and purge the water lines to and
from the water heater by opening
all the hot-water faucets until wa-

Th e water heater holds 6 gallons
of water and uses either the LP gas

Th e water heater is designed for operation either with LP gas or 120-volt AC electricity.

then that means the water heater has not ignited.
