RELIEF

OPENING

DRAFT HOOD 

FIGURE 17.

If the flame flutters or is blown out, combustion products are 

escaping from the relief opening. If this occurs, do not operate 

the water heater until proper adjustments or repairs are made 

to the vent pipe system and/or air supply requirements.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE

A. This appliance has a pilot which is lighted by a 

piezoelectric igniter. When lighting the pilot, follow these

instructions exactly.

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:

v

Do not try to light any appliance.

v

Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any

phone in your building.

v

Immediately call your gas supplier from a 

neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s 

instructions.

v

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire

 department.

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

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

move by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified service

technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire

or explosion.

D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under 

water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to

inspect the appliance. Water heaters subjected to flood

conditions or anytime the gas controls, main burner or

pilot have been submerged in water require replacement

of the entire water heater.

E. 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.

2. Turn the gas control knob clockwise        

 

to the “OFF”

position.

1. Turn the temperature dial counterclockwise        to its

lowest setting.

WARNING:

  If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion

may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

7. Depress the reset button all the way

 

in and IMMEDIATELY depress the

igniter button until you hear a loud

click. Observe the pilot through the

view port. Do not release the reset

button. Repeat immediately if pilot

does not light on the first try. If the

pilot does not light by the fourth

attempt with the igniter, repeat steps

4 - 7. Continue to hold the button for

about (1) minute after the pilot is lit.

Release the reset button and it will pop

back up. Pilot should remain lit. If the

pilot light goes out, repeat steps 3 - 7.

1. STOP! It is imperative that you read all the safety warnings

before lighting the pilot.

2. Remove the outer door.

3. Turn the temperature dial counterclockwise          to its

lowest setting.

4. Depress the dial stop and turn 

gas control knob clockwise
to the “OFF” position.

accumulated wait ten (10) minutes.
If you then smell gas, STOP! Follow “B” in the safety
warning above. If you do not smell gas go to the next

 step.

counterclockwise
to “PILOT”.

IMPORTANT: If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries,
depress the dial stop and turn gas control knob to “OFF”,
then call your service technician or gas supplier.

IMPORTANT: If the reset button (see graphic at step 3) does 
not pop up when released, stop and immediately shut off 
the gas at the line valve or tank. Call your service technician 
or gas supplier.

WARNING

Burn Hazard

Do not touch vent.

Doing so can result in burns.

 

After successfully lighting the water heater, allow the unit to 

operate for 15 minutes and check the draft hood relief 

opening for proper draft (Figure 17). Make sure all other 

appliances in the area are operating and all doors are closed 

when performing the draft test. Pass a match flame around 

the relief opening of the draft hood.  A steady flame drawn 

into the opening indicates proper draft.
