SECTION VIII:  OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 
 
 
WARNING
 
Water heaters are heat-producing appliances.  To avoid damage or injury there must be no materials 
stored against the water heater or near the front vent outlet, and proper care must be taken to avoid 
unnecessary contact (especially by children) with the water heater and front vent outlet.  UNDER NO 
CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, SUCH AS GASOLINE OR PAINT THINNER 
BE USED OR STORED IN THE VICINITY OF THIS WATER HEATER OR IN ANY LOCATION FROM 
WHICH FUMES COULD REACH THE WATER HEATER. 
Installation or service of this water heater requires ability equivalent to that of a licensed tradesman in the 
field involved.  Plumbing, air supply, venting, gas supply and electrical work are required. 
Light the unit in accordance with the operating instructions label attached to the water heater. 
Under no circumstances should the input rate exceed the input rate shown on the water heater rating 
plate.  Over firing could result in damage or sooting of the water heater. 
If the unit is exposed to the following, do not operate water heater until all corrective steps have been 
made by a factory authorized independent service contractor or qualified service professional.   
1.  Flooding to or above the level of the burner or controls 
2. External 
firing 
3. Damage 
4. Firing 
without 
water 
5. Sooting 
NEVER OPERATE THE WATER HEATER WITHOUT FIRST BEING CERTAIN IT IS FILLED WITH 
WATER AND A PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE IS INSTALLED IN THE HOT WATER OUTLET PIPING OF 
THE WATER HEATER. 
 
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 
 
TO FILL THE WATER HEATER 
 
1.  Close the water heater drain valve by turning the knob or valve stem clockwise.   
 
2.  Open the cold water supply shut-off valve. 
 
3.  Open several hot water faucets to allow air to escape from the system. 
 
4.  When a steady stream of water flows from the faucets, the water heater is filled.  Close the 
faucets and check for water leaks at the water heater drain valve, pressure relief valve and the 
hot and cold water connections. 
 
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION 
 
1.  The water heater senses the minimum operating water flow which starts the ignition sequence to 
light the burners. 
 
2. Blower

3.  Pressure switch proves blower operation. 
 
4.  Gas valve opens and spark igniter starts. 
 
5.  Main burner ON. 
 
6. Flame 
signal 
confirmed. 
 
7.  Burner flame and combustion blower modulates to maintain selected outlet temperature. 
 
8.  Water flow is also regulated to not exceed the capacity of the water heater for the temperature 
selected.  
 
9.  Water flow shuts off. 
 
10. Burners shut off immediately, but combustion blower continues for another 65 seconds to purge
