Properly maintained, your water
heater will provide years of
dependable trouble-free service.
It is recommended that a periodic
inspection of the burner, relief
valve, water lter and venting
system should be made by
service personnel qualied in gas
appliance repair.
It is suggested that a routine
preventive maintenance program
be established and followed by
the user.
At least once a year, lift and release
the lever handle on the pressure
relief valve, located in the hot
outlet piping of the water heater,
to make certain the valve operates
freely. Allow several gallons to
ush through the discharge line to
an open drain.
Rapid closing of faucets or solenoid
valves in automatic water using
appliances can cause a banging
noise heard in a water pipe.
Strategically located risers in
the water pipe system or water
hammer arresting devices can be
used to minimize the problem.
Inspect the area around the water
heater to ensure a safe operating
environment. Keep appliance area
clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other
ammable vapors and liquids.
Ensure the unit has not been
damaged. If damage or denting
is present, contact a service
personnel to verify proper
operation.
Check for any abnormal sounds
during normal operation of the
water heater.
All piping should be checked for
gas and/or water leaks. Refer
to page 12 of this manual for
instructions on leak testing.
The air intake and cold water
supply lters should be
cleaned monthly. Refer to the
“Housekeeping” section for
further information.
DO NOT operate the water heater
if you feel something is wrong with
the unit.
DO NOT allow children to operate
or otherwise handle the unit.
DANGER: Before
manually operating
the relief valve, make
certain no one will be
exposed to the danger
of the hot
water released by the
valve. The water may
be hot enough to
create a scald hazard.
The water should be
released into a
suitable drain to
prevent injury or
property damage.
DANGER: Hotter
water increases the
potential for Hot Water
Scalds.
DANGER: Failure
to perform the
recommended
Routine Preventative
Maintenance can harm
the proper operation
of this water heater,
which can cause
carbon
monoxide dangers,
excessive hot water
temperatures and
other potentially
hazardous conditions.
Care and cleaning of the water heater.
Routine Preventative Maintenance
NOTICE: If the pressure relief valve on the hot water heater discharges periodically, this may be
due to a problem in the water system. Contact the water supplier or your plumbing contractor on
how to correct this. DO NOT plug the relief valve outlet.
NOTICE: After inspection, maintenance, and/ or cleaning, ensure proper operation by turning on a hot
water faucet.
HOW TO CLEAN THE WATER FILTER:
1. Make sure the unit is OFF and the electrical power supply has been
disconnected.
2. Turn the water supply OFF to the heater.
3. Unscrew the water lter, and slide the lter out.
