The installer may be able to observe and correct certain problems 

which may arise when the unit is put into operation. HOWeVer, 

it  is  recommended  that  only  a  qualified  service  agency,  using 

appropriate test equipment, be allowed to service the heater.
As  preliminary  step,  check  wiring  against  diagram,  check  for 

grounded, broken or loose wires.  Check all wire ends to be sure 

that they are making good contact.

ignition Control system

before  calling  your  qualified  service  agency,  the  following 

checklist  should  be  examined  to  eliminate  obvious  problems 

from those requiring replacement or servicing.
•  Check that “main gas shutoff valve” is fully open and that gas 

service has not been interrupted.

•  Check  electrical  supply  to  the  appliance  for  possible  blown 

(or tripped) fusing or power interruption. Also check the 3 amp 

fuse on the front of the digital thermostat (Fig. 2).

•  Is  the  water  temperature  in  tank  below  the  thermostat  dial 

setting on the appliance thermostat (calling for heat)?

•  It is possible that the high limit (e.C.O.) has functioned to shut 

off  the  appliance.  See  page  7  -  High  limit  Switch  for  reset 

procedure.  Contact  your  service  agent  if  limit  continues  to 

function to shut off appliance. 

and pour the uN•lIMe into the heater.

7.  lower container, you may have to place the container on 

its empty carton to prevent the uN•lIMe from flowing back 

into the container.

8.  let uN•lIMe remain in the heater for 5 minutes and then 

lower the container to the “Drain” Position, see Figure 27.

9.  Deliming activity is indicated by foaming on the surface of the 

uN•lIMe. If there is deliming activity, repeat steps 6 thru 8.

Normally, lime removal will be completed within one hour.  Severe 

build-up of lime may take longer than an hour to complete descaling.

note:

 To check uN•lIMe for continued use, place some scale 

or white chalk in a glass with a small amount of uN•lIMe.  If 

the material is vigorously dissolved by the uN•lIMe, it can be 

reused; if not, the uN•lIMe should be replaced.

figure 27.

9.  Install  the  long  plastic  male  adapter  insert  fitting  into  the 

drain valve opening of heater after applying Teflon tape or 

paste to threads. Tighten firmly by hand and use wrench or 

adjustable pliers to check for secure connection. Do not over 

tighten to avoid damage to threads and fittings.

Prepare the up-N-Down Transfer Kit
The next step is the preparation on the up-N-Down Transfer Kit, 

if you have not already done so:
1.  With  the  5  gallon  up-N-Down  container  in  the  vertical 

position,  unscrew  the  plastic  vent  cap  in  the  handle  and 

pierce the plastic membrane over the vent boss under the 

cap to allow the container to vent.

note:

  If  your  container  does  not  have  the  vent  cap  and 

vent boss, drill a 3/16” hole in the handle.  When you have 

finished deliming you will be able to plug this drilled vent with 

the stainless steel screw that is supplied with the kit.

2.  remove the container’s cap and cut the plastic membrane 

located in the 3/4” IPT opening in the cap.  Take care to not 

damage the threads.

3.  Find the 3/4” male adapter, apply teflon tape to the threaded 

end and screw it into the 3/4” IPT opening in the cap.

4.  Put cap with male adapter back on the container and slide 

 

3/4” hose over end of male adapter and fasten in place using 

hose clamp provided.

Delime using Flo-Jug Method
5.  Slide the hose clamp over end of hose and slide hose over 

the  male  adapter  in  the  water  heater  drain  opening  and 

secure in place using hose clamp.

6.  lift container to the “Pour” Position, see Figure 27, being 

careful to keep the vent in the handle above the liquid level 

serViCe

your  water  heater  is  equipped  with  an  ignition  control  that 

incorporates  a  diagnostic  system  to  assist  in  troubleshooting 

the  appliance. The  indicator  codes  on  the  ignition  module  are 

as follows:
