Care And Cleaning Of The Water Heater
Routine Preventative Maintenance
DANGER:
Before manually operating the relief valve, make certain no one will
be exposed to the danger of the hot water heater by the valve. The water may be
hot enough to create a scald hazard. The water should be released into a suitable
drain to prevent injury or property damage.
DANGER:
Hotter water increases the potential for hot water scalds.
DANGER:
Failure to perform the recommended routine preventative
maintenance can harm the proper operation of this water heater, which can
cause carbon monoxide dangers, excessive hot water temperatures and other
potentially hazardous conditions.
Properly maintained, your water heater will provide years of dependable trouble
free service. It is recommended that a periodic inspection of the burner, relief
valve, water filter and venting system should be made by service personnel
qualified in gas appliance repair.
It is suggested that a routine preventive maintenance program be established and
followed by the user.
At least once a year, lift and release the lever handle on the pressure relief valve,
located in the hot outlet piping of the water heater, to make certain the valve
operates freely. Allow several gallons to flush through the discharge line to an
open drain.
Rapid closing of faucets or solenoid valves in automatic water using appliances
can cause a banging noise heard in a water pipe. Strategically located risers in
the water pipe system or water hammer arresting devices can be used to
minimize the problem.
Inspect the area around the water heater to ensure a safe operating environment.
Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids. Ensure the unit has not been damaged. If
damage or denting is present, contact a service personnel to verify proper
operation.
Check for any abnormal sounds during normal operation of the water heater.
All piping should be checked for gas and/or water leaks. Refer to page 14 of this
manual for instructions on leak testing.
