We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance.Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."These words mean: . You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions. You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't • follow instructions. All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed. Important Instructions Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified person. Water heaters sub- jected to flood conditions or any time the gas controls, main burner or pilot have been submerged in water require replacement of the entire water heater. Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable and can ignite when exposed to a spark or flame. To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the faucet as water begins to flow. Do not smoke or have any open flame near the faucet at the time it is open. The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn of potential exposure to such substances. WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This appliance can cause low-level exposure to some of the substances included in the Act.

The burning vapors literally"burn themselves out"without escaping back into the room. In the event of a flammable vapor incident, the Flame Lock°Safety System disables the water heater by shutting off the gas supply to the water heater's burner and pilot, preventing re-ignition of any remaining flammable vapors in the area. This will not prevent a possible fire/explosion if the igniter is depressed and flammable vapors have accumulated in the combustion chamber with the pilot light off. If you suspect a flammable vapor incident has occurred, do not use this appliance. Do not attempt to light this appliance, or depress the igniter button if you suspect flammable vapors have accumulated inside or outside the appliance.

This water heater must not be installed using iron piping or PVC water piping. • Use only pumps, valves, or fittings that are compatible with potable water. • Use only full flow ball or gate valves. The use of valves that may cause excessive restriction to water flow is not recommended. Explosion Hazard • Use only 95/5 tin-antimony or other equivalent solder. If the temperature and pressure relief valve Any lead based solder must not be used. is dripping or leaking, have a qualified • Piping that has been treated with chromates, boiler person replace it. seal, or other chemicals must not be used. • Chemicals that may contaminate the potable water Examples of a qualified person include: supply must not be added to the piping system. licensed plumbers, authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel. Do not plug valve. Do not remove valve. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, or explosion. As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion). In a closed system, the volume of water will grow.As the volume of water grows, there will be a corresponding increase in water pressure due to thermal expansion. Thermal expansion can cause premature tank failure (leakage). This type of failure is not covered under the limited warranty. Thermal expansion can also cause intermittent temperature-pressure relief valve operation: water discharged from the valve due to excessive pressure build up. The temperature-pressure relief valve is not intended for the constant relief of thermal expansion. This condition is not covered under the limited warranty. A properly-sized thermal expansion tank should be installed on all closed systems to control the effects of thermal expansion. Contact a plumbing service agency or your retail supplier regarding the installation of a thermal expansion tank. 13 Temperature and Pressure IMPORTANT: Only a new temperature and pressure relief valve should be used with your water heater. Do not use an Relief Valve old or existing valve as it may be damaged or not adequate for the working pressure of the new water heater. Do not place any valve between the relief valve and the tank. The Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve: • Must not be in contact with any electrical part. • Must be connected to an adequate discharge line. • Must not be rated higher than the working pressure shown on the data plate of the water heater. The Discharge Line: • Must not be smaller than the pipe size of the relief valve or have any reducing coupling installed in the Explosion Hazard discharge line. • Must not be capped, blocked, plugged or contain any If the temperature and pressure relief valve valve between the relief valve and the end of the dis- charge line. is dripping or leaking, have a qualified Must terminate a maximum of six inches above a floor person replace it. drain or external to the building.

If hot water use is expected to be more than normal, a higher thermostat setting may be required to meet the increased demand. When leaving your home for extended periods (vacations, etc.)turn the temperature dial to the vacation (VAC) setting. This will maintain the water at low temperatures with minimum energy losses and prevent the tank from freezing during cold weather. 19 Operating the Temperature Control System Figure 19B:Status Codes Status Light Code List of status codes are shown Normal Flashes: at top of gas control valve/thermostat. 0 Flashes Indicates Control Off/Pilot Out. i • 1 Flash Indicates Normal Operation. • Continuous Light indicates the gas control C ®� valve/thermostat is shutting down.

Water Temperature Adjustment The water temperature can be adjusted from 55°F to 155°F. Turn the Gas Control/Temperature Knob to the desired setting/temperature. NOTE: Some models are certified for 180°F outlet temperatures. See the Data Plate on the front of the water heater for the maximum outlet temperature. Operating Modes and Settings • Standard Mode-The controller adjusts the water heater to maintain the temperature set by the user. • Vacation Setting -The controller adjusts the water temperature to approximately 55°F. This setting is recommended when the water heater is not in use for a long period of time. This effectively turns the water heater down to a setting that prevents the water from freezing. 20 Operational Conditions water heater if the water temperature exceeds 189°F(87°C)for 155°F models or 199°F (93°C)for 180°F models.
