Location Requirements A WARNING Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard Do not install in a mobile home. Doing so can resit in carbon monoxide poisoning and death. The FIR System is designed to reduce the risk of flammable vapor-related fires. Flammable liquids (such as gasoline, solvents, propane, etc.) emit flammable vapors which can be ignited by a gas water heater's hot surface ignite or main burner, The resulting flashback and fire can cause death or serious burns to anyone in the area FIGURE 8.
Property Damage Hazard + All water heaters eventually leak + Do not install without adequate drainage. IMPORTANT: The water heater should be located in an area where leakage of the tank or connections will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water heater of to lower floors of the structure. Due to the normal corrosive action of water, the tank will eventually leak after an extended period of time.

For protection against excessive pressures and temperatures, a temperature and pressure relief valve must be installed in the opening marked “T & P RELIEF VALVE” (see Figure 25). This valve must be design certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of the production of listed equipment or materials as meeting the requirements for Retied Valves for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI 221.22.
ELECTRICAL Electrical Connections Before plugging in the water heater, always make sure: . The Voltage and frequency correspond to that specified on the water heater. » The electrical outlet has the proper overload fuse or breaker protection. . Unit is to connect to a 120VAC electrical supply outlet {extension cord is not allowed). WARNING Electric Shock Hazard Disconnect power before servicing. Replace all parts and panels before operating. wv Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
PRATING YOUR WATER HEATER Operating Instructions Read and understand these directions thoroughly before attempting to operate the water heater, Make sure the view port is nat missing of damaged (See Figure 36). Make sure the tank is completely filled with water before operating the water heater. The gas control valve/thermostat has a “On/Off Switch” and needs to be muted on before water heater is operational. Check the label on the front of heater near the gas control valve/ thermostat for the correct gas.
Water Heater Operation Figure 28 below shows the water heater's sequence of aeration when a call for heat is initiated. The ignition control module will attempt to light the burner three times. If the ignition control does not detect ignition it will enter lockout mode, indicated by display flashing status code {see status code 3 page 38 and/or status code 8 page 38). SEQUENCE OF OPERATION Cal for heat indicated by flashing of display screen stab odes.
Burner Flames Inspect the burner flames through the view port and compare them fo the drawings in Figure 31. A properly operating burner should produce a soft bite flame. Blue tips with yellow inner cones are satisfactory. The tips of the flame may have a slight yellow tint. The flame should not be all yellow or have a sharp blue-orange color. Contaminated air may cause an orange colored flame. Contact a qualified technician if the flame is not satisfactory. FIGURE 31.
may satisfy your normal hot water needs. If hot water use is expected to be more than normal, a higher thermostat setting may be required to meet the increased demand. When leaving your home for extended periods (vacations, etc.) Set the electronic control display temperature "COOLER" (button to its lowest setting. This will maintain the water at low temperatures with minimum energy losses and prevent the tank from freezing during cold weather.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT Draining and Flushing Temperature and Pressure Relief Naive DANGER + Hot water discharge burn hazard. + Keep clear of relief valve discharge unit. Temperature limiting valves are available. +» Read instruction manual for safe temperature setting. It is recommended that the tank be drained and flushed every 6 mantes to remove sediment which may build up during operation The water heater should be drained if being shut down during freezing temperatures.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Start Up Conditions Thermal Expansion AUCTION Property Damage Hazard + Avoid water heater damage. «Install thermal expansion tank or device if necessary. « Contact qualified installer or service agency. As water is heated. it expands {thermal expansion). Ina closed system, the volume of water wif grow. As the volume of water grows, there will be a corresponding increase in water pressure due to thermal expansion. Thermal expansion can cause premature tank failure (leakage).
Condensation Whenever the water heater is filled with cold water, some condensate will form while the burner is on. A water heater may appear to be leaking when in fact the water is condensation. This usually happens when: + Anew water heater is filled with cold water for the first time. + Burning gas produces water vapor In water heaters, particularly high efficiency models where flue temperatures are lower.
