INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LocationThis water heater should be located as close as possible to a chimney and to the main use of hotwater. This location must not be subject to freezingtemperatures. The water heater should be positioned, so that there is easy access to the oilburner, controls and drain valve. It must be locatedclose to a suitable free-flowing floor drain. Where afloor drain is not adjacent to the water heater, a suitable drain pan must be installed under the waterheater (see Figure 10). This drain pan should be atleast four (4) inches (10.2 cm) larger than the diameter of the water heater, and at least one (1)inch (2.5 cm) deep, providing access to the drainvalve. This pan must not restrict the flow of ventilation and combustion air. This pan must bepiped to a suitable drain to prevent damage to property in the event of a water leak from the piping,the relief valve or the water heater.
Based on national building codes, the manufac-turer has given the necessary instructions to pre-vent damage to the building. Under no circum-stances is the manufacturer to be held liable forany water damage in connection with this waterheater.
This water heater can be installed in a storage orresidential garage if it is installed at least 18 inches(460 mm) above floor level and protected againstphysical damage.
This water heater is NOT approved for installationon a combustible floor.
Minimum ClearancesThe minimum clearances from combustible materialfor this water heater are: Two (2) inches (5.1 cm)from the sides and rear, twenty-four (24) inches
(61.0 cm) from the front, eighteen (18) inches (45.7cm) from the top, and nine (9) inches (22.9 cm) fromthe vent pipe (eighteen (18) inches (45.7 cm) forwater heaters installed in the United States) (seeFigure 1).
Combustion and Ventilation Air SupplyIn order for the water heater to operate properly, itmust be supplied with an uninterrupted flow of cleancombustion and ventilation air. The area around thewater heater must always be kept clean and clear ofdebris. An inadequate supply of air to the water heaterwill produce a bright yellow burner flame causing soot-ing in the combustion chamber, on the burner, and inthe flue tube. This can result in damage to the waterheater and personal injury, if not corrected.
Combustion and ventilation air requirements aredetermined by where the water heater is located.Water heaters are installed in either open (uncon-fined) spaces or smaller (confined) spaces, such asclosets or small rooms.
IMPORTANT These instructions have been written as a guide for the proper installation and operation of your water heater andthe manufacturer of this water heater will not accept any liability where these instructions have not been followed.However, for your safety and to avoid damage caused by improper installation, this water heater must be installedby a Certified Licensed Professional and meet all local codes or, in the absence of such codes, the latest edition ofCAN/CSA B139, Installation for Oil Burning Equipment, in Canada, and/or the latest edition of Standard for theInstallation of Oil Burning Equipment, NFPA 31, in the United States. For Mobile Home installation in Canada, all rel-evant Clauses of “CAN/CSA Z240MH – Manufactured Homes” must be followed.All models are CSA listed for use withNo.1 (stove) and No. 2 (furnace oil).
Before proceeding with the installation instructions:1) Inspect the water heater and its component parts for possible damage. Do not install or attempt to repair any damaged
component parts. If you detect any damage, contact the dealer where the water heater was purchased or the manufacturerlisted on the warranty card.
2) Verify that the type of oil being supplied corresponds to what is marked on the rating plate of the water heater. DO NOTinstall if the water heater or parts of the water heater have been damaged.
WARNING
Requirements for Unconfined SpacesWater heaters installed in unconfined spaces do notusually require outdoor air to function properly.However, if the water heater is located in an uncon-fined space in a building having insufficient infiltration, air for combustion and additional ventilationshould be obtained from the outdoors or from spacesfreely communicating with the outdoors (see Figure2). Under these conditions, a permanent opening tothe outdoors should be provided so that the total airreceived through this opening will be at least as muchas would be admitted by openings having a total free-flow area of one (1) square inch per 5,000 BTU/h (4.4cm2/kWh) of the total input rating of all oil-fired appli-ances.
Requirements for Confined Spaces (IndoorCombustion and Ventilation Air)A water heater that is located in a confined space andobtains all of its air for combustion and ventilation fromwithin the conditioned space of the building should be
provided with two permanent openings, one near thetop of the enclosure and another one near the bottom (see Figure 3). Each opening should have a free-flowarea of not less than one (1) square inch per 1,000BTU/h (22 cm2/kWh) of the total input rating of all oil-fired appliances in the enclosure, freely communi-cating with interior areas that have in turn adequate infiltration from the outdoors.
Requirements for Confined Spaces (OutdoorCombustion and Indoor Ventilation Air)A water heater that is located in a confined space andthat obtains its combustion air from outdoors and ventilation air from within the conditioned space of the building should be provided with two permanentopenings, one near the top of the enclosure andanother one near the bottom (see Figures 4 and 5).Each opening should have a free-flow area of not lessthan one (1) square inch per 1,000 BTU/h (22cm2/kWh) of the total input rating of all oil-fired appli-ances in the enclosure, freely communicating withinterior areas that have in turn adequate infiltrationfrom the outdoors. A combustion air supply openingto the outdoors should be provided so that the total airreceived through the opening will be at least as muchas would be admitted by openings having a total free-flow area of one (1) square inch per 5,000 BTU/h (4.4cm2/kWh) of the total input rating of all oil-fired appli-ances in the enclosure.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSLouvers and GrillesIn calculating free area for ventilation and combus-tion air supply openings, consideration must begiven to the blocking effect of louvers, grilles orscreens protecting the openings. Screens must notbe smaller than 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) mesh. If the freearea through a particular design of louver or grille isknown, it should be used in calculating the size ofopening required to provide the free area specified.If the design and free area is not known, it may beassumed that wood louvers and grilles will allow 20-25% free area and metal louvers and grilles will allow60-75% free area. Louvers and grilles must beinstalled in the open position or interconnected withthe water heater so that they are opened automati-cally during water heater operation.
Corrosive Atmospheres If this water heater is to be installed in a beauty shop,barber shop, photo processing lab, dry cleaningestablishment, a building with an indoor pool or neara chemical storage area, it is imperative that thecombustion and ventilation air be drawn from outsidethese areas. These particular environments containproducts such as aerosol sprays, detergents, bleach-es, cleaning solvents, refrigerants, and other volatilecompounds that, in addition to being highly flamma-ble, become highly corrosive acid compounds whenburned. Exposure to such compounds can be hazardous and lead to premature product failure.Should the water heater fail, due to exposure tosuch a corrosive atmosphere, the warranty isvoid.
Venting
When installing the venting system, make sure tofollow all local codes or, in the absence of suchcodes, the latest edition of the CAN/CSA B139,Installation for Oil Burning Equipment, in Canada,and/or the latest edition of Standard for theInstallation of Oil Burning Equipment, NFPA 31, inthe United States. Never operate the water heaterunless it is properly ventilated to the outdoors andhas adequate air supply for proper operation. Failureto properly install the venting system could result inproperty damage, personal injury or death.
Chimney RequirementsIf this water heater is operated with a burner designedfor natural draft venting, it must be connected to a ver-tical chimney. The chimney must be properly con-structed and sized, clean and free of soot, creosote and obstructions, able to generate sufficient
draft to evacuate the products of combustion outdoors and be lined with a tile or metal liner. Inspectthe chimney and make any repairs necessary beforeinstalling the water heater.
To prevent downdrafts, the chimney flue shouldextend at least three (3) feet (1 m) above the highestpoint at which the chimney comes in contact with the roof and not less than two (2) feet (0.6 m) abovethe highest roof surface or structure within ten (10) feet (3 m) of the chimney on a horizontal planeperpendicular to the chimney. Not more than four (4) inches (100 mm) of chimney flue above the top ofthe chimney cap should be considered in computingthis height (see Figure 8). Increase the cross-sectionalarea and height of the chimney at least 4% per 1,000feet (305 m) above sea level.
Failure to properly inspect and repair the chimneycould result in property damage, personal injury ordeath.
Flue PipingBefore installing the flue piping, make sure that theventing system layout has been properly planned.Make sure that the flue baffle has been installed in theflue tube. If the baffle is not present, immediately con-tact the dealer where the water heater was purchased.NEVER operate the water heater without the flue baf-fle installed. Verify that the location of the water heaterand the venting system respects all clearances fromcombustible materials (see Figure 1).
The length of flue pipe to vent this water heater shouldbe as short as possible with horizontal runs slopingupward towards the chimney at a rate of at least one-quarter (1/4) inch per foot (21 mm/m). Long hori-zontal runs of flue pipe, sharp turns and other con-struction features that could create excessive resist-ance to the flow of flue gas should be avoided. Theflue pipe must not be smaller in cross sectional areathat the flue collar on the water heater. The flue pipemust not pass through any floor or ceiling, but may pass through a wall where suitable fire protection provisions have been installed. The flue pipe shouldconnect to the chimney such that it extends into, andterminates flush with, the inside surface of the chimney liner. The joint between the flue pipe and thechimney liner should be sealed and all unused chimney opening should be closed.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Draft Regulator (Barometric Damper Control) This device is used for conventional chimney ventingonly. It automatically maintains a constant negativepressure in the chimney to obtain maximum efficiency. It ensures that proper pressures are notexceeded. If the chimney does not develop sufficientdraft, the draft control cannot function properly.When installed, the draft regulator should be locatedin the same room or enclosure as the water heaterand not interfere with the supply of combustion air tothe oil burner.
The water heater must be connected to a fluehaving sufficient draft at all times to ensure safeand proper operation of the appliance. The flueoutlet pressure (measured between the waterheater and draft regulator) should be set to -0.02inches w.c. Failure to provide sufficient draft forthis water heater could result in property damage,personal injury or death.
Flue Collar/Blocked Vent Switch Assembly(Installation and Operation)This water heater has been shipped from the factorywith a flue collar/blocked vent switch assembly. Thisswitch is designed to detect flue gas spillage due to a blocked flue, continuous down drafting or inadequate draft condition.
All wiring must be installed by a qualified installerin accordance with all local codes or, in theabsence of such codes, the latest edition of theCSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, inCanada, and/or the latest edition of the NationalElectrical Code, NFPA 70, in the United States.Before installing the switch, remember to DIS-CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY to the waterheater. Failure to follow these instructions can resultin property damage, personal injury or death.
Installation:1) Install the pre-assembled flue collar/blocked vent
switch assembly over the flue outlet on the waterheater (see Figure 9).
2) Wire the switch to the aquastat on the waterheater (see wiring diagram in Figure 11).
3) Install the vent pipe onto the flue collar andsecure it using sheet metal screws (not supplied).
Operation:With the switch wired to the aquastat circuit, it will shut down the burner once it senses the spillage ofhot flue gas. The switch will not allow the burner torestart until it has been manually reset. In order tomanually reset the switch:
1) Wait for the vent pipe to cool down.
2) Insert the end of a pencil or square head screwdriver into the opening for the reset (see Figure 9)and depress the red reset button.
Optional Sidewall Venting (Power Vent)This water heater is approved in Canada for use withthe Tjerlund SS1C side shot power venter and in theUnited States with the Tjerlund SS1 side shot powerventer. This power vent kit is available through majorHVAC supply companies. Technical support isoffered by Tjerlund, not by the manufacturer of thiswater heater.
When the installation is complete, visually inspectthe venting system to make sure that all joints areproperly connected and all instructions have beenfollowed. Failure to properly install the venting system could result in property damage, personalinjury or death.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSTemperature and Pressure-Relief Valve
DO NOT plug the temperature and pressure-relief valve or its discharge line. DO NOT removethe relief valve. Make sure the relief valve is prop-erly sized for the water heater. If the relief valvecontinuously discharges water, call a qualifiedservice technician to correct the problem. Failureto follow these instructions can result in propertydamage, personal injury or death.
To protect from excessive pressure and/or temperature,the manufacturer has installed a temperature andpressure-relief valve that meetswith the requirementsof the Standard for Relief Valves and Automatic GasShut-Off Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, CSA4.4, in Canada, and ANSI Z21.22, in the UnitedStates. This relief valve has a maximum set pressurethat does not exceed the hydrostatic working pressureof the water heater (150 psi = 1,035 kPa) and a BTU/hrating equal to or greater than the input rating, asshown on the water heater rating plate. It should neverbe plugged or removed from the opening marked for iton the water heater.
If this relief valve should needs to be replaced, useonly a new temperature and pressure-relief valve.Never install an old or existing relief valve, as it may be damaged or inadequate for the workingrequirements of the new water heater. This new reliefvalve must meet with all local codes or, at a minimum, the requirements listed above. Neverinstall any other type of valves between the reliefvalve and the water heater.
A discharge line must be installed into the reliefvalve.
The discharge line:• Must not be smaller than the outlet pipe size of
the relief valve.• Must not terminate less than six (6) inches (15.2
cm) and not more than twelve (12) inches (30.5cm) above a floor drain.
• Must not be restricted in any way. Do not thread,cap or in any way restrict the end of this outlet.
• Must be of a material capable of withstanding210˚F (99˚C) without distortion.
• Must be installed to allow complete drainage ofthe relief valve and discharge line.
• Must terminate at an adequate free-flowing drain.
Pressure Build-up in a Water System When the water heater operates, the heated waterexpands creating a pressure build-up. This is a
natural function and is one of the reasons forinstalling a temperature and pressure-relief valve. Ifthe cold water supply line has a built-in water meter,check valve or pressure-reducing valve, a suitableexpansion tank must be installed to prevent pressurebuild-up or water hammer effect. Otherwise, the warranty will be void (see Figure 10). An indicationof pressure build-up is frequent discharges of waterfrom the relief valve. If the relief valve dischargeswater on a continual basis, it may indicate a malfunction of the relief valve and a qualified servicetechnician must be called to have the systemchecked and the problem corrected.
Filling the Water Heater
NEVER operate the water heater unless it iscompletely filled with water. Failure to follow thisinstruction can result in premature failure of thewater heater that is not covered by the warranty.
Check that all of the water piping connections havebeen made. To fill the water heater:
1) Make sure that the water heater drain valve isclosed by inserting a flat head screwdriver into theslot on the head of the drain valve and turning theknob clockwise .
2) Open the cold water supply manual shut-off valve.This valve must remain open, as long as the waterheater is in use. Never operate the water heaterwith the cold water supply manual shut-off valveclosed.
3) To make sure the water heater is completely filledwith water, open hot water faucets to let the air outof the water heater and plumbing system. Leavethe faucets open until a constant flow of water isobtained.
4) Check all of the plumbing connections to makesure there are no leaks.
Oil SupplyThe entire fuel system should be installed in accor-dance with all local codes or, in the absence of suchcodes, the latest edition of the CAN/CSA B139,Installation for Oil Burning Equipment, in Canada,and/or the latest edition of the Installation of OilBurning Equipment, NFPA 31, in the United States.Use only approved fuel oil tanks, piping, fittings, oilfilters and any other fuel handling components.Install the oil filter as close to the burner as possible.For further details of the oil supply tank and pipingrequirements, please refer to the instructions and

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSillustrations that come with the burner. If the waterheater is installed using a float valve between the oilsupply tank and the burner, and the supply tank isover nine (9)-gallon capacity, a valve operated by afusible link shall be installed in the fuel line adjacentto and upstream from the float valve.
Oil Burner Installation
The installation of the oil burner must be per-formed by a qualified Oil Burner Technician.Before installing the oil burner, check the align-ment between the burner and the combustionchamber. It is possible for the combustion cham-ber to shift if it is subjected to rough handling dur-ing transit. The end cone of the air tube must becentered to the accommodating passage providedin the design of the combustion chamber. Adjustas necessary. Failure to follow these instructionscan result in property damage, personal injury ordeath.
The installation of the oil burner must be in accor-dance with all local codes or, in the absence of suchcodes, the latest edition of the CAN/CSA B139,Installation for Oil Burning Equipment, in Canada,and/or the latest edition of the standard for Installationof Oil Burning Equipment, NFPA 31 in the UnitedStates.
Oil FilterAll fuel systems should include an oil filter betweenthe fuel oil storage tank and the oil burner. Whenusing an oil burner nozzle smaller than 0.75, installan additional 10 micron or better filter as close aspossible to the oil burner.
Oil Burner NozzlesThe OG32 water heater is certified for multiple firingrates, ranging from 82,000 to 103,000 BTU/h. The
OG50 models are certified for multiple firing rates,ranging from 97,000 to input 117,000 BTU/h. Referto the water heater rating plate or Table 1 to deter-mine the proper burner settings.
Wiring
This water heater uses an external electricalsource for power. It must be electrically groundedin accordance with all local codes or, in theabsence of such codes, the latest edition of theCSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, in Canada,and/or the latest edition of the National ElectricalCode, NFPA 70, in the United States. Failure toproperly ground this water heater can result inproperty damage, personal injury or death.
This water heater is factory wired and requires mini-mal field wiring. The water heater should be wired toa separate and dedicated circuit in the main electri-cal panel. Although a suitably located circuit breakercan be used as a service switch, a separate serviceswitch is advisable. The service switch is necessaryif reaching the circuit breaker involves becomingclose to the water heater or if the water heater islocated between the circuit breaker and the meansof entry to the furnace room. The water heater switch(service switch) should be clearly marked, installedin an easily accessible area between the waterheater and furnace room entry, and be located in sucha manner to reduce the likelihood that it would be mis-taken as a light switch or similar device (see Figure 10).The power requirement is 120VAC, 60Hz.
Before lighting your water heater, check that all of the wires have been installed correctly (seeFigure 11). Make sure that none of the wires aregrounded, have split, or are broken. Verify that allwiring connections are properly secured, as there is a possibility that they have become loose during

When using a water heater for combination spaceand potable water heating, the instructions providedin this manual and with the air-handling unit must berespected and, in particular, the following:
1) All piping and components that are used in thesystem must be of a nonferrous type suitable for
potable water. This also applies to any sealantused.
2) When used as a dual purpose water heater, itmust not be connected to any system that has been previously used for non-potable waterheating. This includes any piping because, in allprobability, existing piping would have been, inthe past, treated with chemicals for cleaning orsealing the system.
3) If this water heater is to be used for space heating, make sure that all safety codes arerespected. Pay special attention to safety valvepressure and expansion tanks.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS4) Do not use toxic chemicals to clean the potable
water heating system.
5) Where water temperature in excess of 140˚F(60˚C) is required for a space heating application,a mixing valve must be installed in the potableside of the system. This will temper the water andreduce the risk of scalding.
6) If the incoming water line to the heater isequipped with a check valve, water meter orpressure-reducing valve, an expansion tank mustbe installed in the system. This will prevent weeping from the water heater relief valve andpremature failure of the heater due to expansionof the water during the heating cycle.
7) Before acquisition of a water heater for spaceheating application, it is necessary to have thearea of intended use sized by a qualified technician. This will ensure that an adequatewater heating capacity will be available for bothheating and potable water supply, and that theapplication will meet with all local codes and pub-lic utility requirements.
Note: It is good practice to oversize the water heater,to ensure that all of the potential hot water require-ments are available.

Lighting the Water HeaterBefore lighting or re-lighting yourwater heater, make sure that youhave read and understood all of theinstructions and warnings in thismanual and on your water heater. If
you have any questions about lighting your waterheater, immediately contact a qualified installer, serv-ice agency or the oil supplier.
Do not light this water heater if:• It is not full of water.• Excess oil has accumulated.• The combustion chamber is hot.• Gasoline or other flammable vapours and
liquids have been stored in the vicinity of the water heater.
Failure to follow these instructions can result inproperty damage, personal injury or death.
Lighting the BurnerSet the aquastat slightly above the tank’s water tem-perature. The burner should start. It may be necessary to press the reset button on the primarycombustion control relay. After a short period of time,the water should reach the temperature setting onthe aquastat and the oil burner should stop. Adjustthe aquastat setting to the desired water tempera-ture. The water heater should be operated for a mini-mum of 10 to 15 minutes to reach steady state con-ditions before fine tuning combustion. The warm uptime is ideal for testing the oil pump pressure.
Water Temperature Regulation
The higher the setting, the greater the risk of scald-ing. Hot water can cause third degree burns inunder one (1) second at 160˚F (71˚C), in five (5)seconds at 140˚F (60˚C) and in thirty (30) secondsat 130˚F (54˚C). In households where there arechildren, physically challenged individuals or elderlypersons, mixing valves for point of use are neces-sary as means of reducing the scalding potential ofhot water.
Once installed, the operation of this water heater willbe completely automatic. The aquastat on the waterheater is adjustable and will maintain the water at thedesired temperature. Contact a qualified servicetechnician for adjustment. Set the aquastat as low aspossible to provide an adequate supply of hot water.
This will conserve oil and extend the life of the waterheater.
When hot water is drawn from the tank in frequentshort bursts, a condition known as “stacking” is created. “Stacking” is the result of increased cyclingof the burner and can produce very hot water temperatures at the hot water outlet. Always remem-ber to check the hot water coming out of any faucetwith your hand before use. This will reduce the risk ofscalding-related injury.

GENERAL MAINTENANCEHousekeeping
DO NOT store or use gasoline or any other flam-mable vapours or liquids around the water heater.DO NOT put or store any objects on the top of thewater heater. Failure to follow these instructionscan result in property damage, personal injury ordeath.
Annual Service by a ContractorThe combustion chamber is fragile. Use care wheninspecting and cleaning this area. The heat exchang-er flue passage and baffle should be inspected peri-odically and cleaned if necessary. A wire brush canbe used to loosen dirt and debris on the inside sur-face of the flue passage and baffle. Clean out allaccumulated dirt and soot with an industrial vacuumcleaner, paying close attention to the combustionchamber area.
Routine Maintenance by the Home OwnerKeep the area around the water heater clean andfree of dust, lint and dirt. Make sure that all of theminimum clearances to combustible materials arebeing maintained. On a regular basis, you shouldinspect the general conditions of the water heater,watching for signs of oil leaks in the vicinity of the oilburner and soot forming on any external part of thewater heater or joints of the vent pipes, etc. If any ofthese conditions are present, please advise yourservice or installation contractor. The water heatershould be serviced on an annual basis by a qualifiedservice technician.
Oil Burner Air adjustmentAt the time of installation, and at least at each annualcleaning or inspection, a test for smoke density andcarbon monoxyde (CO) must be performed. Drill atest port in the venting between the water heater flueoutlet and the draft regulator (barometric damper). Itis essential for the proper operation of the waterheater that this adjustment is performed with the useof combustion instruments, as a visual inspection isnot sufficient. Oil-fired water heaters tend to run withshorter operating cycles and it is therefore importantfor the burner to be adjusted to provide a good flame.A lack of air causes “sooty” or “soft” flames, resultingin soot build-up throughout the heat exchanger pas-sages. Excess combustion air causes a bright roar-ing fire and high stack temperatures resulting in poorfuel efficiency.
After the burner has been firing for 10-15 minutes,take a smoke sample with a Bacharach smoke
sampler or other approved device. Then, take a sam-ple of the flue gases and test for CO using a combus-tion analyser. The smoke spot should not exceed“Trace” on the Bacharach Scale. The water heateroperates most efficiently with a “Trace” smoke spot.For complete details on adjusting the air, please con-sult the oil burner instruction manual provided with the burner.
Burner electrodeCorrect positioning of the electrode tips with respectto each other, to the fuel oil nozzle and to the rest ofthe burners is essential for smooth light ups andproper operation. Refer to the oil burner instructionsshipped with the burner for electrode specifications.
Burner primary (safety) controlThe oil burner is equipped with a primary combus-tion control, sometimes referred to as the burnerrelay or burner protector relay, which uses a lightsensing device (cad cell) located in the burner housing, to monitor and control combustion. Overtime, dust or combustion residuals can build up onthe lens of the cad cell impairing its response to the flame. The cad cell should be checked for cleanliness and proper alignment if the primary control frequently shuts down combustion.
Shutting Down the Water Heater
Always keep the oil supply manual shut-off valve-closed if the burner is shut down for an extendedperiod of time
Set the aquastat to the lowest possible setting.Turn off all of the electrical power to the water heater.
CondensationAs moisture from the products of combustion comesinto contact with the cold surface of the inner tank, itmay condense. This situation will usually occur:
1) When the water heater is filled with cold water forthe first time.
2) If the water heater has been undersized.3) When large amounts of hot water are drawn from
the water heater in a short period of time and therefill water is very cold.
Due to the high-efficiency rating of this oil-fired waterheater, it may produce more condensation than oldermodels. This condition is not uncommon and mustnever be misinterpreted as a leaking tank. It will disappear once the water becomes heated.
WARNING
WARNING
Because of the large amounts of water that can condense, it is very important that a drain pan beinstalled under the water heater (refer to Figure 10).Under no circumstances is the manufacturer to beheld liable for any water damage in connection withthis water heater. If the problem persists and watercontinues to drip after the water heater has heatedup, check all of the plumbing connections to makesure they are not leaking.
Water Heater TankDrain a pail of water through the drain valve at leastonce a year. This will remove excess sediment fromthe bottom of the tank. If allowed to accumulate, thissediment will reduce the efficiency and the life of thetank.
Temperature and Pressure-Relief ValveManually operate the temperature and pressure-relief valve at least once a year, standing clear of theoutlet to avoid being burned. Lift and release theoperating lever on the valve to make it operate freely.If, after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset itself and continues to dischargewater, replace it with a new one.
Venting System InspectionThe venting system must be thoroughly inspectedonce a year. Check the area where the water heateris located to make sure that there is enough cleancombustion and ventilation air. Remove any possibleobstructions that would prevent proper air circulationand venting. Check the venting system to make surethat all of the connections are securely fastened andthat all of the joints are properly sealed. If any part ofthe venting system is damaged, it must be replacedby a qualified service technician.
AnodeThis water heater is equipped with dual anode rodsthat are designed to prolong the life of the glass-lined tank. The anodes are slowly consumed,protecting the glass-lined tank from corrosion. Theanodes should be checked every two (2) years. Ifmore than half of either anode has been consumed,it should be replaced. Instructions on how to changethe anodes can be obtained from the manufacturer.
The life expectancy of the water heater is reducedwhere a water softener is introduced to fight hardwater, because the sodium salts added by a softener make this water extremely conductive. Inthese conditions, the anodes are consumed morerapidly and should be verified every year. In certainwater conditions, the anodes will react with the
water, producing discoloured or smelly water. Themost common complaint is hot water that smells likerotten eggs. This phenomenon is the result of thereaction between the anode and hydrogen sulfidegas dissolved in the water, which occurs frequentlyin well systems. This problem can usually be eliminated or reduced by changing the anodes to atype more suitable for these conditions (aluminumanode) and by chlorinating the water heater andplumbing system. If the problem persists, special filtration equipment may be required. Under no circumstances should the anodes be removed fromthe water heater on a permanent basis. Removal ofthe anodes will lead to premature failure of thewater heater and void the warranty.
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two [2] weeks or more). HYDRO-GEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. It ishighly recommended to open the hot water faucetin the kitchen for several minutes before you useany electrical appliances connected to the hotwater system, such as a dishwasher or washing machine. If hydrogen gas is present, therewill be an unusual sound, such as air escapingthrough the pipe, as the hot water faucet isopened. Do not smoke or introduce an open flamenear the faucet when it is opened.
Draining the Water Heater To completely drain the water heater:1) Turn off the power to the water heater.
2) Close the oil supply manual shut-off valve.
3) Close the cold water supply manual shut-offvalve.
4) Connect one end of a garden hose to the waterheater drain valve and put the other next to afree-flowing drain.
6) Open the drain valve by inserting a flat headscrewdriver into the slot on the head of the drainvalve and turning the knob counterclockwise
.
7) Open a hot water faucet to allow air into the system.
