Instructions / Assembly

NOTICE: The threads for the connection of the burner
supply tube nut on LP combination gas controls are
left-handed.
Install the end of the pilot supply line into the combination
gas control. Hand thread the hex nut fitting on the pilot
supply line into the control. Ensure that the fitting is prop-
erly aligned with the control, otherwise cross threading of
the connection will occur. Tighten the fitting using a 7/16”
open-end wrench. See Figure 3.
Push the thermpile connector back into the combination gas
control. See Figure 3.
Locate the wire coming from the piezo generator and the
wire out of the burner access door. Push the wire connec-
tors together. See Figure 3.
7. CONNECTION OF THE MAIN GAS SUPPLY TO
THE COMBINATION GAS CONTROL:
Reconnect the main gas supply piping to the combination
gas control. Use pipe thread sealant certified for use with
Natural and LP Gas/Liquefied Petroleum Gases.
NOTICE: Compounds used on threaded joints of gas
piping shall be resistant to the action of Liquefied
Petroleum Gases.
8. REFILLING THE WATER HEATER:
Disconnect the garden hose from the water heater’s drain
valve. Close the drain valve and turn on the inlet water sup-
ply to the water heater. Open all hot water faucets to allow
all trapped air to escape. Let the water heater fill until a
steady stream of water is observed coming from all hot
water faucets then close all faucets.
9. TURN ON GAS TO THE WATER HEATER:
Turn on the main gas supply to the water heater. Check
for leaks on the inlet supply piping using a soap and water
solution.
NOTICE: If the soap and water solution bubbles up,
there is a leak and the inlet supply piping must be tight-
ened and checked again.
10. LIGHTING AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Follow the “FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE
OPERATING” and “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” on the
label above the combination gas control or in the Use and
Care Manual supplied with the water heater:
With the pilot and main burner in operation, use a soap and
water solution to check for gas leaks at the burner supply
and pilot tube connections.
NOTICE: If the soap and water solution bubbles up,
there is a leak and the fittings must be tightened and
checked again.
IMPORTANT: If the leak(s) cannot be eliminated, turn
off the gas supply to the water heater and contact the water
heater manufacturer at 1-866-279-4566.
11. TEMPERATURE SETTING:
DANGER: Hotter water increases the potential for
Hot Water SCALDS.
Turn the temperature dial to the desired setting. a tempera-
ture setting of 120° F (49°C) or less is recommended as a
usable water temperature.
The illustration in Figure 5 details the approximate water
temperature for each mark on the combination gas control/
thermostat knob.
