Use and Care Manual
Install a new gasket on the back of the Burner Access Door
by removing the pull away tabs on the gasket and sticking
the new gasket to the back of the Burner Access Door,
aligning the holes in the gasket with the holes on the Burner
Access Door for the T20 Torx head screws.
9. INSPECT THERMOCOUPLE:
Do not bend the thermocouple within 1” of tip when installing, as this
may damage the thermocouple. See
Figure 3.
Make sure there are no sharp bends in
the thermocouple and that there is at
least a 1” section of straight
thermocouple coming from the brack-
et.
Direct all connections to the burner
assembly away from and below the
flame of the burner.
10. INSTALL THE BURNER ACCESS DOOR:
Insert the burner access door assembly back into the burner
chamber and reassemble in the reverse order of removal.
Make sure the gasket is fully seated.
Make sure the speed clips are tight in place upon reinstallation
of the door. Extra speed clips are provided in the event some
are lost or damaged in the removal of the burner access door.
When connecting the pilot supply tube, make sure it is
seated into the valve straight to help prevent crossthreading
of the connection and an improper alignment with the gas
valve. Use a wrench to snug the connection to the valve to
prevent gas leakage. Make sure there are no sharp bends in the
pilot supply tube and that there is at least a 1” section of straight
pilot supply tube coming from the bracket.
When connecting the burner supply tube, make sure the
connection is not cross threaded.
When connecting the thermocouple, make sure it is inserted
into the valve straight to prevent damage to the thermocouple.
The thermocouple should be no more than one quarter (1/4)
turn beyond hand tight. Make sure there are no sharp bends
in the thermocouple and that there is at least a 1” section of
straight thermocouple where the bracket ends.
When connecting the piezo ignitor wire to the bottom of the
piezo ignitor striker, make sure to pull all excess wire to the
outside of the burner chamber to prevent unnecessary exposure
to burner flame.
Tighten the T20 Torx head screws to no more than 15 inch
pounds of torque using the TORX head tool, DO NOT over
tighten. DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS.
!
WARNING: Failure to properly install the burner access
door could result in a potentially hazardous situation that
could result in death or serious injury and/or property
damage.
11. GAS SUPPLY:
Turn the gas supply on at the main gas line, turn the gas
cock knob “counterclockwise” to the pilot position and
relight the pilot per the lighting instructions located on the
heater and in the Use & Care Manual.
12.. THERMOCOUPLE OPERATION
Check that the pilot is lit and the thermocouple is enveloped
3/8” to 1/2” by the pilot flame by looking through the sight
glass located on the door.
Turn the gas cock knob to the “ON” position.
13. MAIN BURNER OPERATION:
Check the operation of the burner through the sight glass
located on the burner access door.
14. CHECK FOR LEAKS:
Check the burner supply tube and pilot supply tube at the
gas control valve for gas leaks with a soap and water
solution.
The appearance of bubbles indicate a leak.
Tighten all connections if a leak is found and check once
again with solution.
15. TEMPERATURE SETTING:
!
DANGER: Hotter water increases the potential for
Hot Water SCALDS.
Turn the temperature dial to the desired setting. The recommended
starting point temperature is 120°F.
The illustration above details the approximate water temperature for
each mark on the Gas Control (Thermostat) temperature Dial.
16. REPLACE JACKET DOOR:
Replace the jacket door by inserting one end of the door
behind the jacket edge then insert the opposite end of the
door behind the jacket edge and release the door.
