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.
