Venting System
• Venting system - inspect inside of flue pipe for any blockage
or restriction. Observe burner flames during heater
operation (front cover must be removed). Burner flames
should be steady and blue. Yellow, inconsistent (bouncing)
flames may be an indication of poor ventilation or
combustion air supply. Inspect the combustion air intake
pipe for blockage or debris. Inspect air intake and exhaust
terminations for blockage or debris.
Heat Exchanger
• Inspect burner observation window for cracks or spillage of
flue gases. Observe burner flames during heater operation.
Flames should be steady and blue with no signs of
yellowing. Yellow burner flames are an indication of
improper combustion. Refer to section 4.6 to verify the
exhaust system and combustion air supply meets the
manufacturer's specifications.
Pressure Relief
• Manually open the pressure relief valve to ensure proper
operation.
Every year

• In areas where the water supply has a high mineral content,
X
the heat exchanger should be flushed with a descaling
solution. Scale build up will shorten the life of the water
heater and damage resulting from scale is not covered
under warranty. Refer to section 7.3 for detailed
instructions on descaling the heat exchanger.
Condensate Siphon
• Check for debris and clean if needed.
7.2
The water heater must not be installed in a location where it
may be exposed to freezing temperatures. If the heater must be
