Safety Precautions

Do turn off manual gas shut-off valve if water heater

has been subjected to over heating, fire, flood,

physical damage or if the gas supply fails to shut off.

DO NOT turn on water heater unless it is completely

filled with water.

DO NOT turn on water heater if cold water supply

shut-off valve is closed.

DO NOT allow combustible materials such as

newspaper, rags or mops to accumulate near water

heater.

DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids, such as adhesives or paint thinner,

in vicinity of this or any other appliance. If such

flammables must be used, open doors and windows

for ventilation, and all gas burning appliances in the

vicinity should be shut off including their pilot

burners, to avoid vapors lighting.

NOTICE: Flammable vapors can be drawn by air

currents from surrounding areas to the water heater.

If there is any difficulty in understanding or following

the Operating Instructions or the Care and Cleaning

section, it is recommended that a qualified person or

serviceman perform the work.

Operating the water heater.

CAUTION: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this water heater that has not been used for a

long period of time (generally two weeks or more). HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!! To dissipate such

gas and to reduce risk of injury, it is recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink

before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will be an unusual sound

such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. DO NOT smoke or use an open flame near the faucet at the

time it is open.

DANGER: Hotter water

increases the Potential for Hot

Water SCALDS

. Households

with small children,

disabled, or elderly persons

may require a 120°F or

lower gas control

(thermostat) setting to

prevent contact with HOT

water.

Water Temperature Setting

The temperature of the water in the water

heater can be regulated by setting the

temperature dial on the front of the gas

control (thermostat).

Safety and energy conservation are factors

to be considered when selecting the water

temperature setting of the water heater’s

gas control (thermostat(s)). The lower the

temperature setting, the greater the savings

in energy and operating costs.

To comply with safety regulations, the gas

control (thermostat) was set at its lowest

setting before the water heater was shipped

from the factory. The recommended

starting point temperature is 120°F.

Water temperatures above 125°F can

cause severe burns or death from scalding.

Be sure to read and follow the warnings

outlined in this manual and on the label

located on the water heater near the gas

control thermostat.

Mixing valves are recommended for

reducing point of use water temperature

by mixing hot and cold water in branch

water lines. It is recommended that a

mixing valve complying with the Standard

for Temperature Actuated Mixing Valves

for Hot Water Distribution Systems, ASSE

1017 be installed. See page 4 for more

details and contact a licensed plumber or

the local plumbing authority for further

information.

The chart below may be used as a guide in

determining the proper water temperature

for your home.
