ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Refer to the Use and Care Manual supplied with the water

1. TO TURN OFF GAS TO THE APPLIANCE:
Set the thermostat dial to the lowest setting “PILOT
LIGHTING” by rotating the thermostat dial on the water
heater's combination gas control clockwise until is stops.
Slightly depress the gas control knob on the combination gas
control and rotate it clockwise to the “OFF” position.
NOTICE: Knob cannot be turned from “PILOT” position
unless pushed down slightly. Do not use force. Shut off the gas
supply at the main gas supply line. Refer to the lighting
instruction label located above the combination gas control and
in the Use and Care manual for additional information on
shutting off the gas supply.
2. DISCONNECTION OF THERMOCOUPLE, PILOT
ASSEMBLY, BURNER SUPPLY TUBE AND PIEZO
WIRING FROM THE COMBINATION GAS
CONTROL: Using a 3/8” open-end wrench, disconnect
the thermocouple from the combination gas control. Using
a 7/16” open-end wrench, disconnect the pilot supply line
from the combination gas control. Using a 3/4” open-end
wrench, disconnect the burner supply tube from the
combination gas control. (LP water heaters have left hand
threads.) Locate the piezo wiring, slide the protective wire
insulator “boot” away from the piezo generator, and then
carefully pull apart the connection. See Figure 2.
3. T20 TORX HEAD SCREWS (USED TO SECURE

Grasp the burner supply tube and carefully remove the burner
access door assembly with burner assembly from the water
heater.
5. PILOT ASSEMBLY REMOVAL: Using a Phillip’s Head
Screwdriver, remove the screw which attaches the pilot
assembly to the burner supply tube, and discard it. Remove and
set aside the clip (not shown) that secures the thermocouple,
pilot burner tube and piezo igniter wire to the burner supply
tube. Pull the orange grommet with the pilot assembly through
its mounting hole, which is located on the burner access door.
