16.After confirming no material of any type are between door gasket and combustion chamber shield, align the screws on the inner door with the screw holes on the combustion chamber and tighten with 1/4” nut driver or 1/4” socket & ratchet (Figure 97). After tightening the inner door screws, visually inspect area around door gasket and skirt for spaces or gaps. The door gasket MUST be sealed completely in order for the water heater to perform properly.
DO NOT OPERATE THE WATER HEATER IF THE DOOR GASKET DOES NOT CREATE A SEAL BETWEEN MANIFOLD DOOR AND COMBUSTION CHAMBER.
17.Reconnect the manifold tube to the gas control valve/ thermostat (Note: Do Not apply any thread sealant at this connection). To prevent any cross threading the manifold tube should be started by hand (turn clockwise
18.Reconnect all the electrical connections to the bottom of the gas control valve/thermostat, gently pushing each connector up snapping into place (Figure 100).
19.Reconnect the electrical flag terminals and air pressure tubing to pressure switch (Figure 101).
20.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 94).
21.Restart the water heater by following the directions on the “Lighting and Operating Instructions” label located on the front of the water heater.
22.As the burner is heating (view flames through viewport), test the manifold tube connection at the gas control valve/thermostat by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak detection solution (IMPORTANT:
Do Not splash any solution onto any electrical connections) (Figure 100).
23.Upon verifying proper operation of the water heater, replace the manifold cover/outer door.
