ELECTRONIC IGNITION CONTROL
Each heater is equipped with a ignition module. The solid state ignition control (Fig. 4), ignites the main burner by utilizing a silicone nitride ignitor. The silicone nitride ignitor shuts off during the heating cycle and the main burner flame is sensed through a remote flame sensor integral to the silicone nitride ignitor assembly. The ignition control will try to ignite the main burner three times before lockout. Then it waits one hour before trying again to ignite the main burners. This is a continuous cycle.

EXHAUST INDUCER (BLOWER ASSY.)
All units are equipped with a exhaust inducer (Fig. 5). The inducer assists in drawing in fresh air to the unit for combustion and then assists in dispensing the combustion
The exhaust inducer is equipped with a gravity controlled damper to reduce the amount of heat loss through the flue, improving efficiency.

CIRCULATING PUMP
A circulating pump is used when a system requires a circulating loop or there is a storage tank used in conjunction with the heater. Refer to the piping diagrams at rear of manual for electrical hookup information and install in accordance with the latest version of the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70.
Only all bronze circulators are used with commercial water heaters.
Although circulators are oiled and operated by the manufacturer some circulators must be oiled again before operating. Please refer to manufacturer’s instructions.
DISHWASHING MACHINE REQUIREMENT
These appliances meet the National Sanitation Foundation Standard for sanitary installations when used with the following leg kits, Part No’s.
All dishwashing machines meeting the National Sanitation Foundation requirements are designed to operate with water flow pressures between 15 (1 bar) and 25 psi (1.7 bars). Flow pressures above 25 psi (1.7 bars), or below 15 psi (1 bar), will result in improperly sanitized dishes. Where pressures are high, a water pressure reducing or flow regulating control valve should be used in 1800F (82°C) line to the dishwashing machine, and should be adjusted to deliver water between these limits.
The National Sanitation Foundation also recommends circulation of 1800F(82°C) water. Where this is done, the circulation should be very gentle so that it does not cause any unnecessary turbulence inside the water heater. The circulation should be just enough to provide 1800F (82°C) water at the point of
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
REQUIRED ABILITY
INSTALLATION OR SERVICE OF THIS WATER HEATER REQUIRES ABILITY EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF A LICENSED TRADESMAN IN THE FIELD INVOLVED. PLUMBING, AIR SUPPLY, VENTING, GAS SUPPLYAND ELECTRICAL WORKARE REQUIRED.
WARNING
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
UNCRATING
The heater is shipped with the inducer already installed. The wiring conduit runs from the thermostat to the inducer. Before turning unit on, check to make sure the wiring conduit is securely plugged into the inducer.
LOCATING THE HEATER
WARNING
THERE IS A RISK IN USING FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES SUCH AS GAS WATER HEATERS IN ROOMS, GARAGES OR OTHER AREAS WHERE GASOLINE, OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR ENGINE DRIVEN EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLES ARE STORED, OPERATED OR REPAIRED. FLAMMABLE VAPORS ARE HEAVY AND TRAVEL ALONG THE FLOOR AND MAY BE IGNITED BY THE HEATER’S PILOT OR MAIN BURNER FLAMES CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION. SOME LOCAL CODES PERMIT OPERATION OF GAS APPLIANCES IN SUCH AREAS IF THEY ARE INSTALLED 18” OR MORE ABOVE THE FLOOR. THIS MAY REDUCE THE RISK IF LOCATION IN SUCH AN AREA CANNOT BE AVOIDED.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS WATER HEATER DIRECTLY ON A CARPETED FLOOR. A FIRE HAZARD MAY RESULT. Instead the water heater must be placed on a metal or wood panel extending beyond the full width and depth by at least 3 inches in any direction. If the heater is installed in a carpeted alcove, the entire floor shall be covered by the panel. Also, see the DRAINING requirements in MAINTENANCE Section.
THE HEATER SHALL BE LOCATED OR PROTECTED SO IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO PHYSICAL DAMAGE BYAMOVING VEHICLE.
