FAILURE TO OPERATE
Should the burner fail to light, the control will perform two more ignition trials prior to entering a lockout state (flash- ing “LOC”). Note that each subsequent ignition trial will not occur immediately. After a failed ignition trial, the blower must run for approximately 10 seconds to purge the system, then the ignitor element must complete a 30 second
Any time flashing double zero’s are shown, you must look for an LED out, or flashing. The LED that is out or flashing will assist you in diagnosing lock out con- dition.
FUEL CONVERSIONS
This product may be converted from L.P. gas (propane) to Natural gas or from Natural gas to L.P. gas (propane). For information and requirements about this procedure call the Technical Service Department at
!WARNING
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance.
!WARNING
DO NOT use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace the water heater if the control system or any gas control which has been under water.
CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERES
The heater should not be installed near an air supply con- taining halogenated hydrocarbons. For example, the air in beauty salons, dry cleaning establishments, photo pro- cessing labs, and storage areas for liquid and powdered bleaches or swimming pool chemicals often contain hydrocarbons. The air there may be safe to breathe, but when it passes through a gas flame, corrosive elements are released that will shorten the life of any gas burning appliance. Propellants from common spray cans or gas leaks from refrigeration equipment are highly corrosive after passing through a flame. The limited warranty is voided when failure of water heater is due to a corrosive atmosphere. (Reference is made to the limited warranty for complete terms and conditions.)
CONDENSATE
This is a condensing high efficiency appliance, therefore this unit has a condensate removal system. Condensate is nothing more than water vapor, derived from the com- bustion products, similar to an automobile when it is ini- tially started. This condensate does have a low pH and should be treated with a condensate filter. This filter con- tains either lime crystals or marble crystals, which will neutralize the condensate. The outlet of the filter is sized for 5/8" ID (inside diameter) plastic tubing. It is very important that the condensate line is sloped away from and down to a suitable inside drain. If the condensate outlet on the AdvantagePlus is lower than the drain, you must use a condensate removal pump. It is also very important that the condensate line is not exposed to freezing temperatures, or any other type of blockage. Plastic tubing should be the only material used for the condensate line. Steel, brass, copper, or other metals will be subject to corrosion and deterioration. A second vent may be necessary to prevent condensate line vacuum lock if a long horizontal run is used. Also an increase to 1" tubing may be necessary.
NOTE: Always check local codes for proper evacuation of condensate.

CONDENSATE LINE MUST BE PITCHED AT LEAST 1/4" PER FOOT TO PROPERLY DRAIN. IF THIS CANNOT BE DONE OR A VERY LONG LENGTH OF CONDENSATE HOSE IS USED YOU MUST INCREASE THE CONDENSATE HOSE TO A MINIMUM OF 1" I.D. AND PLACE A TEE IN THE LINE AFTER THE CONDENSATE NEUTRALIZER TO PROPERLY REDUCE VACUUM LOCK IN THE DRAIN LINE.
