Honeywell 238-47969-00A Manual De Usuario

At the time of installation and at periodic intervals (not more than six (6) 
months), a visual check of the pilot and main burner flames should be 
conducted.  The flames should be similar to those pictured below.  The main 
burner should light smoothly from the pilot.  (See Figure 9). 

 

Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.  Scalding may occur within five (5) 
seconds at a temperature setting of 140

°

 

F (60

° C).  To protect against hot water 

injury, install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the water system.  This valve 
will reduce point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch 
water lines.  A licensed plumbing professional or local plumbing authority should 
be consulted. 

 

Note:  This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to prevent 
overheating.  Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off 
the manual gas control valve to the appliance and call a qualified service 
technician. 

 

Note:  Whenever the water heater is filled with cold water, condensate will form 
on the cool tank surface and drops of water will fall on the hot burner and 
combustion chamber surfaces producing a “sizzling” noise.  Condensation is 
normal and does not indicate a leak.  It will disappear when the tank becomes 
heated.
