Use and Care Manual

Make sure there are no sharp bends
in the thermocouple and that there is
at least a 1” section of straight
thermocouple coming from the
bracket.
Direct all connections to the burner
assembly away from and below the
flame of the burner.
11. PREPARE TO INSTALL THE BURNER ACCESS
DOOR:
Remove the old door gasket and clean the metal surfaces on
which the old gasket was attached on the back of the door and
the front of the burner chamber area.
The outside edge may be scraped with a putty knife,
sanded lightly with sand paper, and washed with a light soap
and water mixture to remove the old gasket material and
adhesive.
!
WARNING: Do not use flammable liquids such as
gasoline, paint thinners, or solvents to remove the old
gasket material and adhesive.
NOTICE: A new gasket must replace the existing one
prior to reassembly.
Install a new gasket on the back of the Burner Access Door
by removing the pull away tabs on the gasket and sticking the
new gasket to the back of the Burner Access Door, aligning
the holes in the gasket with the holes on the Burner Access
Door for the T20 Torx head screws.
12. INSTALL THE BURNER ACCESS DOOR:
Insert the burner access door assembly back into the burner
chamber and reassemble in the reverse order of removal.
Make sure the gasket is fully seated.
Make sure the speed clips are tight in place upon reinstallation of
the door. Extra speed clips are provided in the event some are lost
or damaged in the removal of the burner access door.
When connecting the pilot supply tube, make sure it is
seated into the valve straight to help prevent crossthreading of
the connection and an improper alignment with the gas valve.
Use a wrench to snug the connection to the valve to prevent
gas leakage. Make sure there are no sharp bends in the pilot sup-
ply tube and that there is at least a 1” section of straight pilot supply
tube coming from the bracket.
When connecting the burner supply tube, make sure the
connection is not cross threaded.
When connecting the thermocouple, make sure it is inserted into
the valve straight to prevent damage to the thermocouple. The
thermocouple should be no more than one quarter (1/4) turn
beyond hand tight.
When connecting the piezo ignitor wire to the bottom of the
piezo ignitor striker, make sure to pull all excess wire to the
outside of the burner chamber to prevent unnecessary exposure
to burner flame.
Tighten the T20 Torx head screws to no more than 15 inch
pounds of torque using the TORX head tool, DO NOT over
tighten. DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS.
!
WARNING: Failure to properly install the burner access
door could result in a potentially hazardous situation that
could result in death or serious injury and/or property
damage.
13. GAS SUPPLY:
Turn the gas supply on at the main gas line, turn the gas cock
knob “counterclockwise”  to the pilot position and relight
the pilot per the lighting instructions located on the heater and
in the Use & Care Manual.
14. THERMOCOUPLE OPERATION
Check that the pilot is lit and the thermocouple is enveloped
3/8” to 1/2” by the pilot flame by looking through the sight
glass located on the door.
Turn the gas cock knob to the “ON” position.
15. MAIN BURNER OPERATION:
Check the operation of the burner through the sight glass
located on the burner access door.
16. CHECK FOR LEAKS:
Check the burner supply tube and pilot supply tube at the gas
control valve for gas leaks with a soap and water solution.
The appearance of bubbles indicate a leak.
Tighten all connections if a leak is found and check once
again with solution.
17. TEMPERATURE SETTING:
DANGER: Hotter water increases the potential for
Hot Water SCALDS.
Turn the temperature dial to the desired setting. The
recommended starting point temperature is 120°F.
The illustration above details the approximate water
temperature for each mark on the Gas Control
(Thermostat) temperature Dial.
18. REPLACE JACKET DOOR:
Replace the jacket door by inserting one end of the door behind
the jacket edge then insert the opposite end of the door behind
the jacket edge and release the door.
