NOTE:  

Always turn off and disconnect main supply wiring before 

servicing the unit.

4.  Check connecting wire to the flame sensor. Verify that the flame 

sensor has not been damaged in any way.

5.  Verify that the air supply is adequate. The air inlet screen or blower 

wheel may be restricted. Also, check the installation for proper 

ventilation. See AIR REQUIREMENTS.

6.  Check  the  venting  system  for  the  correct  sizing,  excess  or 

insufficient. See VENTING.

7.  Check  for  a  maximum  inlet  pressure  of  11"  Natural  Gas 

 

(2.74 kPa) W.C. and the manifold pressure as listed in Table 4: 

that is, for Natural Gas, 4.0" (0.996 kPa) W.C. Please note that 

the manifold pressure listed is the maximum value for the manifold 

pressure. Do not set the manifold pressure higher than the value 

shown for your heater in Table 4. Overfiring the heater will result 

in rough ignition and/or noisy operation.

8.  Confirm that the air inlet screen (see Figures 7 & 8) is free of 

obstructions.

  

CAUTION

Do not reach into the burner housing or combustion chamber if the 

heater is still hot. Allow the heater to cool and always use gloves as 

the combustion chamber and the burner sleeve and housing can 

become very hot after operation. Overfiring is a dangerous condition 

that must be corrected immediately.

NOISY BURNER OPERATION

The exhaust of this unit produces some noise during ignition period. 

When combustion is too lean or too rich, start up noise will get worse. 

Check for flue gas CO

 reading, adjust gas valve manifold pressure 

if required to bring the flue gas CO

 

to 9–9.5% level for natural gas, 

10.75–11.25% for LP. This noise may be objectionable if the exhaust 

terminal is located too close to the opening of an occupied space. 

The noise may also be objectionable if the exhaust is located in the 

confined space between two buildings such as an alley or walkway. 

Since everyone's perception and tolerance for background noise 

varies,  there  is  no  standard  recommendation.  The  best  option 

when the noise is a concern is to fine-tune the air/gas ratio of the 

combustion  system  or  locate  the  exhaust  as  far  away  from  any 

occupied spaces as practical.

GAS FAILS TO SHUT OFF

Check  for  defective  gas  valve  or  thermostat.  If  operation  is 

incorrect, replace.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

Replacement parts may be ordered through A.O. Smith dealers, 

authorized servicers or distributors. Refer to the Yellow Pages for 

where to call or contact the A.O. Smith Water Products Company, 

125  Southeast  Parkway,  Franklin,  TN  37068,  1-800-433-2545. 

When ordering parts be sure to state the quantity, part number 

and  description  of  the  items  including  the  complete  model  and 

serial number as it appears on the product. Refer to the parts list 

for more information.
