General Operation continued-
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within 5
seconds at a temperature setting of 140°F (60°C). To protect against hot water
injury, install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the water system. This valve
will reduce point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in
branch water lines. A licensed plumbing professional or local plumbing
authority should be consulted.
Note: This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to prevent
overheating. Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn
off the manual gas control valve to the appliance and call a qualified service
technician.
Note: Whenever the water heater is filled with cold water, condensate will
form on the cool tank surface and drops of water will fall on the hot burner and
combustion chamber surfaces producing a “sizzling” noise. Condensation is
normal and does not indicate a leak. It will disappear when the tank becomes
heated.
BURNER FLAME CHECKS
Steel Burner: These models are equipped with self adjusting air mixture and
do not have an adjustable air shutter (See Figure 6). At periodic intervals, a
visual check of the main burner and pilot flames should be made to determine
if they are burning properly. The main burner flame should light smoothly
from the pilot.
Do not run out of propane gas. Damage to the water heater may occur.
