Vacation and Extended Shut-Down
If.the.water.heater.is.to.remain.idle.for.an.
extended.period.of.time,.the.power.and.
water.to.the.appliance.should.be.turned.off.
to.conserve.energy.and.prevent.a.build-up.
of.dangerous.hydrogen.gas .
The.water.heater.and.piping.should.be.
drained.if.they.might.be.subjected.to.
freezing.temperatures .
After.a.long.shut-down.period,.the.
water.heater’s.operation.and.controls.
should.be.checked.by.qualified.service.

Anode Rod
This.water.heater.is.equipped.with.an.
anode.rod.designed.to.prolong.the.life.
of.the.glass.lined.tank ..The.anode.rod.is.
slowly.consumed,.thereby.eliminating.or.
minimizing.corrosion.of.the.glass.lined.
tank ..
Water.sometimes.contains.a.high.sulfate.
and/or.mineral.content.and.together.with.
cathodic.protection.process.can.produce.
a.hydrogen.sulfide,.or.rotten.egg.odor.in.
the.heated.water ..Chlorination.of.the.water.
supply.should.minimize.the.problem .
NOTICE: Do not remove
the anode rod from the water
heater’s tank, except for
inspection and/or replacement,
as operation with the anode
rod removed will greatly
shorten the life of the glass
lined tank and will exclude
