WARNING
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE INPUT EXCEED THE RATE SHOWN ON THE HEATER RATING PLATE. OVER FIRING COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE OR SOOTING OF THE HEATER.
CATHODIC PROTECTION
CAUTION
HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE PRODUCED IN A HOT WATER SYSTEM SERVED BY THIS HEATER THAT HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME (GENERALLY TWO WEEKS OR MORE). HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that a hot water faucet be opened for several minutes before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. There should be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
PRECAUTIONS
IF THE UNIT IS EXPOSED TO THE FOLLOWING, DO NOT OPERATE HEATER UNTIL ALL CORRECTIVE STEPS HAVE BEEN MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN.
1.FLOODING TO OR ABOVE THE LEVEL OF THE BURNER OR CONTROLS
2.EXTERNAL FIRING
3.DAMAGE
4.FIRING WITHOUT WATER
5.SOOTING
NEVER OPERATE THE HEATER WITHOUT FIRST BEING CERTAIN IT IS FILLED WITH WATER AND A TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE IS INSTALLED IN THE RELIEF VALVE OPENING OF THE HEATER.
SHOULD OVERHEATING OCCUR OR THE GAS SUPPLY FAIL TO SHUT OFF, TURN OFF THE MANUAL GAS CONTROL VALVE TO THE APPLIANCE.
GENERAL INFORMATION
POWER BURNER
The initial
The sequence of operation of the unit is provided on page 15.
It is important to note that the controller has a reset button on the control box, Figure 1. The reset button is a safety device and would not normally be used.
HIGH LIMIT
The high limit (not adjustable) is factory set to cutout at 202°F (94°C). The
controller must be manually reset by depressing the reset button on front of
the control when water temperature drops to below 160°F (71°C).

WARNING

WITHOUT MODIFICATION FOR ALTITUDES UP TO 10,100 ft. (3078 m). THE (A)

FOR ALTITUDES UP TO 7,700 ft. (2347 m). INSTALLATIONS ABOVE THESE ALTITUDES MAY REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE BURNER ORIFICE. CALL
THE TECHNICAL CENTER @ (888)
Some gas utility companies derate their gas for altitude, making it unnecessary
to install high altitude orifices. Call the local gas or utility company to verify
BTU content.
Due to the input rating reduction at high altitudes, the output rating of the
appliance is also reduced and should be compensated for in the sizing of
the equipment for applications.
MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
KEEP APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS. (SEE WARNING ON PAGE 5, LOCATING THE HEATER).
Water heater maintenance includes periodic tank flushing and cleaning, and
removal of lime scale. The unit should be inspected and adjusted to maintain proper combustion. Refer to the following table. A periodic inspection of the venting system should be made. Where used, the water circulating pump should be oiled.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Following are the instructions for performing some of the recommended maintenance. Unit inspection and adjustment should be performed by a competent technician.
