Safety Precautions

Do turn off manual gas shut-off valve if water

heater has been subjected to over heating, fire,

flood, physical damage or if the gas supply

fails to shut off.

DO NOT turn on water heater unless it is

completely filled with water.

DO NOT turn on water heater if cold water

supply shut-off valve is closed.

DO NOT allow combustible materials such as

newspaper, rags or mops to accumulate near

water heater.

DO NOT store or use gasoline or other

flammable vapors and liquids, such as

adhesives or paint thinner, in vicinity of this

or any other appliance. If such flammables

must be used, open doors and windows for

ventilation, and all gas burning appliances in

the vicinity should be shut off including their

pilot burners, to avoid vapors lighting.

NOTICE: Flammable vapors can be drawn by air

currents from surrounding areas to the water

heater.

If there is any difficulty in understanding or

following the Operating Instructions or the

Care and Cleaning section, it is recommended

that a qualified person or serviceman perform

the work.

Operating the water heater

CAUTION: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this water heater hat

has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!! To dissipate such gas and to reduce risk of injury, it is

recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before

using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will

be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. Do not

smoke or use an open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.

DANGER: Hotter

water increases the

Potential for Hot

Water SCALDS.

Households with

small children,

disabled, or elderly

persons may require

a 120°F or lower gas

control (thermostat)

setting to prevent

contact with HOT

water.

Water Temperature Setting

The temperature of the water in the

water heater can be regulated by setting

the temperature dial on the front of the

gas control (thermostat).

Safety and energy conservation

are factors to be considered when

selecting the water temperature

setting of the water heater’s gas

control (thermostat(s)). The lower the

temperature setting, the greater the

savings in energy and operating costs.

To comply with safety regulations,

the gas control (thermostat) was set

at its lowest setting before the water

heater was shipped from the factory.

The recommended starting point

temperature is 120°F.

Water temperatures above 125°F can

cause severe burns or death from

scalding. Be sure to read and follow the

warnings outlined in this manual and

on the label located on the water heater

near the gas control thermostat.

Mixing valves are recommended for

reducing point of use water temperature

by mixing hot and cold water in

branch water lines. It is recommended

that a mixing valve complying

with the Standard for Temperature

Actuated Mixing Valves for Hot Water

Distribution Systems, ASSE 1017 be

installed. See page 4 for more details

and contact a licensed plumber or the

local plumbing authority for further

information.

The chart below may be used as a

guide in determining the proper water

temperature for your home.
