110 Volt
Warning
: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water
system served by this heater that has not been used for a long period of
time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable.
Gas
To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that
the hot water faucet he opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink
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 no
smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
Electronic Ignition
The switches used to light your electronic ignition water heater are located in
the bathroom above the lavatory top. When the gas switch is turned on, the red
light will come on indicating the "try" mode is in effect. Normally the burner will
ignite in just a few seconds, and the light will go out. If your LP system hasn't
been used for some time, the system may go into safety lockout (about 20
seconds) before the air is all expelled from the lines. Turning the switch off for
30 seconds, then back on, reinstates the "try" mode.
A second switch for the water heater is also located on the panel. This provides
power to the heating element. DO NOT use unless you are sure the water heater
is full. (Open a faucet and see if there is a full stream of water on the hot side)
The 110-volt element may be operated at the same time as the gas burner. To
operate the 110-volt by itself simply turn the electronic gas igniter switch off.
