Maintenance continued-
When lifting lever of the combination temperature and pressure
relief valve, hot water will be released under pressure. Be careful
that any released water does not result in bodily injury or property
damage.
Do not run out of propane gas. Damage to the water heater may occur.
6. At least once a year, check the combination temperature and pressure relief
valve to insure that the valve has not become encrusted with lime. Lift the
lever at the top of the valve several times until the valve seats properly
without leaking and operates freely.
7. Monthly drain off a gallon of water to remove silt and sediment.
THIS WATER MAY BE HOT.
8. If the combination temperature and pressure relief valve on the appliance
discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion in a closed
water supply system. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector
on how to correct this situation. Do not plug the combination
temperature and pressure relief valve outlet.
9. A combination sacrificial anode rod/hot water outlet nipple has been
installed to extend tank life. The anode rod should be inspected periodically
(every 2 years) and replaced when necessary to prolong tank life. Water
conditions in your area will influence the time interval for inspection and
replacement of the anode rod. Contact the plumbing professional who
installed the water heater or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for
anode replacement information. The use of a water softener may increase
the speed of anode consumption. More frequent inspection of the anode is
needed when using softened (or phosphate treated) water.
10. The blower has sealed motor bearings and does not require adding oil.
