GENERAL INFORMATION

POWER BURNER

The initial start-up procedure of the gas power burner is provided on page 18 thru 21. Refer to Figure 12, burner exploded view for burner components location.

The sequence of operation of the power burner is provided on page 15. For detailed Power Burner Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting refer to the separate Power Burner Manual provided with this water heater.

THERMOSTAT

It is suggested the thermostat be turned to the lowest setting, which satisfies the hot water requirements of the system. This helps minimize scale formation in the heater.

HIGH LIMIT

The high limit (not adjustable) is factory set to cutout at 205°F (96°C). The high limit switch must be manually reset by depressing the reset button on front of the control when water temperature drops to about 180°F (82°C).

*Note: Flue gas excess O2 below 3% may cause combustion chamber premature failure; flue gas excess O2 above 7% may cause rough operation or incomplete combustion. Final

manifold pressure settings should be based on flue O2/CO2 reading!

**Note: Air inlet damper setting needs to be adjusted at field for direct vent and/or high elevation installations.

MAINTENANCE

to the following table. A periodic inspection of the venting system should be made. Where used the water heating system circulating pump should be oiled.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Following are the instructions for performing some of the recommended maintenance. Power burner inspection and adjustment should be performed by a competent technician.
