General Information continued-
This water heater has been manufactured for operation at altitudes from sea
level to 2000 feet (610m). For use of this appliance at an elevation greater
than 2000 feet (610m), contact the dealer or manufacturer listed on the rating
plate for information on any necessary modification. Uncorrected operation of
this appliance may create a hazard to life and property.
Make sure that you check the rating plate and combination gas control on the
water heater to be certain that the type of gas being supplied corresponds with
the marking on the rating plate and combination gas control.
A sacrificial anode(s) is used to extend tank life. Removal of any anode, for
any reason, except for inspection and/or replacement, will nullify the warranty.
In areas where water is unusually active, an odor may occur at the hot water
faucet due to a reaction between the sacrificial anode and impurities in the
water. If this should happen, an alternative anode(s) may be purchased from
the supplier that installed this water heater. This will minimize the odor while
protecting the tank. Additionally, the water heater should be flushed with
appropriate dissolvers to eliminate any bacteria.
