may satisfy your normal hot water needs. If hot water use is expected to be more than normal, a higher thermostat setting may be required to meet the increased demand. When leaving your home for extended periods (vacations, etc.) Set the electronic control display temperature “COOLER”button to its lowest setting. This will maintain the water at low temperatures with minimum energy losses and prevent the tank from freezing during cold weather.

Powered Anode Operation

To protect the glass-lined water tank from corrosion through electrolysis, this water heater is equipped with a non sacrificial powered anode rod. The powered anode rod is non sacrificial and should not need to be replaced unless damaged.

If the powered anode rod has been damaged then the powered anode rod should be removed from the water heater tank and replaced. IMPORTANT: If the damaged powered anode rod has not been replaced but has been removed permanently, this will void any warranties.

FIGURE 33.

NOTE: Whether re-installing or replacing the powered anode rod, check for any leaks and immediately correct if found.

To replace the powered anode rod:

1.Set the gas control valve/thermostat to its lowest setting by pressing the “COOLER” and “HOTTER” buttons together at the same time holding for 1 second. Then press the “COOLER” button to the lowest setting (Figure 32).

2.Turn gas control switch to the “OFF” position (located right side of the gas control valve/thermostat (Figure 28), and turn off the gas supply to the unit.

3.Disconnect the electric connection by unplugging the water heater from the wall outlet.

4.Shut off the incoming water supply to the water heater and open a nearby hot water faucet to depressurize the water tank.

5.Remove the manifold cover outer door and connect a hose to the drain valve and terminate it to adequate drain or to the exterior of the building. Open the drain valve and allow at least 5 gallons of water from the tank to drain. Close drain and remove hose.

6.Unplug the electrical connection on top of the powered anode by pulling the wire connector up and off of the powered anode rod electrical connector (Figure 33).

7.Remove the powered anode rod by using a ratchet and a

1-1/16” socket turning counterclockwise (Figure 33) (Note: Figure 33 is shown exploded). If the socket used is short well you may have to remove the top male connector first before removing the powered anode rod.

8.Use Teflon® tape or an approved pipe sealant on threads of the new powered anode rod.

9.Prior to installing, it will be necessary to use pliers to bend up approximately 90° the electrical male connector on the top of the powered anode rod. The electrical connector should be bent upward in order to allow the 1-1/16” deep well socket to pass over the connector. Note: if using a short well socket the male connector must first be removed (Figure 33 is shown exploded for clarity).

10.Place the powered anode rod in the spud (top of the tank) and turn clockwise until the threads are hand tight. Using a ratchet and 1-1/16” socket tighten down water tight (Torque should be between 65 to 120 foot pounds).

11.Open a nearby hot water faucet to purge air from the water line. Fill water heater tank completely (Note: To assure the water heater tank is full, keep the hot water faucet open for 3 minutes after a constant flow of water is obtained).

12.After turning off the hot water faucet, check for water leaks around powered anode rod and immediately correct any if found.

13.Upon determining there’s no water leak at the newly installed powered anode rod, reconnect the electrical plug connector to the top of the anode male terminal.

14.Plug the electric transformer in the wall outlet and turn the gas supply back on to the gas control valve/thermostat.

15.Turn the gas control switch to the “ON” position (located on the side of the gas control valve/thermostat (Figure 28).

16.To restart the water heater, follow the directions on the “Lighting and Operating Instructions” label located on the front of the water heater near the gas control valve/ thermostat (Figure 28).

17.Upon verifying proper operation of the water heater, replace the manifold cover outer door.
