Installing the Fan in the Air Intake Chamber Box:
11.Plug the electrical connections of the new fan into the wiring harness: Align the electrical connections in such a position as to ensure the locking portions of the connections are on the same side. Gently push the electrical connectors together until the snap lock on the wiring harness engages the angular lock on the fan connector. Do Not use undue force in pushing these connectors together (Figure 71). (Note: Connectors are designed in such a manner if the connection is not properly aligned they will not lock together).
12.Place the new fan inside the air intake chamber box. It is imperative that the square portion of the fan air outlet be placed inside the raised square portion of the air intake chamber of the fan compartment (Figure 72).
13.Ensuring the new fan is properly aligned in the air intake chamber, secure the fan in place using the 2 screws removed in step 7 (Figure 72).
14.Route the wiring inside the fan box to the outer edge of the fan in such a manner to ensure it will not be pinched or damaged upon installation of the air intake screen (Figure 72).
15.Install the air intake chamber screen, ensuring that the prongs of the lower portion of the air intake chamber screen are in place in the holding slots. Using the 2 screws removed in step 4, secure the air intake chamber screen (Figure 73).
16.Turn on the electrical and the gas supplies to the water heater. Plug in the electric connection from the transformer to the electric outlet (Figure 69).
17.Restart the water heater by following the directions on the “Lighting and Operating Instructions” label located on the front of the water heater.
18.Upon verifying proper operation of the water heater, replace the manifold cover/outer door.
