Vacation and Extended Shut-Down

If the water heater is to remain idle for an extended period of time, the power and water to the appliance

should be turned o.

The water heater and piping should be drained if they might be subjected to freezing temperatures.

After a long shut-down period, the water heater’s operation and controls should be checked by qualied

service personnel.

Anti-Freezing

While the Anti-Freezers will help to protect from cold temperatures, they will in no way guarantee

protection from freeze damage. DO NOT rely on the Anti-Freezers to fully protect the unit from freezing,

take all precautions to prevent cold damage.

* Freezing anywhere in the plumbing system can result in damage to the

water heater, such as a rupture in your Heat Exchanger. All pipes must be

adequately protected from freezing.

Units with Anti-Freezers have an automatic heating device and will help

to avoid freeze damage, but the power must be kept on. Freezing will occur

with no power. In very cold areas and when the temperature is under 32°F, or

in event of an ice storm, freezing will occur as the heating power limit is

exceeded.If these conditions take place, please follow the procedures

explained below.

Draining Procedure

When the temperature falls below 32°F, water in your plumbing system or water heater can turn to ice and

then expand causing damage to the water heater. This damage is not covered under your manufacturer’s

warranty. If these conditions are anticipated, please drain the water heater as follows to help but not

guarantee from freezing:

1. Shut o the main gas valve and power

2. Shut o the inlet water valve

3. Open all faucets

4. Take o the drain valve, and allow water to drain for 3 minutes or until the unit is empty.

5. Making sure all water is out, replace the drain valve, and shut o the faucets.
