Thank you for purchasing a Flammable V apour Ignition Resist ant Power V ented Water Heater . This water heater is designed to reduce the risk of flammable vapour related fires by shutting the burner down before flammable vapours get into the water heater combustion chamber . This is achieved by the means of the flammable vapour sensor . Properly i[...]

This water heater is design-certified by CSA International as a Category I, non-direct vented water heater which takes it s combustion air either from the installation area or from air ducted to the unit from the outside. In addition to the installation instructions found in this man- ual, the water heater must be installed in accordance with all l[...]

R elief V alve R equirements (T&P) All water heaters must be fitted with a proper temperature and pressure relief valve. These valves must be certified as meeting the requirements of the “ S tandard For Relief V alves For Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22/CSA 4.4” . If this water heater has been exposed to flooding, freezing, fire or an[...]

to the area adjacent to the water heater or to lower floors of the structure (see “IMPORT ANT” notice on the previous page). Before inst alling this water heater , consideration and planning must be given to the following details: • Proximity to walls and other objects (see “Clearance and Accessibility”). • Access to gas supply (see “[...]

This gas piping must be installed in accordance with all local and provincial or state codes or , in the absence of such, the latest edition of “Natural Gas and Prop ane Installation Code” CAN/CSA-B149.1 (Canada), or “National Fuel Gas Code” ANSI Z223.1 (NFP A 54) (U.S.A.). Note: When installing gas piping, apply sealing compounds approved [...]

Air R equirements Import ant: Air for combustion and ventilation must not come from a corrosive atmosphere. Any failure due to cor- rosive elements in the atmosphere is excluded from war- ranty coverage. Installations in or for cert ain places including, but not limited to, those listed below will require outdoor air for combustion due to chemical [...]

Confined Space Air R equirements for U .S. Installa tions Refer to Figure 5 (a), (b), (c) or (d) for proper sizing and location of combustion air ducts and openings. CHECK LOCAL CODES . (a) Equipment located in confined spaces; all air from inside the building. T wo permanent openings shall be provided connecting the confined space (e.g., closet, s[...]

V enting This water heater has a power vent system that discharges all it's combustion products out doors. The heater must be properly vented for removal of exhaust gases. Correct installation of the vent pipe system is mandatory for the safe and efficient operation of this water heater and is an impor- tant factor in the life of the unit. V e[...]

Horizontal V ent T er minal Installations The following requirements are illustrated in Figure 10: 1. ("A") Minimum 2.1m (7 ft.) above a p aved sidewalk or paved driveway that is located on public property . 2. ("B") Minimum 900mm (3 ft.) above any forced air or mechanical air supply inlet located within 1.8m (6 ft.) horizontall[...]

2. Must provide proper support for all pipes protruding through roof. 3. The vertical roof terminations should be sealed with a plumbing roof boot or equivalent flashing. The specifications are displayed in Figure 1 1. V ent Pipe Installation Refer to T able 2 for maximum and minimum vent length. Plan the vent system layout so that proper clearance[...]

V ent Pipe Runs All Power V ented water heaters generate a certain amount of operational noise. In order to minimize noise transmission to floor joists though hangers, place some sof t material such as foam rubber , approximately 12mm (1/2 in.) thick, between hangers and the vent pipes. 1. Horizontal runs must not, under any circumst ances, run dow[...]

4. T ighten the upper gear clamp to ensure the vent pipe is firmly secured and gas tight. 5. Check that the lower gear clamp is firmly seated, secured and gas tight. 6. As a final check, the vent pipe should be gently moved side to side and vertically . There should be no slipp age or movement of the vent pipe within the coupling. 7. Seal around th[...]

5. Install a shut-of f valve in the cold water inlet line. It should be located close to the water heater and be eas- ily accessible. The owner/operator must be shown the location of this valve and be given instructions on how to use it to shut off the water to the heater . Filling the Wa ter Heater Do not insert the power cord into the electrical [...]

in the water heater . The valve’s relief pressure must not exceed the working pressure of the water heater as stated on the data plate. Import ant: Only a new temperature and pressure relief valve should be used with your water heater . Do not use an old or existing valve as it may be damaged or not adequate for the working pressure of the new wa[...]

Impor tant: When using a leak test solution around the control, do not splash any liquid on the flammable vapour sensor , electric connections or electronic components of the gas control/thermostat. The gas control/thermostat can be damaged. DO NOT use a flame to detect gas leaks. 7. T urn the temperature dial to the lowest setting. The burner will[...]

Wa ter Hea ter Oper a tion Figure 24 shows the water heater ’ s sequence of operation when a call for heat is initiated. The ignition control module will attempt to light the burner three times. If the ignition con- trol does not detect ignition it will enter lockout mode, indi- cated by a three flash error code. Bur ner Flames Inspect the burner[...]

complaint associated with the anode rod is a “rotten egg smell” produced from the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in the water . Do not remove this rod perma- nently as it will void any warranties, st ated or implied. A special anode can be ordered if water odour or discoloura- tion occurs. This rod may reduce, if not eliminate, wate[...]

T emperature and Pr essure Relief V alv e Manually operate the temperature and pressure relief valve at least once a year to make sure it is working properly (see Figure 27). T o prevent water damage, the valve must be properly connected to a discharge line that terminates at an adequate drain. S t anding clear of the outlet (discharged water may b[...]
