When operating the water heater for the rst time, ensure the connected gas type matches that of the gas type of the water heater. Check
whether the gas supplied is NG or LP. The water heater gas type is indicated on the rating plate on the side of the water heater.
2. Check the Power (120V 60Hz)
Ensure the water heater is connected to a properly rated power supply.
3. Check the Cold Water Inlet Valve
Ensure the cold water inlet valve is open when operating the water heater. The water heater will not operate if there is insufcient water
supply.
4. Check the Gas Valve
Ensure the manual shut-off gas valve is open. The water heater will not operate unless it is supplied with gas.
5. Check the Area around the Water heater
Remove any combustible or ammable materials from the area around the water heater and do not hang wet laundry from the exhaust vent
pipe.
WARNING
Attempting to operate this water heater on a gas supply other than specied on the rating plate will result in improper water heater operation, and
could result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Do not operate the water heater if its combustion air intake is located in or near one of the areas or in the vicinity of products listed in Table 1.
These areas will always contain hazardous contaminates that can form strong acids while passing through the burner and vent system. These
acids will corrode the water heater’s heat exchanger, burner components and vent system, resulting in ue gas spillage and/or water leakage,
possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death. If the water heater combustion air intake is located in any area likely to
cause or contain contamination, or if products which would contaminate the air cannot be removed, the intake must be re-piped and terminated
to another location.
DO NOT re-pipe ventilation system on your own. Call a qualied service provider for assistance.
