREA: To insure sufficient
ventilation and combustion air supply, proper clearances
from the water heater must be maintained. See
Facts to
Consider About the Location
(page 8). 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.
ANODE ROD INSPECTION
Remove and inspect the anode rod. See
Figure 1
(page
6) for location of the anode rod. Replace the anode
rod if it is depleted.
Anode rods from new (top) to partially depleted (middle)
to fully depleted stage (bottom).
FIGURE 18. Anode Depletion
The anode rod is a sacrificial metal rod that helps reduce
corrosion and premature failure (leaks) in the tank. The
anode rod is a consumable item. Inspect the anode
rod after the first six months of operation or when you
drain and flush the tank. Replace the anode rod if it is
substantially worn out or depleted. Thereafter, inspect the
anode rod annually or more frequently if needed. If you
use a water softener, your anode rod will deplete faster
than normal. Inspect the anode rod more frequently,
replacing the anode rod as needed. Obtain new anode
rods from your local plumbing supplier or have a qualified
person replace it. (Anode rods are a consumable item
and are not covered under warranty).
TEMPERATURE-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE TEST
Burn hazard.
Hot water discharge.
Keep clear of Temperature-
Pressure Relief Valve
discharge outlet.
It is recommended that the temperature-pressure relief
valve should be checked to ensure that it is in operating
condition every 6 months.
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 discharge
will not cause any property damage, as the water may
