Installation / Operation Instruction Manual

General Information continued-

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, 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.

INSTALLATION
