1.  

STOP! It is imperative that you read all safety 
warnings before lighting the pilot.

2.   Turn the gas control/temperature knob 

counterclockwise     to the "OFF" setting.

3.   Wait ten (10) minutes to clear out any gas. If you then 

smell gas, STOP! 

Follow “ B” in the safety 

information above 

on this label. If you do not 

smell gas, go to the next step.

4.   Turn the gas control/temperature knob clockwise    to 

“ PILOT”. See Figure ‘B’.

5.  Press the gas control/temperature knob all the way 

in and hold it in. The knob should travel in about 
1/4 inch (6.35 mm) if it is set to "PILOT" correctly.  

 

While holding the gas control/temperature knob in, 
click the igniter button continuously (about once a 
second) for up to 90 seconds or until Status Light 
begins to blink.

6.  When the status light starts blinking, release the 

gas control/temperature knob.  Set the gas control/ 

temperature knob to the desired setting. See Figure ‘C’.

 

If the status light does not start blinking within 90 
seconds, repeat steps 2 through 5 up to THREE (3) 
times, waiting 10 minutes between lighting attempts. 

 

The circuitry in this advanced gas valve requires 
that you wait 10 minutes between lighting attempts.

 

If the status light turns solid red, release the gas 
control/temperature knob and repeat steps 2 through 5 
(waiting 10 minutes before attempting to relight the pilot).

 

If the status light does not start blinking after three 
lighting attempts, turn the gas control/temperature knob 
to "OFF" and call a qualified service technician or your 
gas supplier.

 

DANGER: Hotter water increases the risk of scald 
injury. Consult the instruction manual before 
changing temperature.

 

Refer to the Lighting Instructions in the Installation 
Manual for more detailed troubleshooting 
information.

1.  Turn the gas control/temperature knob counterclockwise      to the "OFF" setting. The status light will stop blinking and stay 

 

on for a short time after the water heater is turned off. See Figure ‘A’.

B.BEFORE LIGHTING

smell all around the appliance

area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor

because some gas is heavier than air and will

settle on the floor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any

phone in your building.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's

phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire

department.

Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control

knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or

turn by hand, don't try to repair it, call a qualified

service technician. Force or attempted repair may

result in a fire or explosion.

Do not use this appliance if any part has been under

water. Immediately contact a qualified installer or

service agency to replace a flooded water heater.

Do not attempt to repair the unit!  It must be replaced!

This appliance has a pilot which is lit by a piezo-

electric spark gas ignition system.  Do 

not

 open

the inner door of the appliance and try to light

the pilot by hand.

DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF THERE HAS 

BEEN AN IGNITION OF VAPORS. Immediately 

call a qualified service technician to inspect the 

appliance. Water heaters subjected to a 

flammable vapors ignition will show a 

discoloration on the air intake grid and require 

replacement of the entire water heater.
