Maintenance continued-
5. Annually remove the inner door and main burner assembly to clean orifices
and related parts of any dirt or other foreign material. Inspect the burner
ports for obstructions or debris and clean with a wire brush as needed.
Wire brush and/or vacuum clean the combustion chamber as needed to
remove scale deposits and debris. NOTE: It is imperative for proper
operation of the water heater that the inner door be replaced in the original
location.
6. At least once a year, check the combination temperature and pressure
relief valve to ensure that the valve has not become encrusted with lime.
Lift the lever at the top of the valve several times until the valve seats
properly without leaking and operates freely.
7. Monthly drain off a gallon of water to remove silt and sediment.
8. If the combination temperature and pressure relief valve on the appliance
discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion in a closed
water supply system. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector
on how to correct this situation. DO NOT plug the combination
temperature and pressure relief valve outlet.
9. Combination sacrificial anode rods have been installed to extend tank life.
These anode rods should be inspected periodically (every 2 years) and
replaced when necessary to prolong tank life. Water conditions in your area
will influence the time interval for inspection and replacement of an anode
rod. Contact the plumbing professional who installed the water heater, or
the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for anode replacement
information. The use of a water softener may increase the speed of anode
consumption. More frequent inspection of the anodes is needed when
using softened (or phosphate treated) water.
10. The blower has sealed motor bearings and does NOT require adding oil.
WARNING
When lifting lever of the combination temperature and pressure
relief valve, hot water will be released under pressure. Be careful
that any released water does not result in bodily injury or property
damage.
WARNING
DO NOT ALLOW THE WATER HEATER TO RUN OUT OF PROPANE.
WARNING
THIS WATER MAY BE HOT.
