Venting System Inspection

The water heater’s internal flue must

be inspected annually to be certain it is

clean by removing the draft hood and flue

baffle.

When reinstalling the flue baffle make

certain it is hung securely by its hanger at

the top of the flue way.

Reinstall the draft hood.

Inspect the gas venting system and the

chimney.

Make certain the vent connector from

the draft hood to the chimney is properly

positioned and securely attached.

If after inspection of the vent system you

found soot or deterioration; call the local

gas utility to correct the problem and clean

the flue, or replace the flue, flue baffle,

and venting system before resuming

operation of the water heater.

Test for spillage at the draft hood relief

opening after 5 minutes of burner

operation. Use a flame of a match or

candle or smoke.

Burner Inspection

Visually inspect the pilot burner and main

burner annually.

Through the sight glass, inspect the pilot

burner flame with the main burner off and

inspect the main burner while firing.

If any unusual burner operation is noted,

the water heater should be shut off

until qualified service assistance can be

obtained.

The burner operates in radiant mode

and glows bright orange when burning

correctly. Allow approximately 30 seconds

after turning on for the burner to reach the

radiant mode

!

CAUTION: For your safety, cleaning of

the burner must be performed only by

qualified service personnel. The burner

chamber is a sealed area. If the burner inner

door, lower air box, or inner door burner

assembly are removed, the inner door

gaskets, burner access door gasket, and

transition pan gasket must be replaced.

For cleaning, remove the inner door and

inner door burner assembly from the water

heater. A vacuum cleaner can be used on

the burner and inside the water heater. The

burner can also be cleaned by blowing

air over the burner surface. DO NOT

allow any large debris to remain inside the

burner.

Proper burner and pilot burner

pattern.

Care and cleaning of the water heater.

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

personnel. Make certain the water heater

is completely filled again before placing it

in operation.

NOTICE: Refer to the

Hydrogen Gas Caution in the

Operating Instructions.

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

warranty coverage.

Gas ame

should be visible

on entire burner

surface.
