Leveling The Water Heater - Smith XWH 150 Instruction Manual

8. After installation is complete, attach the propane
conversion label (in the conversion kit bag) next to
the water heater rating plate. Attach the Propane (LP)
caution label (in the conversion kit bag) to the left side of
the unit in the lower left corner.
9. Replace the top and front access covers.
After converting to Propane (LP), check combustion per the
Start Up section on Page 50 of this manual. Failure to check and
verify combustion could result in severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
For XWH 400: Inspect the O-ring when the blower is
disassembled. The O-ring must be in good condition and must
be installed. Failure to comply will cause a gas leak, resulting in
severe personal injury or death.

required for removal).
2. Turn the adjustment screw on the gas valve clockwise
until it stops. Then
counterclockwise four and three quarter (4-3/4) turns
(see Figure below).
3. Use a combustion analyzer to verify CO2 is within
the range of 9.6 – 10.5%. If not, adjust the screw
counterclockwise incrementally to raise CO2 and
clockwise to lower CO2 (see Figure below).
4. After adjustment is complete, attach the propane
conversion label (in the conversion kit bag) next to
the water heater rating plate. Attach the Propane (LP)
caution label (in the conversion kit bag) to the left side of
the unit in the lower left corner.
5. Replace the top access cover.
