3 INST ALLING YOUR GAS W A TER HEA TER Important Information About This W ater Heater This gas water heater was manufactured to voluntary safety standards to reduce the likelihood of a fl ammable vapor ignition incident.
4 Location Requirements The Flame Lock™ Safety System is designed to reduce the risk of flammable vapor-related fires. The patented system protects your family by trapping the burning vapors within the water heater combustion chamber through the special flame-trap.
5 IMPORT ANT : The water heater should be located in an area where leakage of the tank or connections will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water heater or to lower floors of the structure. Due to the normal corrosive action of the water , the tank will eventually leak after an extended period of time.
6 Gas Supply Gas Requirements IMPORT ANT : Read the data plate to be sure the water heater is made for the type of gas you will be using in your home. This information will be found on the data plate located near the gas control valve/thermostat. If the information does not agree with the type of gas available, do not install or light.

8 Unconfined Space A water heater in an unconfined space uses indoor air for combustion and requires at least 50 cubic feet for each 1,000 BTUH of the total input for all gas appliances. The table below shows a few examples of the minimum square footage (area) required for various BTUH inputs.

10 V ent Pipe System This water heater uses a non-direct, single-pipe vent system to remove exhaust gases created by the burning of fossil fuels. Air for combustion is taken from the immediate water heater location or is ducted in from the outside (see “Combustion Air Supply and V entilation”).
11 Chimney Connection IMPORT ANT : Before connecting a vent to a chimney , make sure the chimney passageway is clear and free of obstructions. The chimney must be cleaned if previously used for venting solid fuel appliances or fireplaces.
12 W ater System Piping Piping Installation Piping, fittings, and valves should be installed according to the installation drawing (Figure 13). If the indoor installation area is subject to freezing temperatures, the water piping must be protected by insulation.
13 Closed System/Thermal Expansion Periodic discharge of the temperature and pressure relief valve may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water supply system. The water utility supply meter may contain a check valve, backflow preventer or water pressure reducing valve.

15 Installation Checklist W ater Heater Location □ Centrally located with the water piping system. Located as close to the gas piping and vent pipe system as possible. □ Located indoors and in a vertical position. Protected from freezing temperatures.
16 OPERA TING YOUR W A TER HEA TER Lighting Instructions Read and understand these directions thoroughly before attempting to light or re-light the pilot. Make sure the viewport is not missing or damaged. (See Figure 23) Make sure the tank is completely filled with water before lighting the pilot.
17 Checking the Draft After successfully lighting the water heater , allow the unit to operate for 15 minutes and check the drafthood relief opening for proper draft. Make sure all other appliances in the area are operating and all doors are closed when performing the draft test.
18 Operating the T emperature Control System W ater T emperature Adjustment The water temperature can be adjusted from 1 10°F to 150°F . T urn the Gas Control/T emperature Knob to the desired setting/temperature. Operating Modes and Settings • Standard Mode - The controller adjusts the water heater to maintain the temperature set by the user .
19 Operational Conditions Condensation Moisture from the products of combustion condenses on the tank surface and the outside jacket of the water heater and forms drops of water which may fall onto the burner or other hot surfaces. This will produce a “sizzling” or “frying” noise.
20 MAINTENANCE OF YOUR W A TER HEA TER Draining and Flushing It is recommended that the tank be drained and flushed every 6 months to remove sediment which may build up during operation. The water heater should be drained if being shut down during freezing temperatures.
21 Replacement Parts IMPORT ANT : The following maintenance procedures are for the Flame Lock ™ Safety System components and should be performed by a qualified person. Replacement parts may be ordered through your plumber or the local distributor . Parts will be shipped at prevailing prices and billed accordingly .
22 Replacing the Pilot Assembly 1. Remove the manifold assembly as directed previously . 2. Remove the retainer clip from the back of the two piece wire connector and remove the two piece wire connector from the manifold door (Figure 25). 3. Locate and remove the screws on the underside of the burner .
23 1. Check the door gasket for damage or imbedded debris prior to installation. Figure 28A Combustion Chamber Door Gasket Bracket Flame-trap Figure 28B Manifold Assembly Close-up Close-up inside view of the combustion chamber.
24 Removing and Replacing the Gas Control V alve/Thermostat IMPORT ANT : The gas control valve/thermostat is a standard valve with wire leads that connect to a thermal switch. Removing the Gas V alve: 1. Turn the gas control/temperature knob to the “OFF” position (Figure 19).
25 PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) CORRECTIVE ACTION HIGH OPERA TION COSTS 1. Thermostat set too high 2. Sediment or lime in tank 3. W ater heater too small for job 4. Wrong piping connections 5. Leaking faucets 6. Gas leaks 7. W asted hot water 8. Long runs of exposed piping 9.
