OPERATING PROCEDURE—This heater is
equipped with a spark ignitor to light the main burner.
There is no pilot light to be lit, but on initial start-up, it
is recommended that the outer door be removed (leave
inner door in place for safety) to determine if the spark
ignitor and main burner is operating properly.
To put the heater into operation it is only necessary
to turn the main manual gas valve to the “ON” position,
plug the power cord in and make sure the “ON/OFF”
switch located on the blower assembly is in the “ON”
position. Within 90 seconds the spark ignitor should
spark, then the gas valve should open and the main
burner ignite. After the main burner ignites, replace the
outer door. If no main burner flame is established, the
gas control will go through three trials for ignition
before going into a lock-out. A warning light will alert the
user of this lock-out condition. If this happens, refer to
“Troubleshooting Guide.
TO SHUT OFF WATER HEATER—Turn switch on
the blower assembly to the “OFF” position and turn the
main manual gas shut-off valve to the “OFF” position.
Maximum water temperatures occur just after burner
has shut off. To determine exact temperature of water
being delivered, turn on a hot water faucet and place
a thermometer in the hot water stream and read
thermometer.
DANGER: Make certain power to the water
heater is OFF before removing jacket access
panel FOR ANY REASON.
WARNING: Should overheating occur or the
gas supply fail to shut off, turn off electrical
power to heater at the on/off switch (disconnect
power cord or turn off at fuse or breaker box, as
appropriate). If water heater has been subjected
to fire, flood or physical damage, turn off gas
and electricity as explained above and do not
operate the water heater again until it has been
checked out by a qualified service technician.
NOTE: Replace any part of the gas control
system which has been under water.
The gas valve employed on the heater is equipped for
total regulation of the main burner and does not require
adjustment.
The thermostat is constructed with a built-in safety
shut-off device designed to shut off the gas supply to
the burner in the event the pilot flame is extinguished
for any reason. The thermostat is also equipped with a
single-use gas shut-off device that will shut off the gas
supply to the burner if the water in the water heater
exceeds normal operating temperatures. Refer to the
Troubleshooting Tips section of this manual or contact
your dealer for service.
