Venting System (Direct Vent Only)
The venting system should be inspected annually to
ensure all of the vent sections are secure and airtight.
Qualified service personnel are familiar with vent system
inspections and may be contacted for advice.
WARNING:
DO NOT operate the water heater if the vent system shows
signs of leaking exhaust. Leaking exhaust could lead to
death, personal injury, and/or product failure.
For outdoor models, check the air intake and vent outlet
for blockage and/or debris.
DANGER:
Shock Hazard – Make sure the electrical power to the water
heater is OFF before removing protective cover. Electric
shock will cause death or serious personal injury.
Condensate Collector
CAUTIONS:
• Condensate is known to be acidic; refer to federal, state
(provincial), and local codes for proper handling and
discharge methods.
• DO NOT operate without the condensate collector
drain connected and routed to a proper drain that can
handle corrosive condensate. This could cause the
system to malfunction or fail.
On a regular basis, inspect the condensate drain line to
ensure the condensate is draining properly.
The condensate coming from the water heater is known
to be acidic. The heater features a built-in condensate
neutralizer that uses CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) in rock
form as a medium.
Periodically check the medium visually to ensure that it
is not depleted and refill accordingly. It is recommended
that you contact a qualified service technician to perform
the work.
