Venting System Inspection

The water heater’s internal flue must

be inspected annually to be certain it is

clean by removing the draft hood and

flue baffle.

When reinstalling the flue baffle

make certain it is hung securely by its

hanger at the top of the flue way.

Reinstall the draft hood.

Inspect the gas venting system and the

chimney.

Make certain the vent connector

from the draft hood to the chimney

is properly positioned and securely

attached.

If after inspection of the vent system

you found soot or deterioration; call

the local gas utility to correct the

problem and clean the flue, or replace

the flue, flue baffle, and venting

system before resuming operation of

the water heater.

Test for spillage at the draft hood

relief opening after 5 minutes of

burner operation. Use a flame of a

match or candle or smoke.

Burner Inspection

Visually inspect the pilot burner and

main burner annually.

Through the sight glass, inspect the

pilot burner flame with the main

burner off and inspect the main

burner while firing.

If any unusual burner operation is

noted, the water heater should be shut

off until qualified service assistance

can be obtained.

The burner operates in radiant mode

and glows bright orange when burning

correctly. Allow approximately 30

seconds after turning on for the burner

to reach the radiant mode

CAUTION: For your safety,

cleaning of the burner must be

performed only by qualified service

personnel. The burner chamber is

a sealed area. If the burner inner

door, lower air box, or inner door

burner assembly are removed, the

inner door gaskets, burner access

door gasket, and transition pan

gasket must be replaced.

For cleaning, remove the inner door

and inner door burner assembly from

the water heater. A vacuum cleaner

can be used on the burner and inside

the water heater. The burner can

also be cleaned by blowing air over

the burner surface. DO NOT allow

any large debris to remain inside the

burner. Refer to page 23.

Proper burner and pilot burner

pattern.

Care and cleaning of the water heater

Vacation and Extended Shut-Down

If the water heater is to remain idle for

an extended period of time, the power

and water to the appliance should

be turned off to conserve energy

and prevent a build-up of dangerous

hydrogen gas.

The water heater and piping should be

drained if they might be subjected to

freezing temperatures.

After a long shut-down period, the

water heater’s operation and controls

should be checked by qualified service

personnel. Make certain the water

heater is completely filled again before

placing it in operation.

NOTICE: Refer to the

Hydrogen Gas Caution in the

Operating Instructions.

Anode Rod

This water heater is equipped with

an anode rod designed to prolong

the life of the glass lined tank. The

anode rod is slowly consumed, thereby

eliminating or minimizing corrosion of

the glass lined tank.

Water sometimes contains a high

sulfate and/or mineral content and

together with cathodic protection

process can produce a hydrogen

sulfide, or rotten egg odor in the heated

water. Chlorination of the water supply

should minimize the problem.

NOTICE: DO NOT remove

the anode rod from the water

heater’s tank, except for

inspection and/or replacement,

as operation with the anode rod

removed will greatly shorten

the life of the glass lined tank

and will exclude warranty

coverage.

Gas ame

should be visible

on entire burner

surface.
