14 Venting This water heater has been shipped with a draft diverter for which it was designed with reference to the horizontal and vertical planes. If removed, the draft diverter shall be replaced in the same position and secured to the jacket top by the screws with which it was installed. This water heater must be connected to a masonry chimney or[...]

15 5. Connect the damper wiring plug to t he connector on the side of the water heater. Note: The plug and connector can only be engaged one way (polarized). 6. The Lighting and Operating instruct ions are outlined beginning on page 25. The damper must be in the open position when the water heater main burner is operating (the arrow on the damper p[...]

16 Provide adequate air for combustion and vent ilation. An insufficient supply of air will cause recirculation of combustion products resulting in air contamination that may be hazardous to lif e. Such a condition often will result in a yellow, luminous burner flames, causing carboning or sooting of the burners and flue tubes with possible damage [...]

28 General Operation (Te mperature Adjustment) continue d- An automatic gas shut-off device (ECO) is incorporated in the thermostat which will shut off all gas supply to the burner and pilot if the water heater temperature exceeds 200°F (93°C). Should the ECO function (open), the water temperature should be reduced to approximately 120°F (49°C)[...]

29 General Opera tion continued- Burner Flame Check At the time of installation and at peri odic intervals (about every 3 months), a visual check of the pilot and burner flames should be made to determine if they are burning properly. No adjustment to the air shutter is required for this heater . The burner flames should be blue with yellow tips. A[...]

30 MAINTENANCE The following maintenance should be performed by a qualified service technician at the minimum periodic intervals suggested below. In some installations, the maintenance interval may be more frequent depending on the amount of use and the operating condi tions of the water heater. Regular inspection and maintenance of the water heate[...]

31 5. Annually remove the main burner rack assembly to clean orifices and related parts of any dirt or other fore ign material. Inspect the burner ports for obstructions or debris and clean with a wire brush, vacuum, or use a mild detergent solution to clean as needed. NOTE: It is imperative for proper operation of the water heater that the main bu[...]

32 Maintenance (continue d)- Contact your supplier, plumbing profe ssional or contact the company at the address given on the rating plate of the water heater for replacement parts.

34 1. The electronic thermostat controls the 24-volt circuit to the ignition control. When the thermostat contacts close, a 24-volt circuit is completed from the transformer through the thermostat rela y to the ignition control module to initiate the ignition sequence. 2. On flue damper models, the damper reaches then full open position, the end sw[...]

35 Test or Condition: Result: Action Taken: Start - Disconnect sensor leads from electronic control module and measure resistance of sensor(s) with ohmmeter Is resistance between 700 and 30K ohms (see page 38)? YES ↓ NO → Sensor(s) may be shortened or open. Check for loose, broken or shorted wires. Replace sensing bulb(s) if necessary. Sensors [...]

36 Test or Condition: Result: Action Taken: Are burners operating? If pilot does not light and pilot is not sparking, check to make sure flue damper is in the full open position. Damper opens? YES ↓ NO → Check flue damper wiring. Check for 24 volts at yellow w i re from thermostat to damper. If damper still does not open check for 24 volts betw[...]
