and sodium chloride (water softener salt), waxes, and process
chemicals are typical compounds which are potentially corrosive.
Do not store products of this sort near the heater. Also, air which
is brought in contact with the heater should no contain any of
these chemicals. If necessary, uncontaminated air should be
obtained from remote or outside sources. The limited warranty
is voided when failure of water heater is due to a corrosive
atmosphere. (Refer to the limited warranty for complete terms
and conditions).

OPERATION OF THESE FANS CAN PRODUCE A NEGATIVE
DRAFT IN THE AREA OF THE WATER HEATER PREVENTING
THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION FROM EXHAUSTING
THROUGH THE CHIMNEY OR VENT PIPE.
The venting of the water heater should be inspected by a qualified
service technician at the time of installation and periodically
thereafter to ensure a down-draft condition does not exist.
DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION AIR, ADEQUATE AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION MUST BE PROVIDED FOR SAFE OPERATION.

it is recommended that a hot water faucet be opened for several
minutes before using any electrical appliance connected to the
hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will probably be
an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the
water begins to flow. There should be not smoking or open
flame near the faucet at the time it is open.

HiGH ALTiTUDE iNSTALLATiONS
Your State water heater has been designed to operate at altitudes
below 2000 Ft. (609.6 m), for appliance installation locations with
elevations above 2000 Ft. (609.6 m), special considerations need
to be taken. Adjustments for high altitude can only be made by a
State authorized GPG/GPV Start-up Agent. To ensure your water
heater operates properly at high elevation, a State authorized
GPG/GPV Start-up Agent will readjust the air-intake damper setting
and the gas manifold pressure (if required).
NOTE: Some gas utility companies derate the heating value
of the supplied gas at high elevation. Your authorized start-up
agent must adjust for actual heating value of the gas at the
time of start up.
FEATUrES
LOw EMiSSiON CONTrOL
Your State water heater has been designed to comply with
standards established by California South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD), the most stringent emissions
control agency in the nation. To ensure compliance with SCAQMD
Rule 1146.2, your heater is equipped with an internal recirculation
premix power burner, and must be started/adjusted by a
State Authorized GPG/GPV Start-Up Agent.

The dual bulb controller also contains the high limit (energy cutoff)
sensor. The high limit switch interrupts main burner gas flow
should the water temperature reach 205°F (96°C).
In the event of high limit switch operation, the appliance cannot be
restarted unless the water temperature is reduced by 20°F (11°C)
approx. and the high limit reset button on front of limit control is
depressed, see Figure 1.
