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 filter and venting
system should be made by service
personnel qualified 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 flush
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 flammable 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
filters 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.
Before performing any Housekeeping tasks to this water heater, be sure to turn the unit off and disconnect the
power supply.
Vacuum around the water heater for dust, dirt and lint on a regular basis. Clean the water heater and remote
control by using a damp soft cloth with a few drops of mild detergent and gently wiping the surfaces of the unit.
Wipe any remaining moisture with a dry soft cloth.
To ensure sufficient ventilation and combustion air supply, proper clearances must be maintained. The water
filters should be cleaned on a monthly basis.
DANGER: Shock Hazard. Make sure the electrical power to the water heater is off to avoid potential serious
injury or damage to components.
DANGER: Combustible materials, such as clothing, cleaning materials, or flammable liquids, etc., must not
be placed against or next to the water heater.
