2.

Check gas type, see Fig. 2, page 5.

3.Reset error code and open a water tap to cycle the heater in an effort to purge air on new installations. Cycling hot water tap on and off multiple times may be necessary. If heater still faults with EA error code, have a licensed gas technician properly purge air out of the gas line leading to the water heater.

4.Check three wire connections to ignition group on the lower front of the heat exchanger are secure.

5.Check gas pressure, see chapter 3.12, page 22.

6.Check venting specifications are met. Improper venting may cause premature failure of the flame sensor rod.

7.Check that the minimum power fan speed has been adjusted to the proper value. See page 34.

8.Observe inside the viewing window of the heat exchanger when a hot water tap is opened. Sparking should be followed by a steady blue flame. If flame is unstable or yellow with proper gas pressure, confirm CO2 readings per section 6.4.
