The water heater should be drained if being shut down during freezing temperatures. Also periodic draining and cleaning of 

sediment from the tank may be necessary. 

1. “TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE” 

(Figure 4).

2. Close the cold water inlet valve to the heater

 (Figure 4).

3. Open a nearby  hot water faucet. 

4. Open the heater drain valve.

 (Figure 4).

5. If the heater is going to be shut down and drained 

to an extended period, the drain valve should be left 

open. Refer to “Hydrogen Gas” warning. 

(Page 17).

6. To start heater again, read paragraph “Operation” and 

“LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” 

(Page 10).

TAMPERING

Tampering with the electronic valve, hot surface, burner or 

temperature and pressure relief valve is DANGEROUS and 

voids all warranties. Only qualified personnel should service 

these components. 

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT 

The temerature sector dial has been adjusted to its lowest 

setting when shipped from the factory. 

For energy-efficient operation of your water heater, the 

recommended temperature setting is approximately 125ºF. 

Households with small children or invalids may require 

a 120ºF or lower temperature setting to reduce the risk 

of scald injury. Some states require a lower temperature 

setting. Check with your gas supplier for local requirements 

governing the temperature setting.

At least every 3 months a visual inspection should be made 

of the venting system. You should look for: 

• Obstructions which cause improper venting. 

• Damage or deterioration which could cause 

improper venting or leakage of combustion 

products.

        NOTE: This water heater when set at the lower temperature 
setting is not capable of producing hot water of sufficient 
temperatures for sanitizing purposes. During winter season or any 
cold period, you may desire higher temperature setting to adjust for 
the colder incoming form on the cooler tank surface. This does not 
mean the tank is leaking. Refer to Page 16 for explanation of this 
condition. During the summer months, the warmer incoming water 
temperatures will benefit the performance of your water heater and 
reduce the amount of condensation developed. 

Condesation does not mean that your tank is leaking. Over 40% of 
reported tank leaks on installation are proven to be condensation.  To 
avoid unnecessary inconvenience and expense, make sure the tank is 
leaking before calling a service person. 

     NOTE:  The lower the temperature setting, greater the energy 

efficiency, both to heat water and to maintain its temperature 

during standby periods. Lower water temperatures also extend 

the tank life. 

Remember , no water heating system will provide exact 

temperatures at all times. Allow a few days of operation at this 

setting, to determine the correct temperature setting consistent 

with your needs. 

Some models have values higher or lower than those noted above. Refer to 

pressure noted on the label affixed to the front of the water heater.

Consult your local company or gas supplier of correction is necessary.  

VACATION/FREEZING  TEMPERATURES-  If  the  water 

heater is to remain idle for 30 days or more, or us subject to 

freezing temperatures while shut off, the water heater and 

piping should be drained, and the drain valve should be left 

open.

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 pressure are as follows:

CAUTION: Setting the temperature sector dial higher provides 
hotter water, which increases the risk of scald injury.

The water heater electronic valve is constructed with a built-in 
shut-off designed to shut off the gas supply to the main Burner. 
The electronic valve is also equipped with a high temperature limit 
switch ECO (Energy Cut Off). The Energy Cut Off will shut off all gas 
supplied to the Burner switch is a single use switch if the electronic 
valve’s LED blinks four times, owner should call the service number 
founded in the front page of this manual.
