TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Water temperatures over 125°F can cause severe bums instantly or death from scalds. Children, disabled, and
elderly are at highest risk of being scalded. Feel water before bathing or showering. Temperature limiting valves are
available, and should be installed when lower outlet temperatures are required.
HI-TEMPERATURE LIMIT
The thermostat on this water heater is equipped with a high temperature limit switch (ECO). The ECO will shut off the gas supply to the burner
and pilot in the event the water temperature exceeds 190 degrees F.
WATER TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The temperature of the water in the heater can be regulated by the setting of the temperature dial on the thermostat. To adjust the temperature
setting, remove cover and rotate dial to desired temperature setting (Fig. 15)
1.Set the thermostat to lowest setting.
2.Turn the gas valve knob clockwise to “OFF” position.

DANGER
GAS PRESSURE
With the water heater in operation (main burner on), the maximum supply pressure must not exceed the specified value below, and the
minimum supply and normal manifold gas pressures are as follows:
Refer to pressure noted on the label affixed to the front of the water heater. Consult your local gas company of gas supplier if correction is
necessary.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
Should the water heater be subjected to flood, fire, or other unusual condition, turn off gas at manual shut-off valve and water inlet valve to
heater. Refer to figure 5. Do not place water heater in operation again until it has been thoroughly checked by qualified personnel.
TAMPERING
Tampering with the thermostat, gas valve, igniter control, or temperature and pressure relief valve is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties.
Only qualified personnel should service these components
MAINTENANCE
BURN AND PILOT MAINTENANCE
At least every 3months, visually check main burner and pilot flames. Observation of the gas flame should show the burner flame to be a soft blue
with the suggestion of slight yellow tips. It is to be noted that the flame of a light color may not be a carbonizing flame.
Carbonizing flames are to be avoided and can be determined by wiping the tip of the combustion chamber when the flames is extinguished and
the combustion chamber has cooled to determine if any carbon or soot has been deposited. If the burners are dirty or clogged with lint or shoot,
the burners can be cleaned with soap and water. If sooting re-occurs, refer to common issues, page 25 and 26.
At least every 3 months a visual inspection should be made of the venting system. You should look for:
. obstructions which could cause improper venting.
. damage or deterioration which could cause improper venting or leakage of combustion products.
WARNING
Should overheating occur or the gas fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to appliance and call a qualified
service person to check for the cause
