CLEANING HEAT EXCHANGER
For recommended materials; including brush, appropriate
extension(s), refractory cover, and detailed instructions see
Table 30 - Heat Exchanger Cleaning Kits.
1. Shut down water heater:
• Follow the “To Turn Off Gas to Appliance” instructions for
the water heater in Start Up section.
• Do not drain the water heater unless it will be exposed to
freezing temperatures. If using freeze prevention fluid in
system, do not drain.
2. Allow time for the water heater to cool to room temperature
if it has been firing.
3. Remove the nuts securing the heat exchanger access cover
to the heat exchanger and set aside.
4. Remove the heat exchanger access cover, burner, and gas/
air arm assembly.
The water heater contains ceramic fiber materials. Use care
when handling these materials per instructions in the Service
Handbook. Failure to comply could result in severe personal
injury.
5. Remove the condensate hose from the heat exchanger end.
Connect a field supplied 3/4" diameter hose to a drain pan.
Using field supplied means, cover the refractory in the back
of the combustion chamber of the heat exchanger.
6. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any accumulation on the
water heater heating surfaces. Do not use any solvent.
7. Brush the heat exchanger while dry using a nylon bristle
brush. Caution: DO NOT use a metal brush. Re-vacuum the
heat exchanger after cleaning.
8. Finish cleaning using a clean cloth dampened with warm
water. Rinse out debris with a low pressure water supply.
9. Allow the heat exchanger to thoroughly dry.
10. Remove the field supplied rear refractory cover from the
back of the combustion chamber of the heat exchanger and
reassemble.
11. Close isolation valves on piping to isolate water heater from
system. Attach a hose to the water heater drain and flush
water heater thoroughly with clean water by using purging
valves to allow water to flow through the water make-up line
to the water heater.
12. Perform start-up and check-out procedures in the Check
Flame and Combustion - on Pages 50 and 51 of this manual.
13. Replace the access cover and restore water heater to
operation.

OILED BEARING CIRCULATORS
1. The circulator shipped with the XP water heater is water-

requiring oil, following circulator manufacturer’s instructions.
Over-oiling will damage the circulator.
