further information regarding anode replacement and this chlorination treatment.

If the smelly water persists after the anode replacement and chlorination treatment, we can only suggest that chlorination or aeration of the water supply be considered to eliminate the water problem.

Do not remove the anode leaving the tank unprotected. By doing so, all warranty on the water heater tank is voided.

“AIR” IN HOT WATER FAUCETS

HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable and explosive. To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet, located farthest away, be opened for several minutes before any electrical appliances which are connected to the hot water

system are used (such as a dishwasher or washing machine). If hydrogen gas is present, there will probably be an unusual sound similar to air escaping through the pipe as the hot water faucet is opened. There must be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.

HIGH WATER TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM

This water heater is equipped with an automatic reset type high limit (Energy Cutoff) sensor. The high limit switch interrupts the main burner gas flow should the water temperature reach 203°F (95°C).

The high limit will automatically reset when the water temperature drops below 120°F (49°C). After cooling the tank temperature, turn off the water heater for at least 10 seconds by using the switch on front of the control box. Turn on the water heater. If this fails to correct the problem, contact your plumber or service representative.
